The Absolut Spirits Company has acquired a controlling interest in U.S.-based rum, brandy and wine supplier Cruzan International. The V&S Vin & Sprit subsidiary bought the controlling stake in Cruzan from Angostura, pursuant to an earlier-announced stock purchase agreement between Angostura and V&S. Subsequent to the execution of the stock purchase agreement, V&S assigned all of its rights to Absolut, which purchased all 4.29 million shares of Cruzan common stock beneficially owned by Angostura, currently representing approximately 63.6% of the company's outstanding common stock, for $121.837 million.

Dear Sir!



I cannot express the level of outrage I feel about your Absolut “Reconquistaâ€

http://www.absolut.com/iaaw/blog/give-u ... t#comments

Tons of comments being left on this ad at their blog site.

Can someone please fix that url link on page one. I can't read it scrolling back and forth.

If Congress had a little insight, patriotism, and guts then they would be holding hearings on the collapse of the country rather than worrying about the collapse of Bear Stearns. But, it's all about the global economy (stupid?) and political correctness rather than the country, I guess.

The scary thing is that Absolut probably did some research into this before running the ad and this is what appeals to their target audience. They might not care too much about the rest of us; but to offend the target audience would be a no-no. So, it would seem that we have a bunch of people in our midst who want and support reverting back to 18th century illusionary Spanish maps. Neither Spain nor Mexico ever owned the northern portion of what is shown on that map to be Mexico because the Apaches and Comanches wouldn't allow it; however Spain/Mexico did claim it on those paper maps.

It's sad that the American people (not the ones here, obviously) are generally too ill-informed or ignorant to see what is happening and then either too indoctrinated into political correctness and open border propaganda and lies or too obsessed with getting bigger SUVs or just too numb from being beaten down so long that resistance is considered futile even if they do figure it out.

Comment posted on their site. We need to crash their phone system with calls too.

I told him Absolut needs to pull this ad TODAY and issue a public apology to the American people. i also told him I've sent this story to everyone I know as are many Americans. He said it was the Mexican office that did it and he's put a call in to them but hasn't heard back yet. The guy was very patronizing. INFURIATING

And that shows how they view things in Mexico, doesn't it?

I sent out links about this to all 50 people in my address book.

I'm also a member of a yahoo group with 3,080 members. The topic is health issues, but I sent info about this outrage to all of them with just one click. I'll probably have a few lambast me for sending out something not on topic.....but oh well. Just trying to reach the masses.

Squire your email that you sent is excellent.

Please research and provide the email address of the President and Chairman of the Board of the company that owns the Absolut label!!
