The Yanks are up in arms...


...about this ad that is running in Mexico.
The map shows the US/Mexico border before the 1848 war, when Mexico gave up Cali, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico.
People are screaming 'boycott' left right and centre, citing Germany Anschluss references and insensitivity to the small but very real Mexican 'reconquista' movement that wants to get this land back.
What do you think? Over-reaction or bad taste on Absolut's part?

Most importantly, how many more people will be buying absolut vodka or not buying it in the states??? Bet it raises their profile hugely...
