Whether accidental or intentional, this ad couldn't have come at a worse time for such a sensitive topic here in the States. The good news is its already been pulled but perhaps a day late and a buck short as the media gobbles this up.

While we're on the topic, I'd be curious to hear opinions about sealing the borders against illegal immigrants...something that none of the candidates really care to get serious about and that i'm under the impression that most americans want.

wait a minute, I'm going to be in "Texas" this summer!:mad:

I bet the Americans really regret not sealing the borders back when the founding fathers were immigrating :p

Yes, god forbid that adverts poke fun at something the majority hold as a standard.

An Absolut ad?

Really?

Don't you have better things to do with your day than shriek about whatever trivial slight the world throws at your politics? Have you no decency, sir, at long last?

Save us from the immigrants!!

If only the native americans, who were immigrants themselves at one time, had put up a bunch of fences to keep the dirty europeans out.

Hey man, just ask if you need that problem solved. Finaly. We germans have some great expertise in that, happy to share.

In other news, you can get insanely drunk without being sick with Moscow Mule.

I hear Pernot-Ricard is taking over Absolut, they would totally have redrawn a chunk of that map as French Louisiana as it was :p

Only the imbecilic racists.

How do you seal a border anyway? Do they make draught excluders that size?

Yeah, because sovereignty is clearly just about xenophobia.

Unless we are talking about Mexico, who we in the US are giving (http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2007/oct/93817.htm) 1.4 billion US to aid in a bid to protect their southern border, rather than ours.
