ABSOLUT CRAP

[LorDiego01]

The billboard and press campaign, created by advertising agency Teran\TBWA and now running in Mexico, is a colorful map depicting what the Americas might look like in an "Absolut" -- i.e., perfect -- world.

Now that gives me one very good reason never to drink that disgusting liquid filth again.

Besides, real men drink Whiskey.

LD,

I agree. I used to be a Stoli guy anyway.

Now it's just a rare Wild Turkey.

That's very interesting. I work daily with a substantial number of Swedish people and based on my years of experience with them, I have found that the people as a whole are ridiculously polite and non-confrontational almost to a fault. It's hard to believe they would authorize such a controversial advertisement, even if it was only used in a Mexican market.

That being said, I had a shot of Absolute Peppar on Friday. It was really pretty good.

oh quit gettin your panties up in a bunch - it's only advertising.......

I don't get it, it doesn't sound like a smart advertisement.

I would think they would be smart enough to realize that that kinda advertisement would make it way into the US, and US citizens probably wouldn't be too happy to see it.

Indulging in infantile politics is never something that should be encouraged.

H2O for me.
