In an attempt to be "edgy," the Absolut Vodka manufacturer created an ad that hearkened back to the first Mexican Empire and included much of what is indisputably the United States of America. The ad (seen at right) placed California, Colorado and Texas in Montezuma's Revenge territory, which would be a disaster for the average human smuggler; could you imagine having to cross Texas on foot just to get a decent job or drink clean water?

As far as Norte Americanos are concerned...Absolut should be avoided..absolutely!
Michelle Malkin had a nice column about this today.
"..Absolut Vodka is a Swedish brand of vodka, produced near Åhus, Scania, in southern Sweden..."
Every time I see or think of this product, I am going to remember that photo of a couple years ago, showing thousands of Mexicans/protesters flying the Mexico flag on USA soil, while holding my country’s flag upside down.
I wonder if they run ads in the Baltic countries and Poland showing them as part of Russia? Or maybe they are showing East Prussia and Alsace and Lorraine as part of Germany in their European ads?
Boycott hell! These socialist America-haters deserve to have their product banned from import into the United States, as they would be banned in Latvia or Poland if they pulled a similar stunt there! Let’s see Congress do something about these fat Euro pigs in an election year!
Good point! They won’t get banned, but I hope people notice and by some other Vodka.
Boycott ‘em until they fold.
Where’s the ad of Norway as a provence of Denmark? Sweden as a protectorate of Nazi Germany?
How much more idiotic could these people get?
America used to buy the biggest share of their product.
They Absolut-ly screwed up!
“Absolut: The official vodka of the North American Union!”
anybody got an email address for these morons?
One can hardly expect cartographic accuracy from the opium dream of an earnest if undereducated nationalist, but this is a bit much. The U.S. once claimed large swathes of Canada ("54-40 or fight!") but I would hardly think it good manners to suggest to the Canadians living there that in some mythical Absolut world they'd be Yanks. Most of them sort of like things the way they are.
Although it would get rid of that 55-yard line...
All the whites in America move back to Europe, the blacks to Africa, the Chinese to Asia, the Indians to India, and the present territory of the U.S.is left to these "indigeneous peoples", the ones you see in front of Home Depot stores, the ones who carry leaf blowers on their backs. Europe, Asia, India would only benefit from the influx of Americans (I don't know about Africa), but what would happen here? Meheeco all over the place, which is what is now happening to Texas and California, the culture is following the leaf blowers,like it or not, except they on this side of the border they are "rich" enough to drive low riders!
In an Absolut world the Canadians would be freed of socialist health care shortages and September 14 would be celebrated as Occupation Day commemorating the American occupation of Mexico City. As it is, no one really cares. We paid for the only parts of Mexico we were interested in and the Marines gained an opening for the Corps Hymn.
