For the past several days I was questioning if this ad was even real because it wasn't listed on their site. This was just posted on Absolut's company blog in response to all the letters they've received.

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.

Nice apology. “Um, you weren’t supposed to see that...”

[homeguard]

I would love to know the specifics of the people who wrote and approved this piece of crap ad.

Absolut has to realize that Americans, in general, do not want Mexicans to visualize or think about the Aztlan alternative.

That's why we really should consider making war on Absolut, invading their property, destroying their equipment, shooting their people.

Yeah, that's the ticket, whatever Absolut intended what they get is HOT LEAD!

Ahus, Sweden, is in Scania, which is an only partially assimilated piece of countryside formerly part of Denmark for many centuries.

There is a possibility we can first develop a local FIFTH COLUMN that we can depend on to undermind the local Swedish puppet government.

Then, the dismantlement of Absolut can be done with much less investment in fire and iron.

“Instead, it hearkens to a time which the population of Mexico may feel was more ideal.”

NO. It harkens to a future desired by anti-american mexican-radicals.

I have to say to everyone ... thanks for all the good vodka ideas.

No I just need to see if they have the nice versions like Absolut Pepar / Kurrant and the others.

This has got to be one of the stupidest ad campaigns ever, and the company still doesn’t get it. I predict some turnover in Absolut’s marketing department.

An Absolut world?

“We are sorry if we offended anyone.”

You did not offend me... I’m just outraged.

[atomic_dog]

I got your "Absolut World" right here. Fat lot you useless neutral neuters did to fix this.

[Charlespg]

In no way was this meant to offend or disparage, nor does it advocate an altering of borders, nor does it lend support to any anti-American sentiment, nor does it reflect immigration issues. Instead, it hearkens to a time which the population of Mexico may feel was more ideal.

Maybe marketing their product in Germany would benefit from depicting Europe under the heel of Nazism or, perhaps, non-Aryans going up a chiminey in smoke until Absolut-ly reduced to ashes.

What scum.

[FormerLib]

Good enough for Serbia, good enough for the US.

[Bender2]

They'd sell more vodka... with this ad!

We have a variety of executions running in countries worldwide

I think a variety of executions would be a good idea.

[Polybius]

The In An Absolut World advertising campaign invites consumers to visualize a world that appeals to them -- one they feel may be more idealized

The German version:

In Ein ABSOLUT Welt

It’s a tremendous pity that all the energy that was spent on a vodka ad could have been directed at something that would actually have an impact on the wider issue.

Namely, asking politicians the questions about this issue that the MSM is afraid to ask, and then uploading the answers to Youtube. If people start holding politicians accountable, things will change in a hurry.

I haven't posted in a long time--too busy working to pay my taxes. Perhaps V&S (the swedish corp. that produces Absolut) could appreciate my take on it:



Never cared much for Absolut.

Their non-apology is NOT accepted.
