So passing by this liquor store in downtown Washington, D.C. And I noticed these interesting liquor bottles in the shape of knifes and guns. The knife was full of rum, and I am not certain, but I think the gun was filled with Vodka. So in the age of gun control and other anti-violence movements, what is the messaging with these "bottles"? Perhaps it's what many are looking for in stressful times, just a way to let their inhibitions go--a little bit. The weapons image--macho, alpha male, interesting, cool...but safely--no harm, no foul. ;-) (Source Photos: Andy Blumenthal)
