Absolut ad redraws the U.S.-Mexico border
Posted in: Uncategorized
An Absolut ad from Mexico City that shows Mexico taking over a large portion of the United States? Oh, that’s not going to go over well up here. Not at all. And sure enough, it isn’t. “Absolut-ly outrageous,†says Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit. “Absolut-ly insulting,†adds Brian Ledbetter. (At least they’re not so enraged that they forget to pun on the Absolut name.) Rather than complain, Patrick Ishmael over at The News Bucket whips up his own altered map, on which Absolut’s homeland of Sweden gets totally hosed by Finland. UPDATE: Under pressure, Absolut has now apologized for the ad.
