So they have no problem appealing to the imperialistic invasionist “sensibilities” of mexicans, in other words. How nice. Imagine, just imagine the outrage that would happen in THIS country if a business ran an ad showing a diced up map of Iraq with the words “United States of America” writting across it followed by some text that indicated that this was a favorable outcome. So now, reasonable mexicans should be outraged at the company for insinuating that they desire to take over a large portion of the US, just as we should be angry at the company for attempting to stoke those desires in order to sell a product.

Absolut is concocted in Ahus, Sweden, in an area called Scania. This used to be part of Denmark and had been for many centuries. One of the messages Absolut may be sending has nothing whatsoever to do with North American politics and history ~ cold be Absolut is stirring up revolution in Scania against their overlords in Sweden!

Reconsidering a bit here, maybe we don't need to take out Absolut ~ the Swedish government may well be interested in doing that itself.
