Honestly, who is that out of touch at Diageo that they thought that they could pull that one off?

Yeah it was pretty stupid, though it's giving them a ton of free press and they're saying it doesn't reflect their corporate values...

“There was a serious misjudgement by Diageo staff at the awards dinner on Sunday evening in relation to the Bar Operator of the Year Award, which does not reflect in anyway Diageo’s corporate values and behaviour."
