What Do You Think of Absolut Vodka's New Ads Glorifying Mexico Owning the US Southwest?

See for yourself.

Opinions?|||I think this is horrible. It doesn’t matter to whom the ad is targeted. Giving illegal aliens and those who would become illegals the feeling that this land belongs to them is WRONG.





We already have a problem with illegals driving drunk — I do not like the association between vodka and some kind of territorial acquisition.|||Love it! Of course it is historically accurate. I'll drink to that. Are you saying it offends you to be reminded of our imperialist past, in which our government helped itself to half of Mexico by force? I guess you are pretty much in denial of the dark side of the alabaster cities' gleam.





Ooooo. Another advocate of the medieval ideal "might makes right." LOL|||It's a good thing that Muslims don't drink alcohol, because in an Absolut world, would Israel not exist?Oh,Why didn’t they advocate the Mexicans getting rid of their corrupt goverment? That’s what their ‘dream’ should be.|||ROFLMAO.





Absolut-ly f'n hilarious.





Do they think they are going to turn the margarita-drinkers into martini swillers with this?





Too ridiculously inane.|||now that I think about it . that does stink but the Brand is probably not USA owned , so screwem. I still say they can have California especially Sanfransicko and Hollywood|||Absolut is entitled to their opinion.





Personally, what they are promoting is about as far from a "perfect" world as you can get. And it's about as far away from historically accurate as you can get also.





I drink Belvedere vodka anyway.|||You won a war that Mexico did not want, correction.


And, hahaha.|||I just shrug it off to a pretty cleaver advertising stunt.
