Damn, that's a little harsh! But I'm glad not to be sh*t by any standard.

Moran, Moron. It’s soooo close!

I didn’t want to go there, yet,,,however,,,if the shoe fits and I’d say it does!

There are so many other choices on the market. These PR guys know this. I just don’t get it, really. Is it arrogance, stupidity, both?

Amen to that.

You know, I don’t know vodkas at all. I would love to have a picture of a shelf full of different brands of vodka, maybe in a bar. All the brands would be represented EXCEPT for anything having to do with Absolute and its parent company. I’d have to find a catchy slogan for it, but it would mimic the MAP that has gotten them so much negative attention.

I love Michelle Malkin’s version with the border fence. That’s my dream.

I would have boycotted them...if it wasn’ for the fact that I haven’t had a drink in 13 years. :-)

"The ad has been down -- have you not seen the Pears ad in its place?"

What did you write to him to receive such a snarky reply?

When they publish an absolut ad depicting an INS center as seen from the air ,in the shape of their bottle with a caption:

“Illegal immigration is not an Absolut Right”

I’ll buy their product again.

SKYY

Vodka is donkey piss anyway.....

No wonder they would run such an hate-America lunatic ad......

It will be easy for me to boycott since I never drink donkey piss......

It would be wonderful to see Absolut do a total crash & burn over this, sales crashing, executives fired, etc. I won’t hold my breath but I can dream!

I pointed out that, while “there is no such thing as bad publicity,” there is such thing as bad advertising and I was ignored.
