Boycotting Latvian Vodka will do nothing to Russia

Dear West Hollywood/LGBT Community in the U.S.:

Boycotting Latvian vodka will do nothing to effect the economy or government of Russia.

Russia is run by a mob boss/dictator and the people are helpless but to comply or be killed. Attempting to hurt the economy will only put further wealth into the hands of the people that control and oppress the people of Russia.

But also, Latvia is not Russia. It is a completely different country altogether. Please educate yourselves...

... and do actual activism like writing the President of both the United states and the International Olympic committee and ask them to boycott the 2014 Olympics taking place in Russia. Now doing something like THAT might have an impact.

Why we gotta hate on one of our favourite vodkas made famous to us by Absolutely Fabulous?



Ironically Latvia's flag is a big fucking red and white equal sign....
