Over the weekend, the Prince of Monaco was hospitalized, along with three of his friends/bodyguards, by a New York club owner, reportedly in part for helping themselves to the New Yorker’s bottle of Grey Goose vodka. Now isn’t this an ad that simply writes itself? All they have to do is refer to this incident and say: “Grey Goose vodka: The only vodka in the world that’s fine enough for Royals to risk hospitalization by assault to drink.” Or they could say: "Grey Goose vodka: The only vodka that's desirable enough for the super-rich to literally fight over it." (The allegation is that the prince and his buddies were helping themselves to the New Yorker’s $500 bottle of “table serve” Grey Goose vodka.) And isn't this like so many other commercials where people go to great and ridiculous lengths to eat or drink the product advertised? So it would fit right in with that advertising trend, in addition to having the unique characteristic of being perhaps 100% true, or at the very least, "based on a true story". (And after this, perhaps Grey Goose can create a special, even more expensive version of their vodka, called: "Grey Goose Royal Rumble Collection".)
Here’s the story that was a real royal pain:
