Absolut stupidity

See anything wrong with this map?




Browsing Drudge this morning, I saw a link to this story, which details the Absolut vodka company's current marketing campaign in Mexico involving the above mentioned graphic, which implies that in a perfect world the American Southwest would be Mexican territory .

"Ucedo, who is from Argentina, said: 'Mexicans talk about how the Americans stole their land, so this is their way of reclaiming it. It’s very relevant and the Mexicans will love the idea.'" (Emphasis mine)

By the way, the U.S. acquired that land by treaty with Mexico and paid quite a bit of money for it, so nothing was stolen by anyone, contrary to the propaganda put forth by the La Raza "reconquista" types.

I sure hope Absolut sells a lot of vodka there, to offset the decline in American sales that is sure to result from this asinine ad.

Vodka drinkers, make your choices accordingly.
