did you notice that a Malkin reader also discovered the ad on a billboard??

[Petronski]

Stoli for .50 a liter.

[Petronski faints]

JMO, a brilliant marketing strategy on Absolut's part. Print an English ad in a Mexican magazine, and make the right wing American reactionaries get up to a rabid fervor.

As the old saying goes, "there is no such thing as bad publicity", and you all have proven it.

I wouldn't be surprised if michelle malkin is getting a kickback from Absolut.

[indcons]

How does that change anything, Dane? It’s not like they showed Mexico being colonized by the US. What on earth are you talking about?

[Arcy]

I would say the map accurately depicts the current population.

[puroresu]

Looks like you poured more tequila than usual over your cornflakes this morning.

[Petronski]

The ad basically states in a dream drunken world, that would happen.

Says you.

[thecabal]

Ah, you can always count on Dane to ride to the rescue of his reconquista buddies.

Sure it does, pal. That makes no sense for an ad.

[indcons]

If you hate FR’s “right wing American reactionaries” so much, what prevents you from joining your ideological bretheren at the DUmp?

[ecomcon]

Once again, you prove your amazing ability to see things upside down.

[evets]

TEXAS VODKA!

[Dane]

Ah, you can always count on Dane to ride to the rescue of his reconquista buddies.

Nah, just michelle malkin making money off your worst paranoid fears.

[jtal]

They were just bought.

The ultimate poison pill!

"The ad basically states in a dream drunken world, that would happen.

Very clever ad, plays on the paranoid American far right wing and on the small radical Mexican left wing. "

We're not stupid, we can see what the ad says. It dreams of destroying the union. What I don't see is how that is "clever" unless your goal is to enrage and alienate as many consumers as possible. I guess they're deciding that they'd be better off with 12 million illegal customers than the other law abiding 300 million. You don't have to be "far right" to want the western united states to remain as the property of the american people. I think for you to say that is quite illuminating of your poorly hidden radical nature.

[Mount Athos]

Appearing in a Mexican magazine makes it worse, not better.
What would Israelis think of a product that advertised “IMAGINE!” with Israels 1948 borders shown... Even if the advertisement only appeared in Arab countries. Actually again that makes it even worse

[Republic of Texas]

If you are a potato vodka kind of person, nothing beats Monopolowa.

[1rudeboy]

That’s what I was thinking. Though the example I thought of was covered by Godwin’s Law.

[farmer18th]

Maybe we need a map without the border and without any reference to Mexico and the words “Manifest Destiny” over the top?

[jjw]

how come I can’t buy a japanese car?

[messierhunter]

Michelle malkin isn’t the one making the threats dane, your side is. And guess what news agents are supposed to do? Get paid to report what other people are saying and doing... Your idiotic logic is like saying “Keith Olbermann is just making money off of your worst george bush fears.”
