Absolut stupidity

Absolut apologizes for Mexican vodka ad, though I can't really figure out why.

The ad said "In an Absolut World" and showed an old map from the 1830s when most of the Southwest was Mexico. The article says "Mexico still resents losing that territory in the 1848 Mexican-American War and the fight for Texas independence." Really? Maybe. But c'mon, aren't large parts of the South still kinda resentful about that Yankee victory?

There were dozens - DOZENS! - of complaints on, like, a website and stuff. Man, heated. Seriously, who cares. Mexico isn't going to wage a war to take the land back. We're going to keep making bone-headed and offensive comments about it already seeming like they have taken it back.

Stupid.
