Please! No, really, it were just a joke. Or art. Or something.
Vodka Maker Apologizes for Ad Depicting Southwest as Part of Mexico
Pussies. Look at this faggotry:
“In no way was it meant to offend or disparage, nor does it advocate an altering of borders, nor does it lend support to any anti-American sentiment, nor does it reflect immigration issues,” Absolut said in a statement left on its consumer inquiry phone line.
[...]
Absolut said the ad was designed for a Mexican audience and intended to recall “a time which the population of Mexico might feel was more ideal.”“As a global company, we recognize that people in different parts of the world may lend different perspectives or interpret our ads in a different way than was intended in that market, and for that we apologize.”
At least, at the absolute minimum, stand by your earlier randomoid markitechture blatherings, that it’s just an ad meant to sell Swedish vodka to Mexicans, instead of apologizing to hepped-up Americans. Which I guess this kind of does, in an extremely Eddie Haskell way. Nobody knows who Eddie Haskell is, so I think I can get away with this ridiculous analogy, Mr. Cleaver.
As just one dumb Texan, I will say this: “Piss on all yall.”

Sorry, Jane, but you’re going to have to find another continent for an empire. We got this one.
