This ad is currently running Mexico allegedly to tap into “Mexican National pride”. Absolut Vodka is now owned by Pernod of France. Can you say BOYCOTT? This might be some ad executive’s view of a perfect world and I am sure it is some liberals but IT AINT MINE AND NEVER WILL BE…REMEMBER THE ALAMO!!

From the MexicoReporter:

The latest advertising campaign by Absolut Vodka for Mexico, created by Teran|TBWA, returns the lay of the land in the Americas to what it once was. The map depicts the whole of California as still part of Mexican territory, sporting its former name of Alta California – higher California.

[...]

Mexico lost control of the territory as a result of the Mexican-American War.

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
