An ABSOLUT World DOMS would love..
Mexico reconquers California? Absolut drinks to that!
The latest advertising campaign in Mexico from Swedish vodka maker Absolut promises to push all the right buttons south of the U.S. border, but it could ruffle a few feathers in El Norte.
The billboard and press campaign, created by advertising agency Teran\TBWA and now running in Mexico, is a colorful map depicting what the Americas might look like in an "Absolut" -- i.e., perfect -- world.
The U.S.-Mexico border lies where it was before the Mexican-American war of 1848 when California, as we now know it, was Mexican territory and known as Alta California.
Following the war, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo saw the Mexican territories of Alta California and Santa Fé de Nuevo México ceded to the United States to become modern-day California, Texas, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado and Arizona. (Texas actually split from Mexico several years earlier to form a breakaway republic, and was voluntarily annexed by the United States in 1846.)
The campaign taps into the national pride of Mexicans, according to Favio Ucedo, creative director of leading Latino advertising agency Grupo Gallegos in the U.S., which was not involved in the Absolut campaign.
Ucedo, who is from Argentina, said: “Mexicans talk about how the Americans stole their land, so this is their way of reclaiming it. It’s very relevant and the Mexicans will love the idea.”
But he said that were the campaign to run in the United States, it might fall flat.
“Many people aren’t going to understand it here. Americans in the East and the North or in the center of the county -- I don’t know if they know much about the history.
“Probably Americans in Texas and California understand perfectly and I don’t know how they’d take it.”
Meanwhile, the campaign has been circulating on the blogs and generating strong responses from people north of the border.

Holy shit. I can't believe it. I absolutely agree with kbm.
No good will come of this, I tell you!So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

Absolut is overrated, IMO.
The brand focuses on being "smooth" in taste, compared to other Vodkas.
As for the territory the Mexicans lost: they lost it.
The Mexicans stole their land, like the Anglos in the USA, and the Mexicans could not defend it.
The Anglos are much better at organization, also.

You'd think most of those places were Mexico today anyway with all of their people infesting them....
And anyway how is winning a war and claiming conquered lands stealing? What they are doing now is stealing, squatting and invading illegally is stealing plain and simple.......Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

Because he didn't have insurance. The information I got from the police doesn't add up. Nobody by his name lives at the address he gave.He's an illegal. Originally Posted by min0 lee

No shit. Houston is a santuary(spelling)city. They look the other way. I was pissed the police told me to calm down or they would take me down. It's all bullshit. They wrote him 2 tickets not even one for failure to yield the right of way. Do you think they will get paid? Originally Posted by min0 lee

Haha...I agree. I think the company should market the vodka in the UK featuring an "Absolut" world when the sun never set on the British Empire. Originally Posted by Gazhole

"Gang capital of the world"? What a load of shit. Gang capital of the US maybe, but certainly not the world. Talk about base sensationalism.
So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
