“Theyd be dropping em in the heart of Mexico city with arms to kill off the regimes. Or more likely, they would have NEVER stood for a foreign country imposing its will on us and encouraging its citizen to break our laws. “
Yep! Ol’ Teddy would solve the problem instead of trying to take financial advantage of it.

I sure hope that’s so, I haven’t seen reason to doubt it. He’s my favorite of the 3 for sure.

This has got to be one of the stupidest ad campaigns ever, and the company still doesn’t get it. I predict some turnover in Absolut’s marketing department.

These guys are going to push too far one of these days.
Folks are gettin very upset about this type of thing. I’m putting in lots of popcorn and softdrinks.

I'm going to the liquor store tonight to see about this new Van Gogh brand of flavored vodka.

You did not offend me... I’m just outraged.

I got your "Absolut World" right here. Fat lot you useless neutral neuters did to fix this.
To: mnehrling
In no way was this meant to offend or disparage, nor does it advocate an altering of borders, nor does it lend support to any anti-American sentiment, nor does it reflect immigration issues. Instead, it hearkens to a time which the population of Mexico may feel was more ideal.ABSOLUTE

***It’s a good thing that Muslims don’t drink alcohol, because in an Absolut world, would Israel not exist?
-PJ***
It might be good if the Moslems drank alcohol. After all, God made whiskey to keep the Irish from ruling the world.
To: Sender
No, why this ad never advocated the changing of borders or addressed any immigration issues. Not at all. Its a vision of a more ideal time. Yeah, a more ideal time when that stinking, corrupt, 3rd world, socialist hell-hole of a country took up even more geographic space that people would be trying to escape from in droves. Very ideal.

Maybe marketing their product in Germany would benefit from depicting Europe under the heel of Nazism or, perhaps, non-Aryans going up a chiminey in smoke until Absolut-ly reduced to ashes.
What scum.

Where's dane?
I was sure dane would admit (he/she/it) was wrong on all those other “Absolut” threads.
Perhaps I should wait here and hold my breath.../sarc
Never the less I'm sure Absolut will enjoy the fruits of this “publicity” at least as much as the Dixie Chicks enjoyed theirs. And I hope Absolut’s is just as profitable.

To: Grizzled Bear; Dane
I was the one that was wrong. I questioned if it was real. Dane was questioning meaning and motive.
To: mnehrling
On another thread Dane insisted that the ad was a hoax.
