Thread: Fast Info Gathering help needed for absolut boycott

Friends,

We are working on the new boycott website and we need help.

One, we need a list of all absolut products by name.

Two, we need a collection of pictures, videos, articles, protest signs, etc... That convey the point that many Mexicans aspire to control the SW us again.

Please post here

I think it may be beneficial to get a list of all of Pernod Ricard's products as he has recently purchased the Absolut distillery.

Can't seem to find a complete list of products for Absolut yet....still digging

Vin & Sprit AB is a wholly owned entity of the government of Sweden.

V&S Group is divided into three main areas:

* V&S Absolut Spirits handles Absolut Vodka and the other international spirits brands, such as Level Vodka, Frïs Vodka, Plymouth Gin, and Cruzan Rum.
* V&S Distillers handles spirits on the Northern and Central European markets.
* V&S Wine handles wines and fortified wines in the Nordic region.

Distribution in the Nordic area is primarily handled through the group's distribution centers in Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. V&S Group is represented by the subsidiary V&S Norway in Norway, by V&S Eesti in Estonia, and by the company V&S Luksusowa Zielona Góra in Poland. In the United States, distribution is handled by Future Brands, of which the group owns a 49% share. In most other regions of the world, distribution is handled by Maxxium, also partly owned by the group.

Geographically, North America is the group's single biggest market, accounting for 43% of total sales in 2007.

Looks like Pernod Ricard SA of France is buying V&S. So we may also need to boycott the products that Pernod Ricard SA sell.

Fortune Brands will be compensated with interest payments pending transfer of the brand.

Let's not forget the two funny guys who created this insult, Grupo Gallegos with Creative Director Favio Ucedo, and President and CEO John Gallegos.

Someone.....don't forget the video of the Mexican Consulate employee stating that CA was Mexico and will be again!!

Neil Cavutto just reported on this and had on the show..it was a great segment, did anyone else see it? I think Neil was shocked at the gall.

They said this just insites illegals and the special interest groups like LaRaza and LULAC who believe they have a right to the So. West.

They are calling for a boycott and the fireing of the person who did this in Sweden...Mexico is pissed about the boycott I have a feeling this thing is going to grow by leaps and bounds.
