Is anyone actually offended by this advertisement?!

No, not all! Who cares! People get all uptight for the stupid things
Yes!!!!!!!!
Not I. But I'm sure that there are those that would be. Anti South America rhetoric and sentiment is growing in America.
But those that don't like the neighbors to the south are probably the same ones that went down there to act the fool during spring break.
Go figure.
why would you be?
yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How can I be offended? It is a clever way to express a point. I think its kind of funny. Obviously we aren't all going to agree, but I think we all need to lighten up a little. We all have a right to express an idea of an absolute world. I could see some make maps without any borders, and some make maps with motes and barbed wire borders. Its clever...just clever. (Hitlers absolute world would include the whole of Europe...doesn't make it true)
So many people these days are easily offended. They just like pitch a fit and whine. It happens on YA everyday.
No, and people need to get over themselves. It's an ad!!!!!
No, not at all.
Ohh please..
As a writer and PROUD reteller of MY American history, despite its blemishes (which ALL countries have...most other countries have an even worse pile of offenses...) I am NOT offended! And I am almost certain that half the people offended, don't have a clue why! If they are remotely offended it's because of immigration...NOT history. Most of the people in this country wouldn't know a real current event if it tackled them in a parking lot, let alone knowing what the country looked like during the Mexican-American War....geez, if they even know there was one!
I love my country, no matter what kind of map was drawn up! (Besides the ad is aesthetically pleasing and that is what advertizing is all about...)
Good grief! It's just an ad. It may be what Mexico would prefer... to take back a huge chunk of North America, but they're not going to do so. At least not yet. lol
I don't buy Absolut vodka, but not because of the ad. It costs too much. lol
Really, I think some people LOOK for things to be offensive, and then deem them so. I'm guilty of it at times, too, but not this time.
Not offended. I think that a lot of people are way too touchy. We have not had a border conflict with Mexico for a long time and I'm sure that there will not be another one during my lifetime. I think its sad that "The Absolute vodka company apologized for the ad campaign amid angry calls for a boycott by U.S. consumers."
Because I think that the U.S. consumers that were angered are probably more likely to be consumers of southern comfort than of absolute vodka.
I LOVE IT!!!
I work for their competition. There are boycotts here in the U.S. over this....PERFECT!
I couldn't have bought a better situation!
No, seems about right to me. The world would be a better place if things were like that.
No, it's still like that! But I am angry that the US is becoming little Mexico!
It's just an ad campaign.
Who cares, no big deal.
