Absolut Vodka is the latest company to sell out the United States and pander to the reconquistas who are fighting for Aztlan (the retaking of the Southwest of the United States).
This latest attack on the sovereignty of the United States can be seen on billboards in Mexico and in print ads in magazines where it is declared "In an Absolut world" and shows a picture of Mexico owning the Southwest of the United States.
I am currently boycotting this brand permanently and I ask you to do so as well. There is plenty of other Vodka out there.
It is infuriating that companies who have made their livelihoods with the dollars of Americans continue to slap us in the face time and time again. Enough already! Stop buying their products!
No apology is necessary Absolut. We now know where you stand.

As the list grows below, Absolut should know how Absolut-ley f'in screwed they are. I'd estimate at least a few million hits a day over several years just on the websites below.
Somebody needs to take a copy of this and bang John McCain over the head with it. Maybe it would wake him to the fact that this Illegal Alien affair is in fact an Invasion.
The only way McCain will get my vote is to do a complete about face on ILLEGALS and he won't do that. He refers to them as God's Children.
Americans then, in McCain's view must be ORPHANS.
I am polling my Family and Friends as to a write in vote. We, Americans, have no candidate, as yet, in this election.

This ad has brought out an even uglier side of US jingoism. Get over yourselves, Americans! It’s just an ad. You should be more offended about the REALITY of US Imperialism and Republican terrorism than the fantasy represented in a liquor ad. Grow a brain!
This is just an advert, why do people take it so seriously. Immigration is a necessity in the world. It has existed since the dawn of time, people move around naturally, you just need to accept it.
Boycott Absolut Vodka and BOYCOTT MEXICO! I've been to Mexico several times but will never step foot in that country again unless they stop sending their rejects to the US to welch off our system! Please encourage everyone you know who is planning a trip to Mexico to go elsewhere. Tourism is their #1 source of income, I believe, so let's hit them where it hurts...

To: "Glenn" -- is that even your real name? I saw your freak show postings...
You see, since you're a Mexican and said so on your site, you obviously agree with the ad's sentiment and therefore support it. We Americans are fed up with ILLEGALS FROM MEXICO INVADING OUR COUNTRY AND FREELOADING! Get it dumbass?

Actually as president, Vicente Fox stated that remittances from Mexicans abroad - and the largest portion from the US - has been Mexico's number one source of revenue since 2003. Even surpassing their oil industry.
To: Digger, Sadly, I stand corrected. How sad is that that their #1 form of income is remittances from Mexicans "abroad" -- predominantly the USA I'm sure!
Everybody, click on the link above for Illegal Protest. There's an email address for the ad agency in Mexico that came up with this campaign -- Teran/TWBA. Contact this agencie's other clients as listed and encourage them to drop this agency. My husband was in the ad biz on the client management side for 20 years for national clients, and they don't want any kind of a boycott of their products! I'm sure their other clients know that Americans are very ticked off about this. You can email the agency as well. TWBA is a huge agency. Let's take away business from this Mexican ad agency that came up with this pandering ad campaign.
