That said the marketing at Absolut did a brilliant job, they are getting tons of free publicity, for very little cost.
I wouldn't be surprised if michelle malkin is getting a kickback.
I wouldn’t be surprised if DANE is getting a kickback/sarc.
Yeah, because I enjoy seeing foreign people taking over my country.

Somehow I don't think you got this delusion from anything the owners of the Absolut brand might have said. On the other hand, it is difficult to make a statement as silly as yours while sober.
How in what is holy do YOU know what the ad means? You progressive nut. See I can name call too. How many times are you going to repeat the word reactionary over and over and over. Shows you were uneducated at a University in the USA with the past 40 years. I think I will move to Mexico and buy some property and see if I can become a citizen of that country. I doubt it. Double standard anyone.
You open-borders theology is increasingly mired in hatred for America.
The ad is NOT "in English". The legally trademarked advertising slogn "IN AN ABSOLUT WORLD" remains in English for the sole reason that it IS, in fact, a legally trademarked phrase, like McDonald's "I'm lovin' it". The singular difference being that Absolut has not chosen to trademark the phrase in any language other than English, whereas McDonald's has trademarked their ad slogan in several languages.
Other than that trademarked slogan, the remainder of the text appearing in the ad is "en Español".
As for your deep "interpretation" that the ad intends to convey the idea that what is dipicted will ONLY happen in an alcoholic stupor induced dream...you REALLY have to read into it quite a bit to get that back out. That interpretation is most certainly not "up front", nor is it at all the FIRST, most obvious message being communictaed. As such, I HIGHLY DOUBT that your interpretation is even remotely near the intended message.
The man on the street will read it as it is intended to be read -- in PLAIN language. Mahogany Row doesn't target philosophers in the halls of academia, their ads are directed at the plain-speaking midsection of the population; at those who take plain words in their plain sense. And when this ad is read in plain language the VERY OBVIOUS meaning is "This is how the map would look if the world were as perfect as our product".
IOW, "Since we believe our product is excellent, we also believe that this map represents an excellent reality."
Or again, "If we had it our way, which we believe to be the BEST way, everyone would drink ABSOLUT when they drink vodka, and the map would look like this."
Your dogged insistence that the ad NOT be construed in any of those very literal ways, arises from the same alternate universe that has a whole slew of people amongst the global population continuing to disbelieve that radical Islamists fully intend to do the things they say they want to do -- like kill infidels -- despite the fact that radical Islamists continue to DO exactly what they say they want to do. This flock of fingers-embedded-in-ears naysayers watch the terrorist lips move as the words come out, then give apology for them saying things like, "Well, they're just disgruntled; they don't really mean that's what they will actually do. We just need to sit down with them and talk this whole thing out. A little smokin' of the peace pie and chillin' together with some downtempo, and it'll all be cool, man."
Yeah. Right.
As if the stacked bodies of the victims of these wahabbi freaks don't all but SCREAM, "Screw you, and your talk, you infidel dog!"
This idea that the American southwest ought to be part of Mexico is held by a minority, but they are an increasing number, they are increasingly militant, and they are frequently tied into armed, violent gangs running drugs and human cargo across our borders. Among their ranks, this is not a dream to be realized only in an alcoholic stupor, it is a great and noble goal. THEY are deadly serious about it, and if they are not met with a commensurate response, while they will not realize their grand goal at once, they will continue to make incremental progresss toward it, and THAT cannot be allowed to happen. So, we MUST respond, and our response ust be firm and vigorous, so that OUR clear message will be, "ABSOLUT-ly NOT at any future date. EVER."
Our goal MUST BE to ensure that there never emerges even the faintest whisp of a possibility that their goal could even begin to be realized -- on any level.
YOUR goal, however, seems to be to aid them in their goal by throwing up this smokescreen, "Oh, don't get all worked up; they don't REALLY mean that," when they, most manifestly, DO mean exactly that. All you succeed in doing is playing the traitor, and giving cover for true enemies of the United States.
As I read you, though, that isn't a fringe group that it is your purpose to side with. So do make greater effort NOT to side with them by accident, either.
