The Absolut Reconquista Ad

I contemplated a variety of titles for this column. Absolut Disgrace. Absolut Bull. Absolut Aztlan. Absolut Outrage. Absolute Boycott. Absolute Embarassment. Absolut Debacle.

Aside from boycotting Yuksolut, I would like to see everybody smash all their bottles on the street and a news camera filming it all.

You know just having this on MSM and Fox News tell you the fire storm they are receiving. The outgoing message at the headquarters is telling you that they are unindated with calls and are very aware of problem they have caused themselves.

Hey Chosen, I think this is something you spoke of, that the advertising company will be hit hard on this one too.


"In an Absolut world, a company that produces vodka fires its entire marketing department in a desperate attempt to win back enraged North American customers after a disastrous ad campaign backfires," a person using the moniker "SalsaNChips" wrote on Malkin's Web site.
