Absolut Vodka Apologizes for Ad Campaign

What I don't understand is how the US stole land that Mexico initially stole from Apache and Cherokee. Can you steal stole stuff already?
 
We didn't steal it!! :mad:

If so, then Poland better give a big chunk of land back to Germany, and so forth and so on. Oh, and France owes the UK a chunk of continental soil, yes?
 
For the record, I found the ad amusing, and I am American. :)
 
I'm kind of pissed that Absolut apologized. Are Americans really that humorless and whiny? If Absolut had any balls their next campaign would be a British owned 13 Colonies, A West Coast owned China, and the Native Americans taking the entirety of the 'heartland'.

Laugh. Don't laugh. I don't care. but dear god, don't whine when there's no reason to.
 
When historically did China do anything to the west coast of north America besides see it from ships in the 1400s?

anyway the ad is lame, it was done purposely to stimulate interest in the company. It was meant to be offensive, its called guerrilla marketing strategies.

Anyone who finds this offensive is a hypersensitive douche. Silly maybe. Lame? Fair enough. But offensive is absolutely stretching it.

And China cause they seem to be so popular in the other threads the last few days. And they built the railroads....and the opium dens. And one of my favorite characters on Deadwood was Chinese.

I know I know! Just playing devils advocate! You know I'd be the first one to form a guerrilla unit in the southwest to stop Mexican secessionists. :D

I actually don't think it was meant to be offensive. It was only run in Mexico, where presumably it would be funny, and wouldn't stir up any controversy.

The treasure fleets never went anywhere near that far east.
 
The USA stole the land from Mexico. It is theirs and should be returned. The non mexicans should be deported.

Sweden stole Skane from Denmark. It is theirs and should be returned. The non-danes should be deported.

That would be the end of Sweden.

Well all of the swedes came in after the Proto-Europeans. So the rest should go back to the laplanders, and the swedes deported to India. :p

What I wouldn't give to see AL as a minority!

Ohhhh how the philosophy would change.

"A nationalist without a nation"

There's a book title.
 
This just shows you how worked up people can get over something as minor as an advert. It's almost as embarrassing than the whole "freedom fries" crap that the right wing blogosphere went off on 5 years ago.

Exactly. It means people really don't have anything more important to do...
 
The European countries of today stole land from Italy when the Roman empire collapsed so Italy should get Europe!
 
Any Roman putting their dirty feet in Sweden with conquering in mind would have been owned. :p

Nah you need to give back Sweden to Norway. :D
