Swedish liquormaker Absolut Vodka has

Swedish liquormaker Absolut Vodka has pulled an ad showing a map of North America from before the US stole nearly half of Mexico's land during the Mexican-American War and the Annexation of Texas. The ad only ran South of the border, but it managed to draw the ire of conservatives who watch Mexico's every move because they are scared of brown people. Thank god Absolut didn't dare to make an ad wishing anyone "Happy Holidays," then the right-wing culture warriors really would have been pissed. There's no word on whether or not Bill O'Reilly or Lou Dobbs is trying to start a movement to build a fence between the US and Scandinavia yet, but I'd recommend stocking up on lutefisk and cheap modish furniture just in case.
