clipboard03asdasdasdasd.jpgI’m not shitting you. In Russia you can send a text message to your manufacture of Vodka to find out if it is legit. With everyone and their mother in America owning a cellphone, why can’t we use it to vote?

Sad thing is this program wasn’t started by makers of Vodka either, but by the freaking country of Russia! I guess they kind of have to, over 40,000 deaths a year occur due to fake booze. I’m a wine and beer man myself, but I’ll have the occasional screw driver when at parties.
