In an ABSOLUT WORLD, Mexico would have a thriving free market economy free for political corruption that would allow its citizens to prosper from the fruits fo their own labor and resources. NOT ONE COUNTRY DOMINATING THE OTHER. Mexico has great things to offer the rest of the world. Let everyone in their country benefit from free and open markets and corruption free Government.

There would be no need for a fence because people would be free to pursue their own prosperity locally and not feel forced to cross the border merely to survive and thrive.

Tourist, goods and services would flow freely across a secure and supervised border, Coruption and lawlessness would be punished on bothsides of the border equally to protect the common intersts and goodwill of both countries. We would work closely with each other to secure our hemisphere and protect each other from terrorist attack.

Then it would be true that what is good for Mexico is good for the United States and what is good for the United States is good for Mexico.

This is not a wish to dominate or control. Only a wish to prosper together for the benefit of both our population.

Boycott WHO? Vin and Spirit was owned by the Swedish Government who just sold it to Pernod Ricard SA. Pernod Ricard SA probably had nothing to do with this advertizment.

Someone should be called accountable for this outrage.

The V&S Group has absolute power -- make that Absolut power. The company is Sweden's top supplier of wine and spirits, but it is best known for its Absolut vodka, which is sold in more than 125 markets (and accounts for more than half of all imported vodka sales in the US). It is comprised of three business areas: V&S Absolut Spirits, V&S Distillers, and V&S Wine. V&S has joined Maxxium Worldwide, an international spirits distribution consortium, for distribution outside the Nordic countries and the US. In 2008 the company was autioned off to Pernod Ricard. Effective March 31, 2008.

Pernod Ricard SA, together with its subsidiaries, engages in the production, distribution, sale of spirits and wines in France and internationally. It offers whiskies, liqueurs, champagne, cognacs and brandies, white spirits and rums, bitters, and wines. The company sells its products under Ricard, Ballantine’s, Chivas Regal, Kahlua, Malibu, Beefeater, Havana Club, Martell, The Glenlivet, Jacob’s Creek, Montana, Mumm, Perrier-Jouet, Seagram’s gin, 100 Pipers, Amaro Ramazzoti, Clan Campbell, Imperial, Pastis 51, Ararat, Wild Turkey, Royal Salute, Tia Maria, Suze, Royal Stag, Ruavieja, Wyndham Estate, Powers, Campo Viejo, Hiram Walker, Passport, Becherovka, Don Pedro, Olmeca, Aberlour, Wisers, Montilla, Presidente, Soho/Dita, Pernod, Wyborowa, and Something special brand names. The company was founded in 1975 and is based in Paris, France.

After all, are you a serious drinker or a serious United States Citizen?

Be clear that this has nothing to do with Mexico or the Mexican People. This is a misguided advertisment and whoever is responsible for it deserves to suffer a big loss in revenue and market share for attempting to play to the misguided.

It's funny, OK? :)

As they say, bad press is better than no press at all, too!

If I am not wrong, Mexico has a "free" trade agreement with U.S.A. & Canada for more than 7 years. Somehow while goods can come & go, people can't (of course there are exceptions) legally. Do you know who are that Corrupt Mexican Elite, that prevents it's "own citizens to prosper from the fruits of their own labor"'s best patners, if not outright bosses? Do you know which corporation was Mr Fox, the previous Mexican president fromer employers? Have you heard of the "Maquiladoras"? Have you heard the words "labor division" Did you know this country already signed "free trade" pacts with most Central American Nations? Do you know where the term "Banana Republic" comes from?
Have you heard the word "Bantustan"? Do you know how "aparthaid" worked in South Africa? Most people of color belonged to those funny fake republics, created in the most barren and poor parts inside South Africa, as soon as they crosed the borders(that was their only real choice) to work the mines, or the farms or as domestic servants or whatever, they were foreigns aliens (not necesarily illegals), with no rights whatsoever. One of the first measures after Aparthaid was to end those Bantustans.
Maybe that's the way things are supposed to be in North America.
Without an extremely corrupt and violent to it's own people elite in Mexico, and that fear and racist based antiinmigration propaganda in U.S.A., there wouldn't be enough and justifiable cheap labor inside NAFTA.
Maybe Canada's and U.S.A.'s elites are corrupt too?
Have you heard of laws banning Spanish in many U.S. states, after being "freed" from the mexican "opressor"? I thing there were called "the silent years" or something like that.
Interesting what an ad can start.
