My sarcasm must not have been too clear. On other threads dane kept saying -

1 - The ad was a hoax.

2 - Us “Right Wing Extremists (those who support legal immigration but don't want to grant amnesty to criminal invaders) were over reacting.

3 - “There's no such thing as bad publicity.”

I pointed out that the publicity thing might be true for a rock star or other celebrity but not for a company selling a product. The celebrity thing didn't even work for the Dixie Chicks.

Dane failed to reply.

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

Well I had a great dinner out last night.

That said, the irony of the ad is that it is an English ad in a Spanish magazine, which went over your reactionary head, also the ad states that if you drink Absolut vodka your dream will come true in a alcoholic haze, kinda of like when Steve Martin in the movie, "The Jerk" has to have the bamboo umbrella in his drink, like the magazine ad, to make him a stud.

I thought that most Americans had become more sophisticated to these 60's style Madison Ave. tricks, but I guess I'm wrong.
