Absolutely insane

(Note: I am told that this is the person to send a complaint to about the Absolut ad: jacob.broberg@vsgroup.com.)

Regarding the Mexican advertisement for Absolut Vodka showing the map of Mexico expanding to cover the entire U.S. Southwest as a portrait of “an Absolut world,” meaning a perfect world, there are two possibilities. Either the management of Absolut has gone insane, using a commercial advertisement to attack the sovereignty of a major country and major market, and don’t care about the effect this incredible insult to the U.S. will on their U.S. sales; or else somebody within the Absolut company, some leftist, thought this was a cool idea, and as soon as it comes to the attention of the top people the ad campaign will be pulled. I suspect it’s the latter and that the ad will soon be gone.
