Banned Absolut ad

So here’s an ad that ran last month in Mexio, created by Teran/TBWA for Absolut Vodka. The map shows Mexico’s borders before The American-Mexican war of 1846-1848. The war started when Mexico had the cojones to not recognize the U.S. annexation of Texas. “Annex” is a historical term for “we wanted it, so we took it.” It’s been a sore spot with Mexico ever since, as invading someone’s land and claiming it as your own usually tends to be. I think its pretty funny.



Here is an ad that some guy on the internet posted in response to the ad...also very funny!
