Forget Oscar, This Is Important...

Poland and Hungary are fighting over the definition of vodka. This is serious business, as Paul Belien explains, with far reaching implications: "The European Court of Human Rights in Strasburg ruled that the American brewer Anheuser-Busch is not allowed to use its Budweiser brand name in Portugal (or anywhere else in the EU)." What does beer have to do with vodka? It's all about the regulations, people -- who regulates, and who gets regulated.
