I make mead and home brew beer.
I won’t drink fermented, distilled potato juice. Sorry.

I will be conducting an Absolute boycott until I am sure they have learned their lesson. Stoly anyone?IMO, Absolut can never apologize enough. I don't see how any right-thinking American can ever buy their product again.
I have probably bought one or two bottles of Absolut ever. There are, IMO many other choices that are as good or better for the same price.

So this ad was supposed to have appeared only in Mexico??? Why is it written in English??
Do they have to press #1 for Spanish down there????

The perps are neither "clueless" or "stupid". More than one highly-paid individual in both the company and the advertising agency was involved in putting this ad together. National and world-wide advertising is not a mom-and-pop operation......it's the effort of many professionals working in concert.
There are many checks and balances when ads are put together to insure they are not dramatically offensive, will not generate lawsuits, etc.
This ad, therefore, did not just "happen". A highly-placed muckey-muck(s) in the company WANTED this "in your face, Americans" ad to run. And run it did whether or not the professionals working on it approved of it or not.
If we still have any spine, let's not pluck this vodka off the shelf......and let's tell our friends and family to do the same. This will let Absolut know that we're not buying their lame and self-serving mea culpas......and that we KNOW the offense was bald-faced and deliberately produced on purpose.

My own personal boycott of Absolut began the day I saw that ad. Nothing they can say now will change my stance. They have only dug themselves a deep hole that I hole from which I hope they never recover.

Absolut got tens of millions in free long term publicity.
Lots of alcohol drank in the Hispanic community and I bet signs in that area are still up.
We'll forget in a year probably.

“We have a policy to always reply to all emails individually, but due to the large amount of emails concerning the In an ABSOLUT World Mexico ad, we are unfortunately not able to answer all emails individually at this moment.”
I received the same generic reply.

I could be wrong, but I believe the company did get bought out in the last couple of days. The punishment/boycott will work only if we know who bought it and what else that company sells.

Hmmmm, if the company did get bought out, maybe the ad was a last-minute hit devised by a cunning disgruntled executive whose days were numbered.
My little gray cells are really working overtime, LOL. Pour me a vodka and orange juice, pul-eeez!
