A Polish vodka company is facing outrage after sending an ad that seems to have made light of rape to nearly 1 million people through various social media sites.

Belvedere Vodka tweeted and posted on Friday via Facebook the ad showing a smiling man grabbing a frightened woman from behind. Although the company removed the ad an hour later, it went viral and circulated heavily around the Internet.

The ill-advised attempt at frat-boy humor features a tagline under the black-and-white photo that reads, Unlike some people Belvedere always goes down smoothly, according to Forbes magazine.

Belvedere tweeted out an apology after taking down the ad.

We apologize to any of our fans who were offended by our recent tweet. We continue to be an advocate of safe and responsible drinking, read the tweet.

That wasn't enough for some readers.

FAIL. Never touching your product ever again, tweeted one follower in response.
