Absolute Aztlan A-holes

Posted 04 Apr 2008 in illegal immigration, outrage

Michelle Malkin broke this story yesterday and has a good update, including info on the ad agency that created the Absolut Reconquista ad as well as a lot of pithy reader feedback that was sent to Absolut’s press person Jeffrey Moran – and his spineless responses.

I can’t fathom what these saboteurs are thinking. Why should we give American soil to Mexico? We bought it fair and square, so stop whining. Sí usted puede.

  • The Republic of Texas voted to be annexed by the United States in 1836 and was granted statehood in 1845.

  • In the Mexican Cession of 1848, Mexico sold to America (for $15 million) parts of what is now Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and Wyoming, and the all of California, Nevada and Utah.

  • In the Gadsden Purchase of 1853, America purchased land along the U.S.-Mexico border (what is now New Mexico and Arizona) for $10 million.

Plus, Mexico does such a bang-up job with the land they have now, how well do you think they’d handle our southwestern states were they to reacquire them?

UPDATE: Following Absolut’s “logic” to it’s illogical conclusion, The Nose On Your Face came up with the rest of their Imperialism ad campaign.

UPDATE: Looks like there’s been enough outcry and loss of business; Absolut has issued a “genuine and sincere apology” as a sort of tourniquet.
