The map makes the U.S. look like a pistol! We need to put more of those pistols on our side of the boarder.

This ad is not listed with their history of ads.

Their entire history of ads is listed there and it isn't one. They have nothing under ‘new ads’ as well. Why do I have a feeling a lot of folks got Punked?

Amazing that you all are "threatened" by a vodka ad, that basically states in a drunken dream(by drinking Absolut) that pre-American-Mexican war borders would be reinstated.

Absolut played you all(reactionaries) like a violin and is getting tons of free publicity(there is no such thing as bad publicity)from a small and reletively cheap ad.

Brilliant on their part. Gasbags Hannity and Beck will be giving Absolut tons of free publicity over this.

Saw it, all the articles seem circular, the magazine they reference doesn't have anything.. Absolute doesn't have anything in their list of ads, current or history, and there are no news articles on this campaign in AEC Daily which tracks advertising campaigns (Absolute is commonly followed by them.)

This wouldn't be the first time a hoax spread over the net quickly and was taken for real...

That is very easy to do to those on the far right wing. They react and do not think.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that.. I just know how many scams are on the internet and how many of these types of things people have fell for, I never, ever take anything at face value any more until I know for sure..

Not saying it is or isn't a hoax, saying it could be until we know for sure.

I, for one, don't want any more medals in the knee jerk Olympics.

I have to admit, that I am having fun with the people who have a psyche that a vodka ad, which basically states that in a drunken dream world(i.e drinking Absolut vodka) the focus of the ad would happen, is a danger to the Republic.

I'm looking back at it and, frankly I don't see what others are.. what I see is an ad saying things change. IE, two centuries ago, this is what the map looked like, the world is not absolute.
