An 'Absolut' world?

Saintman draws a very apt comparison. How many people angry with this add would love seeing one with a map of the Confederacy instead?

I agree the add was in poor taste, but the backlash Absolut is recieving over it is just downright rediculous. Would any of you be just as angry if they released an add here in the States showing us owning both Canada and Mexico? Both scenarios are plausible given different outcomes in our nation's history. (Benedict Arnold not turning traitor and Congress voting to occupy all of Mexico after the war) Ask yourself, would you be angry if you saw that add? If not, then you cannot be angry to see this one.
