Over my dead body. Come take it bastards. Someone needs to be arrested for TREASON. This is a call to make war on the United States. The FBI knows who you are.

Mexico wants Utah back? Maybe Mitt can be a president after all.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 3 April 2008 14:30 (sixteen years ago) link

Why, why, why do I read the comments section on things like that? I need a brain scrub now.

OK, how about just California? I mean, good riddance of that communist treasonous 4th largest economy in world and USA tax base state!

Shame on the author of this site. People like you are the reason some Americans think all Mexicans hate The United States.

Wait a sec. I thought the point of the ad was that Mexico wanted part of the USA.

You know what they mean, even if they don't.

Mexicans are envious and angry

There are no mainstream news outlets reporting and it doesn't follow Absolut style of shaping some commonly recognized object like a vodka bottle. I'm saying poorly-executed hoax to rile up the whiners.

kingkongvsgodzilla, Thursday, 3 April 2008 16:51 (sixteen years ago) link

man, someone should post that playing on people's local prejudices and wishes to buy the same shit everywhere was capitalism at work, that would BLOW their MINDS

J0hn D., Thursday, 3 April 2008 17:02 (sixteen years ago) link

mookieproof, Thursday, 3 April 2008 17:04 (sixteen years ago) link

I love how humorless and fearful all the 'Let's now boycott Absolut' commentors are.

Hey, they needed a new cultural product to endorse after going for W Ketchup back in 2004, to defeat the evil of Heinz.

If a Scandanavian vodka company can actually get Mexico to declare war on the US, there are more problems in the world than I previously thought (also that would be a little awesome and I would send them my resume).

"Rise, Commander Perry. You are now the leader of the Stealth Sven/Ole Brigade. Marshall your troops at Hastings."

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 3 April 2008 18:09 (sixteen years ago) link

Said brigade's equivalent of the rebel yell: "OH YAH!"

"Generally, the officers of the army were indifferent whether the annexation was consummated or not; but not so all of them. For myself, I was bitterly opposed to the measure, and to this day regard the war, which resulted, as one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation. It was an instance of a republic following the bad example of European monarchies, in not considering justice in their desire to acquire additional territory." Ulysses S. Grant

Michael White, Thursday, 3 April 2008 18:10 (sixteen years ago) link

So who's going to follow this through the conservative blogosphere and write "YAAAAAH TRICK YAAAAAAAAAAAH!" comments?

HI DERE, Thursday, 3 April 2008 18:22 (sixteen years ago) link

Even I have my limits.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 3 April 2008 18:23 (sixteen years ago) link

HI DERE, Thursday, 3 April 2008 18:38 (sixteen years ago) link

This ad completely overlooks the many tens of thousands of Guatamalen, Honduran, and Panamanian emigrants to the USA who would appreciate their piece of the pie, too. I see Absolut Mexican jingoism at work here.

Aimless, Thursday, 3 April 2008 18:44 (sixteen years ago) link

omg an Absolut Jingoism ad would fucking RULE
