If that were the case, and there was no notion of reconquista intent, or the mythical homeland of Atzlan, or if illegal aliens from Mexico had not made this assertion then how would the marketing folk at Absolut have come up with this idea? The fact is that because they considered this as a marketing ploy, it must be fairly evident and available. This absolut ad does nothing more than to prove the intentions of illegal aliens from Mexico. Their intentions are so strong that a vodka company, whose primary demographic does not include them found out that this feeling was so strong amongst them they would include it in an ad! No more saying that this idea of Aztlan is imaginary.


This is the most salient of all points. How does a Swedish company come up with this idea if it isn't there within the Mexican culture and within their agenda.

My husband remembers an old Guinness ad and he thinks they borrowed and twisted the concept.

It was run on Irish tv right before paddy's day. They showed clips from major cities around the world and said something along the lines of :

The world is a diverse place (showing the pictures of cities from around the world), but one day a year, something magical happens.....(Irish music in the background) EVERYONE BECOMES IRISH! (then they showed st paddy's celebrations in the US, Australia, Japan, Holland, and one other country he can't recall. the ad ended with a picture of a pint of Guinness sitting in front of a Kelley green spinning earth.

And to further the impact of this ad on Americans, so that the passive agressive Swedes can understand... Imagine if there was a liquor ad that had a map of scandanavia on it covered by a red flag with a reich eagle in the middle. That is the essence of what they are illustrating by their hateful ad.

You're welcome. May I suggest you read this thread and in particular Bettybb's letter to the Swedish consulate.

NO KIDDING!!!!!

My brother-n-law owns an exterminator company and does restaurants in NY and NJ. He has heard them say that Spanish is going to be the FIRST language of this country.

I think NOT!

This particular ad, which ran in Mexico and has run its course, was
based upon historical perspectives and was created with a Mexican
sensibility. In no way was this meant to offend or disparage,

Well, then, perhaps they won't mind doing a version that shows a "Great Wall Of China" type structure on the entire West coast to appeal to American sensibilities!

That ad is definately hitting a very big nerve in the collective conscious of patriotic Americans.

Secure the border and enforce the Law!

We don't want your drugs, illegal foreign nationals breaking our laws(I WOULD NOT EVEN DARE CALL THEM IMMIGRANTS), or criminal companies with cheap illegal labor subsidized by HONEST, PATRIOTIC, LAW ABIDING US CITIZENS!

I've always heard that you shouldn't consume the product you sell.
