Last week in the National Public Radio (NPR) someone gave some numbers to remember. According with reports from the US Immigration Services, there are living in the US about 46 millions of latinoamericans, 32 millions are mexicans (first generation) almost the whole population from Spain, Argentina Central America or any European Union country. From the 32M, 14 millions are illegals. From every 3 births in the US one come from Mexicans who live in the US. So is very interesting how Mexicans are reconquest those territories with not army in a very peacefully way just repopulate it!!!!. Now Mexico-US are writing contemporary history. No borders, no walls can stop it unfortunately for some people. Our culture and traditions are so strong that you can find in every US State and every town. So Absolut just mention something that everyone knows in the South of border and in the rest of the world.

That ad campaign and the reaction to it is a publicity agent's dream- and it just gets better with yahoo rednecks and paranoid wingnuts getting there knickers all in a twist about it. A boycott ? What a joke. What member of this subclass of humans ever sprung for a bottle of vodka in the first place except by accident or desperation? The ad is nothing less than brilliant- not least in the fact that it has, in flash, raised the collective IQ of practically most of the population of the USA in terms of understanding a certain reality American history. That ad will translate into perhaps it's most remarkable boost in name recognition yet- but than again Absolute has always been,for the most part, exceptionally talented concerning publicity.

Give me a break it’s just plain old history just like slavery and the
hundreds Of thousands of native Indians that died on this continent
you can’t deny that that didn’t happen or do we just want to forget
it all like it never happen at all here’s a proud race of people and they
also deserve the right to print any material they want just like we all
have the freedoms given to us by our predecessors

Yours Truly
