| Absolut vodka gives America to Mexicans |
Subject: Absolut vodka gives America to Mexicans by skirlin on 2008/4/12 2:05:59 I just read that the Swedish owned Absolut Vodka's new ad campaign is geared toward the Mexican market. Their ad shows a map of Mexico and North America with Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and California as part of Mexico. This ad caters to the Mexican sentiment that this area was stolen from them and is theirs. It seems that a lot of retailers are not too happy and choosing not to stock their product. Complaints by phone are hung up on and emails dumped without being read. Looks to me like Absolut Vodka is flying the middle finger salute  to the old stars and bars. Not very good business or manners IMO. :dontget: This was in todays edition of the Grand Rapids Press. |
