Absolut-ly
3 April 2008
If I understand this correctly, a Swedish vodka advertisement in a Mexican magazine with the text in ENGLISH has Filipina anchor-baby Michelle Malkin’s panties in a twist…
The beverage of open-borders used to be Miller Light. Now, it is Absolut Vodka. The vodka maker’s latest ad redraws the map of North America to please Mexican consumers.
…I hear McCain campaign advisor Juan Hernandez and Hillary campaign advisor Dolores Huerta both approve.
I don’t know her personally, but I don’t think Ms. Huerta is much of a vodka drinker.

This is the Mexican’s Confederate Flag, thier own way of showing thier futile desire to change the past in a war/ideology that were both lost.
Would Absolut Vodka do an ad featuring the Confederate States Battle Jack saying Absolutly Southern? So why try to relive a dream of a large Mexico that could barely populate the Northern half? The same Northern half where the poorest of thier citizens have made a better life for themselves and thier children simply by showing up.
Might as well go back further and call it “New Spain”. Maybe even further than that and just show a map of grossly underdeveloped tribes of the ancient world.
Oh, come on Mr. Rushing. It’s all good fun, just like those “historical” novels of “what if”. I doubt the ad readers believe it can happen.
And your historical analysis? Tsk, tsk, not so good. Go judging past values through the new ones if you like… the newest ones will call you upon it.
I won’t discuss fact and fiction with you any further. It’s clear, from your statements, that you’ve got your observations a little… misshapen.
(Been reading the Mex Files for a while, I love the site! )
The vodka bottle is placed over Belize!
If Absolute had any real guts they would do the Absolut-ly Southern idea. But seriously, Mexico would have been the more dominant country today had Spain just been as tyranical with the new settlements of New Spain as Great Britain had with the origional 13 collonies. Hell they might have even kept Florida.
The old map of Mexico is an idea long lost, Mexico had thier chance and couldn’t overcome thier own corrupt ways.
