Boycott Absolut... they wouldn't run an ad like this in Greece and Turkey, or in Israel and the Palestinian Territories, or in India and Pakistan. This is a blatant insult to American consumers. Don't reward them with your dollars. Plenty of other Vodkas out there.

I dunno..........the “U.S.” gets Barak, Hillary or McCain; living in Texas, I get Mexico.

Not a bad trade.

The contents of my email...

Hi,

Just saw your “Reconquista” ad.

Is that what you guys support?

Be advised, all of the organizations that actually support America are going to be notified of you extremely offensive ad.

This will include all branches of the military, church organizations city and State Fire and police fraternities, college fraternities, State and National politicians and political organization, etc.

Just so you will know what to expect.

As for my suggestion? About a year or two of pro-America ad campaigns.

Thanks!



If everyone will please find and post (here) a couple of email addresses of such organizational contacts I will at leas send each one an email expressing just how offensive that ad is to me.

Thanks, TLI

I think this is horrible. It doesn’t matter to whom the ad is targeted. Giving illegal aliens and those who would become illegals the feeling that this land belongs to them is WRONG.

We already have a problem with illegals driving drunk — I do not like the association between vodka and some kind of territorial acquisition.

The map covers what used to be Mexico's claimed borders before our 1846 war with them from which the U.S. took possession of California, Texas, New Mexico, etc.

We also paid for the land. We could have taken the whole sorry country after the war. Perhaps we should have.

My email to Jeffrey Moran:

Dear Gringo de Mexico:

I was apalled (sp?) to hear about your Absolut World ad in Quien magazine. It is an Absolut disgrace to portray the corrupt nation of Mexico as having retaken American land. If you really believe in that garbage, why don't you move your headquarters down there and see how long you last before the Mexican government plunders you for every last penny.

(If I were in charge, I would have you indicted for treason for advocating the retaking of American land by Mexico, in effect sympathizing with Reconquista elements, which are, by definition, enemies of America. It would stand up in court because way more than two people have seen your ad.)

Sincerely,

[Centurion2000]

I'm just going to post this at some Russian Grocery stores here in Texas. I'm sure our recent Russian immigrants will go apesh*t over this crap.

I also just forwarded an email stating that I'll be doing the same to the contact guy.
