It's a little disheartening that it's flagged as inappropriate, especially when the commercial is about two friends hanging out lol. Also, it reminded me of this Sprite ad:

Just because it's flagged, doesn't mean it is.

There is nothing inappropriate about it. Yes it does feature a woman who is trans, and a long lost friend, and *some* people would have a problem with her...

But it is those people who are inappropriate.

I liked the video, and shared it on my FB. Yay Absolut!

:)

I understand why they put it how they did.  i don't know how to put it,  i think its positive and shows a good friendship between two people and a acceptance eventually, actually quickly.

 :)aww that's nice. a little sappy, but very sweet. nice to see the odd positive/remotely realistic portrayal. like that's actually jarringly accurate for television.
