Americans by nature, are slow to wrath.
We’re generally an easy-going people and esteem the best out of everyone, even madmen that threaten to nuke us. Americans always hope for the best, and try to see the goodness in people, a mentality that Anne Frank wrote in her famous diary in the midst of humanity’s brutality, right before she was taken by force and gassed to death by the Nazis.
Sadly, I fear in this age of Multicultural nonsense, there is very little that can be done to threaten and demean us, since many of our countrymen are joining the thuggish throngs of the world in denouncing ourselves. American presidents are burned in effigy alongside American flags and dummies of marines that are spit on and burned by the anti-war morons in American streets.
But I saw a glimmer of hope this week, as American tempers and blood boiled over with the release of Absolut Vodka’s marketing program in Mexico. The campaign depicts the entire Southwest of America taken over and annexed by Mexico, in solidarity with the Atzlan and Mecha movments for the Reconquinista of the United States. It’s huge hit in Mexico as I’m sure you can imagine, though the Multiculturalists and Mexicans are taken aback by the reaction it’s getting here in the States.
Apparently words and stories by Jihadists about promising America’s coming doom and marches by millions of Illegal Mexican Insurgents making demands are not enough to resonate with most people, but a liquor ad with a simple map puts match to the powder keg.
I guess better late than never.
Absolut vodka ad stirs a U.S.-Mexico debate
Some in the north take offense at the depiction of an old border.MEXICO CITY — The latest advertising campaign in Mexico from Swedish vodka maker Absolut seemed to push all the right buttons south of the U.S. border, but it ruffled a few feathers in El Norte.
As word of the campaign spread across the border, primarily via the Internet, some in the United States began giving the campaign a much more hostile reception.
The colorful ad, created by the Teran\TBWA agency and the vodka maker, is a sight gag depicting what a map of North America might look like “In an Absolut world,” i.e., a perfect one.
Oh yeah?
Well, here’s AMERICA”S Idea of the “Perfect World”, created and submitted by yours truly:
Shove that in your tortillas and smoke it Absolut!

wow, have you ever seen a map of the United States from the 19th century? The map shows the area of land once owned by Mexico/Spain. They actually had no choice but to cede the land to the United States because they could not populate it with citizens who would willingly defend it (it is mostly desert, after all). So what if the advertiser wants to appeal to Mexican pride, you believe in free market capitalism, right? What about when they appeal to American pride? How is it different?

I’m appealing to American pride in my ideas of free market capitalism in the face of agitators and invaders.
Once upon a time, sons of Tennessee decided to make a stand. Only fitting that good old Jack Daniels revive that spirit.

Right, so Absolut, as a private company, is doing its best to make a buck by marketing to a certain demographic’s sense of national history. According to your love of American-style capitalism, how is this so outrageous?
Hey, if Jack Daniels wanted to make that ad, they’d be within their right (though it would no doubt upset some Venezuelans!) Nice Photoshop work, btw

Can we remove the obscene comment photo by VoteNader? Just wondering. I just discovered this blog and really like it. I would like to direct my friends here and maybe even my children. Don’t feel right about it with this photo though.
April 22, 2008 at 4:50 pm
I apologize Kim. I appreciate your concern and am glad this blog can be of service to you and your children.
Unfortunately, this blog has been a target of attacks and filth by those who hate what this blog stands for and says, and I do not have any ability to delete avatars without deleting the posts themselves.
That particular poster now has his replies reviewed before I will allow them to be displayed, and as long as his avatar is offensive, any new posts he makes will not be displayed.
Any pornographic or offensive avatars will result in the entire post being removed and the poster banned from posting here.
Just do understand that those opposed to the truth have no problems with tossing vileness in an attempt to silence the truth from being presented in a public forum.
Considering who that person supports politically, such offensive juvenile garbage can be expected.
It’s who they are.

votenader is correct, the thinking that you are demonstrating is exactly the kind of thinking you are condemning, it’s called hypocrisy.
April 20, 2009 at 10:54 pm
Oh poor americans who think like you, you don’t realise even if your capitalism is spreading all over people worldwide hate you.
By The way, all those states you feel proud of… they have names in Spanish, and they became part of the United States by corruption, war and death like you do all the time. The land of freedom? The land of hope? Europe is a land of freedom and hope. Democracy at the US? Oh god people of this blog you really do live in a big fat lie that your media tells you.. and your presidents and all of your “values” : hate, corruption, no ethics, war (just to remind you, at war people are killed, Jesus would have never approved war..!!!!!), discrimination, nonsense national pride…
sorry if you are offended but it is true, ask anyone in Asia, Europe, Africa, Latin America, Canada, Australia…and the half of your country that doesn’t think like this blog.
In Mexico no one knows about an”aztlan reconquista” they don’t give a damn about the southeastern states of the US, paranoid! it is just an ad, one that represents what would have happened if the US stupid “manifest destiny” or “we want territory” would not have existed at all.
Erase this if you want… the world knows the truth. you are the ones living a lie.

Oh great – the Communists have come out to play.
Chavez has inspired the Marxists to get bold.
We don’t care if the world hates us. We fed the world, clothed the world, rescued it from Nazism and Fascism, are the first there at any natural disaster or famine.
The world may well hate us.
But it hated Christ before us, so we are in good company.
Right. That’s why we have the highest immigration rate – both legal and illegal for the last 100 plus years. Europe is the land of freedom? Is that why everyone from Europe to Mexico comes to set up residence in the States?
Or is it just for the pizza?
True. The media has been lying to Americans for decades. We were never, nor intended to be a Democracy.
Ever.
We were intended to be a Representative Republic – NOT a Democracy.
But of course now – thanks to knuckleheads like yourself who hate this country and can vote – we now have a Fascist Democracy.
Well that just makes you a plain liar now doesn’t it? We’ve seen the websites, marches and protests from Mexican nationals promoting the Atzlan movement of Reconquinista.
And you can rest your sorry arse about American manifest destiny. The folks who are zealous for manifest destiny today, are your local Jihadists – who have much of Europe outbred and ripe for conquest by Islam.

Well, in your defence, I can’t see any sign that show everybody that those territories were from México for 300 yaers. more than 150 years they have belonged to USA.
I don’t believe in open war for land, I believe in God, Our Lord Jesus who pacefully will make justice upon all peoples.
September 21, 2009 at 7:26 pm
That territory was owned by Mexico before USA’s intervention… So Stop saying stupid things you gringos!!! And learn a little bit of History!!!
October 22, 2009 at 10:25 pm
READ A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY BASTARD !!! XD
October 22, 2009 at 10:27 pm
jajajaja sorry..and you will understand the meaning of the ad !! LOL
October 28, 2009 at 2:24 pm

Poor U.S., always been a thief,
“Guns, Drugs and porno” the U.S. dream.
All the world hate U.S.,
November 13, 2009 at 2:55 pm
Ask us if we care whether or not the world hates US.
The world has done NOTHING for US, but we have done everything – including impoverishing ourselves to subsidize the scum of the earth and spilling our own blood to save that same scum from tyrants bent on global conquest.
