In other words - ‘We’re pulling the ad, but absolutely believe that Americans should never have noticed it, as it wasn’t aimed at that market.’
And to whit I respond: How would you react to a map with Russia owning most of Sweden?
Yeah, thought that wouldn’t be a funny joke to you. Morons.

"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," a spokeswoman wrote on Absolut's Web site.Read closely, people.
That is NOT an apology.

Mexicans will now just be drinking the vodka that Americans won’t drink.

I was thinking something like that.
But I think hash marks in Sweden might be good too.

If the ad was intended for the Mexican market, then why was it printed in English?

Major enterprises people in their marketing departments that are on the lookout for things like this, at least since the infamous Chevrolet Nova - No va episode.
Mexico is one of the largest US trading partners. To the extent that the Swedes can disrupt US/Mexico relations it is to the EU’s benefit.
I don’t think this ad was an accident, but then I’m just a paranoid right wing nut...

I am trying to think if there are ballparks with huge absolut ads. They do a lot of sponsorships.
Scr*w them.

They are not using the Euro.
