Subject: Absolut outrage over new vodka advertisement Author: (Has to be seen to be believed) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Sat, April 05, 2008 9:13:56 Same advert (that has to be seen to be believed) on both sites. Liberal take on this issue: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/laplaza/2008/04/mexico-reconque.html Conservative take on this issue: http://michellemalkin.com/2008/04/04/absolut-arrogance-and-the-advert... All I've got to say is that this just completely feeds right into the notion some Americans have that illegal aliens (all 20 million of them) don't see the United States as a country that they necessarily want to become citizens of, and assimiliate into, but rather a country that they can benefit from while the southwest part of the nation becomes so predominantly Hispanic that within the next 50 years there's a serious to cecede from the union and lobby for statehood back into Mexico. The ad is outrageous, offensive, and divisive. Next time I go on one of my drunken benders and wake up the next morning in a Greyhound bus station bathroom face down in a pool of my own filth, it will have been because of I got wasted on Smirnoff or Finlandia, but never again will I lose control of all bodily functions because of Absolut. They've lost my money forever. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date Re: Yes the ad is very offensive to us, but the ad targets the people of Mexico. I'm sure they love it! (NT) I wouldn't buy this product either. Sat, April 05, 2008 4:14:03
