#3 I think the damned fool who put that ad out for public consumption is going to be looking for another job shortly. Bad, bad move and it's going to hurt their business a LOT. They deserve it for being so rude and offensive. They have no one to blame but themselves.

#6 Maybe they'll get 100% of the Mexican vodka market. But losing 10% of the US market could be real painful.

#7 I wonder if the brilliant minds of Absoult would run an ad in Norwegian mag showing a [re-]unified Sweden which incorporates Norway with a similar implication. Try that on May 17th in Oslo.

#8 Somewhere, you just know some Muslim is having a fit because that new map resembles one of the 657,845,223rd most holy place in the pisslam world and it is heretical to ridicule that (or some such)
but i absolutly won't be buying any absolut anyway.
