Absolut riles Americans drunk on nationalism

The nation’s bloggers and some other easily offended people with access to computers recently picked up on an advertisement for Absolut brand vodka that ran outside the United States; for the Pat Buchanans of the world, it seemed to heighten the menace posed by America’s greatest military threat: Mexico.

The advertisement depicted a map of the Mexican border extending to the Pacific Northwest and through the Southwest, with the words “In An Absolut World” running across it. Maybe if the company had put the words in Spanish, no one would have caught on.”*
