Oh man, no more Cris!
Crissy done fucked up. Apparently there was an interview published in which the makers of Cristal shot themselves in the feet pretty much the same way that Tommy Hilfiger did years ago when he started saying he didnt understand why his clothing had to be so popular with the urban community...yeah he doesnt have to worry about that anymore, does he? HAHAHA!
So...here's what it boils down to.
"In fact, the attitude of the house of Roederer to the unexpected popularity of Cristal among rappers is considerably more circumspect. Frédéric Rouzaud, who took over from his father as managing-director of the winery in January, says that Roederer has observed its association with rap with 'curiosity and serenity'. But he does not seem entirely serene. Asked if an association between Cristal and the bling lifestyle could actually hurt the brand, he replies: 'That’s a good question, but what can we do? We can’t forbid people from buying it. I’m sure Dom Pérignon or Krug would be delighted to have their business."
Dumb dumb dumb backwards stupid...anyway, let's see what happens to the sales now. Jay-Z has already pulled it from all his clubs.
