How about the cheap $10 dollar a gallon Popav if you're feeling brave?

I believe the term is "crazy-brave."

Why would you dump away product you already own?

Absolut is based in Ahus, which is part of Scania. This region was part of the original Danish Kigdom (Jutland, Zealand and Skaneland) from the 9th century until the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658.
Perhaps Danes should use the following map for their campaign.

We are sorry if we offended anyone.

Non-apology apology. Does anyone anymore either sincerely apologize for doing wrong or stick to their guns and refuse to admit any fault? /rhetorical question I'd respect either of those responses more.

Someone should ask Absolut to create an ad portraying an out of business vodka company- using a vodka bottle.

Tell them "we're inviting consumers to visualize a world that appeals to them ."

So what this company is really saying is:

“Drink our stuff, even if our ads offend you because you weren’t supposed to see them in the first place. We pander to the demographic area we are marketing to, even if that means denigrating another part of the world (or omitting another part, as the case may be). But anyway, drink our vodka.”

They have no excuse other than marketing, so,,, we’ll just have to see how that marketing plays out. Since they area already responding via their website, my thought is, they are feeling some heat.

Here’s to more Stoli,,,or Titos,,,or another type of Vodka.

Anything BUT that A_________ type. I don’t want to type their name.

No, why this ad never advocated the changing of borders or addressed any immigration issues. Not at all. It’s a vision of a more ideal time.

Did you post this when you were high?
