You Sure About That, Absolut?

Absolut's Mexican ad campaign.

Nice quote here:

"In no way was this meant to offend or disparage, nor does it advocate an altering of borders, nor does it lend support to any anti-American sentiment, nor does it reflect immigration issues," a spokeswoman wrote on Absolut's Web site.

Yeah, I like that quote matched up with this one:

"Mexicans remain sensitive about the loss and the location of the border. At the same time, the United States is fortifying barriers to keep out undocumented Mexican migrants."

and...

"Some Mexicans use the term "Reconquista" (reconquest) to refer to the growing presence in California of Mexican migrants and their descendants."


But, Oh, In no way is this meant to advocate the altering of borders. Plus they said it was marketing directed at Mexicans and not for the US. really.

Also, isn't Sweden another one of those countries that's been accepting quite a few Middle Eastern immigrants over the last quarter century? Well, they'll get theirs, I guess.
