And if it is up on billboards in Mexico, why is it written in English?
LOL
The last time I saw that billboard it said “Women Kneeded”.
It could very well just be a publicity ploy, but an ill conceived one if so. Think about all the rumors surrounding corporations today, Starbucks won’t support the troops, Proctor and Gamble is owned by Satanists, Tommy Hilfeger doesn’t want his clothes worn by minorities. And now, Absolut Vodka.......
It’s a pretty stupid thing, either way.
So much for buying their product.
btttt
According to Dane, this should work in Absolut's favor. This is true because "any publicity is good publicity."
Just ask The Dixie Chicks. Right Dane?
Thanks for posting the email addresses. I gave them my angry thoughts on the matter.
“According to Dane, this should work in Absolut’s favor.”
It works well. Can’t wait to see the Jameson’s ad with a map of Ireland overlaid with the Union Jack. If I had photoshop skills I would make it myself.
Absolut is also a GLAAD Sponsor
“The GLAAD Media Awards receive more support from corporations and foundations than any other event in the lesbian and gay community.”

I may have jumped the gun along with a lot of others. I could swear I saw it on a reputable website as well but we shall see.
Well, it was true after all so I guess I am absolutely off the Absolut.
