NEW YORK
uk ugg boots, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- A New York vodka manufacturer says it has removed a billboard that promised "Christmas Quality; Hanukkah Pricing."
Panache Beverages
ugg te koop, the maker of Wodka vodka
Ugg boots, had become known in the city for ads that skate close to the edge
www.bootsstoreengland.com, the New York Daily News reported. Past efforts have included "Hamptons Quality; Newark Pricing" and "Escort Quality; Hooker Pricing."
Ron Meier, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League
www.laarzentekoop.com, said the latest effort went way overboard. He said it suggests Hanukkah is second-rate compared with Christmas.
"Particularly with the long history of anti-Semitic stereotypes about Jews and money
www.chaussuresenfrance.com, with the age-old notion that Jews are cheap, to use the Jewish holiday in dealing with issues of money is clearly insensitive and inappropriate
Ugg soldes," Meier said.
Wodka uses its ads to suggest it is a premium vodka selling for a thrifty $9 per 750-milliliter bottle.
Dale James
Ugg Pas Cher, an owner of Panache
Laarzen ugg, said he was surprised by the reaction to the ad. He told WCBS-TV he had received death threats.about:
