    Lame. I also contest their northern boarder. They appear to have it just about in the middle of Oregon, not the Oregon/Cali boarder.

    If that's the case, then we should be making a play for Canada on what I ingest alone...

    I don't have any problem with the ad. It's kinda funny/clever for its target audience.

    If you're offended by this ad, get over it. It's just a silly advertisement. Yes, a bit needlessly divisive or controversial, but really not anything to lose sleep over.

    Sometimes the most controversial marketing pieces are the best way as it generates a lot of attention.

    sometimes but you gotta think of it this way as well, Absolut is having to pay for space (aka Space brokers) in magazines, newspapers, billboards for their ads to be processed, now if they get those ads pulled out of each media they put them in, they just lost a crap load of money. thats money that could have better been spent.

    they might not loose money from consumers, but their ad campaign lost its own money.
