Not The Mad Hatter's Tea Par-Tay

While few things are as amusing as white people rapping (see, e.g. Bulworth), this clip straddles the domains of "hilarious" and "cringeworthy".

It's got men in J. Crew seersuckers rapping lines like, "we may be vanilla, but our labs are chocolate" and "We're keepin' it real/and by real, we mean rich/from Vermont to New Hampshire/from Cape Cod to Greenwich". Blondes clad in the cliche of pearls and Peeps-colored sweater vests sway their hips as seductively as white people of Anglo-Saxon extraction can (which isn't saying much).

Apparently, it's Smirnoff's new advertisement for one of its bottled beverages. Or it's a relatively clever spoof.
