What Borders?

Absolut Disgrace

The newest Mexican reconquista pandering ad from Absolut vodka ( in the current issue of Quien magazine):

Absolut vodka ad

In an Absolut World anything can happen including getting the US-Mexico border straight once and for all.”

Uh, no thanks.

I’d boycott Absolut vodka — except I’m more of an Irish Whiskey drinker myself (Powers).

Although, when I do have a bloody mary (Saturday morning tailgating during UT football season), thankfully Austin has a pretty damned-good local vodka (Tito’s).

UPDATE (April 3)

A reader at Michelle Malkin’s place came up with a much, much better ad for Absolut:

I’ll drink to that.

  8. Mr. Jeffrey Moran,

    Apparently you need to go back to school and study history again. You are a low class moron (even sounds like moran)! You need to get over yourself. Mexico does not own the United States of America!!! STUPID!!!

America is not (only) The U.S.A. We (other countries, even Mexico) Loves your culture, your music and your womans. If you want to Take the land… No problem.. we are waiting 4 u.

    Your civil war it was a punish of God…. We salute you from a part of the Old Mexico. “IRELAND-MEXICO STATE”. “Erin Go Bragh!”. We are back again! Remember St Patrick?
