A new ad for Absolut vodka reconfigures North America according to the aspirations of many Mexicans, who believe the U.S. Southwest was stolen and should be returned.

Over a redrawn map of the U.S., the ad by the Swedish Absolut Spirits Co. declares, “In an Absolut World,” noted

wasn´t the whole America stolen from the native Americans ?

Pretty much every piece of land on earth was stolen by people that were not native at some point.

Pointless really unless Hawaii is annexed into Louisiana.

If that happens, you can all come up to Canada and we will change our goverment

La times reports 2000 emails a hour since the add was printed.

Somehow I think Absolut is going to regret this ad.

Relax, maybe they are trying to sell their vodka to the Mexicans.

The natives never claimed ownership of the land and were not able to protect it from the invaders from Europe.
