That Was Then
Here’s a little holiday gift for the human-resources department. In a 1970s ad for Cossack vodka, the woman takes the role of office lech, apparently having her way with Mr. Smithers and his pretty green eyes. (We can assume this is not the Mr. Smithers from The Simpsons, who wouldn’t have been interested.) The ad plays it clean and dirty, as does the vodka with its pretend Slavic pedigree. We wouldn’t wish this mess on even the most conflict-avoidant chief people officer. —Linda Wells
