I wonder if they have a Canadian version with a chunk of Washington missing.

Or a Russian version with Alaska missing.

ABSOLUT BOYCOTT

[stan_sipple]

by the time we get to President Bush version IV or V that will be a map of the United States

[britt reed]

Speaking of "what ifs" and other flights of fancy:

1. Manifest Destiny WAS quite possibly the sanest American policy that was every stopped.

2. While reading reading about American Revolutionary Colonies vs "Canada" warfare, it seems the Nova Scotians were actually prepared to throw their lot in with the Colonists, as opposed to the Quebecers. It wasn't until the Brits started moving American Tories to Nova Scotia during the War that it became impractical. A consequence of that British policy was the 2nd expulsion of the Acadians from Canada.

“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...”

Also what it looks like today.

I think when the dust settles here and Absolut realizes what a major boo they made, there may be some heads rolling, especially if a boycott materializes.

I personally don't drink the stuff, but keep (make that used to keep) a bottle on hand for guests.

I like my bloody mary's on Sundays, but can't see any difference between an $8.00 bottle and a $30.00 bottle after adding all the ingredients.

As an aside, the US is Absolut's biggest customer and it accounts for about 40% of its sales.

Me, I've already send out several emails in protest.

Guess I’ll be drinking Smirnoff this weekend!
