Stolichnaya, the famous Russian vodka, is hunting for the next Stoli Original. The theme: "Would You Have a Drink With You?" To win, all you have to do is submit an audition tape online. The public will then vote on which video has the most "flavor." The winner will be announced on December 14. He or she will not only appear in 2011 digital advertisements, but will also win $25,000.
In the ad campaign's honor, Short Order has compiled a list of people who would never agree to

somebody else.
