I JUST GOT THIS EMAIL FROM PERNOD RICARD - ABSOLUT
I just received this email response from Pernod Ricarad, the French Company that will be acquiring Absolut:
Dear xxxxx,
We, as Pernod Ricard, were also shocked and have immediatly asked V&S to stop this ad although we are still not owners ....
We will only be officially in charge after the closing, some time during next summer ...
But I hope V&S has followed our instructions and removed this shocking ad ...

Good for Pernod! I still say we boycott Absolut & co-brands as long as V&S are their owners. Let their stock take a beating!

The change of ownership does present a rather strange and ironic twist to all this...
I think in terms of chasing the 'chain of responsibility' that proportionate blame should flow as follows:
1. Local Ad group in Mexico City (GrupoGallegos?, right?)
2. V&S Corporate in Sweden
:
Pernod Ricard - Actually, since there are lots of bureaucratic hurdles in multinational business transactions (and a big time lag as a necessary result), they have essentially 0 responsibility in this. If anything, they probably want to show that they are doing the 'right thing' and to distance themselves from V&S and the local Mexico group as much as possible.
IMHO - Punish V&S and the Mexico-based distributors/advertisers, but don't boycott once Pernod Ricard completes the transaction (assuming, of course, they show a pattern of trying to correct these problems as timely and as constructively as is possible).Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

I agree. But they boycott could sure make the price go down. Is V&S public? If so the stock would plummet.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

Gogo - Don't know about the stock situation (we could look that up in a bit)...but, they were "privately owned" by the Swedish government prior to the sale.
The finalization of the sale will take another 3 months or so at the least, so there is a time window between now and when full control/ownership takes place for Pernod. I think it's great to push the price down in the meantime - if it'll punish V&S and not necessarily hurt Pernod Ricard.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
