[fullchroma]

Freeped. Thank you. (I’m enjoying some other vodka at this very moment.)

[Gorzaloon]

Why don’t you send this to the Absolut people. See if they have the guts to run the exact map in an ad.

Of course I did..And am looking for a good one of the Napoleanic Empire as well. The Euros ought to think that's a scream, because, unlike us dung-caked Colonials, they are just SO sophisticated. :-)

Thanks to Toldyou for da ping!

57.4 % The ad is an affront to Americans. I'm going to boycott the product.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

OMG!

How interesting!

[The past is the future]

I think it is time to free Mexico......I think we could use another couple of states in the union.

[HiJinx]

Now, that’s an interesting set of poll results. I guess I need to go vote...

FWIW, I’m not much of a vodka drinker. Given a choice, I’d probably drink Smirnov.

[yorkie]

According to the poll, it looks like there a lot of NYT’s readers (over 59%) that are going to boycott Absolut Vodka.

Now, what’s that all about? I thought NYT’s readers were in favor of making every city a Sanctuary City for all illegal immigrants, and wanted to make Mexico part of the USA with no border! (At least Aztlan!)

Oh. Maybe some forums and bloggers are voting, too. My mistake.

[EDINVA]

haven’t they already pulled the ad?

[Nea Wood]

Voted...bumping

I'm not a vodka drinker anyway, so me boycotting ABSOLUT won't hit them.

We do, however, own a liquor store and I'm interested to see how sales are impacted. I'm inclined to not carry it anymore, but the stock we have we own (i.e. can't send them back).

[phil1750]

Absolut has now released an apology. Will probably be too little too late.

[USMC Brat]

Their apology registers more like a non-apology. Indeed, too little and too late.

I can see where Absolut got the idea for their ad.
