I understand that this advertisement has been pulled by Absolut.

that is not good enough.
They need to run an ad in America that shows the border of the US down to Mexico City which was our territory after the war. We were too kind and gave it back.
Until they make a likewise boneheaded advertising decision that pisses off the reconquista invaders and Mexican alcohol distributors, nothing has been “made right”.
Their apology rings hollow.
They are sorry they got caught.
Great advertising opportunity for a bar to get the local news over while they smash all their Absolut in the parking lot.
I’d show up (actually, I’d show up without the stunt).
Is there any way we can get the Mexicans fired up and boycotting Absolut because they buckled under to the "Yanquis"? Might as well destroy them in two markets if we can.
I think this one is next:
On the other hand, it's saved us countless billions in welfare money.
I used to love an absolut gimlet. “Used to” is the key phrase here. Won’t ever buy another bottle. Anybody have contact information for those clowns so we can let them know of our intentions?
Militant
I think we should spread this aricle far and wide, so much so that Absolut can actually quantify their losses.
Sure, it had about 54 pages of comments when I left my own this morning:

57 pages and growing. Negatives are winning looks like 20:1
Excellent. I was thinking Germany circa 1942 myself.
If we annexed it today, that would be the case.
If what is now Northern Mexico had remained war tested Texan territory, the corrupt officials would never have gotten control of the region and things would not be so bad off there. Except maybe in the sourthern most “border” region.
There were people who thought prohibition of alcoholic beverages would lead to an ideal world as well. They even succeeded for a few years in passing a constitutional amendment. Maybe we should ban Absolut Vodka from being imported and explain that we’re just catering to the desired ideals of certain people.
In an Absolut Shariah law world, there would be no Absolut.

if you do a little searching I think you’ll find it...
it was posted on one of the earlier FR threads this week.
Yes, you’re correct.
What bugs me .. we fought a war for this land - and then we paid Mexico MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR THIS LAND - and now they want it BACK - I don’t call that ideal .. I call that ignorance.
Hispanic groups have been lying to their people for years that we stole it - and it’s going to be up to them to TAKE IT BACK.
Another falacy. If they believe they will reap the reward of the American lifestyle .. they are sadly mistaken. If they can’t reform their own country .. why allow them to ruin ours.
