Something else needs to be addressed here.  The silliness of some, especially pundits, about the latest "attack on America" is just foolish.

The new Absolut ad, which shows a majority of the American southwest as a Spanish/Mexican colony:


Funny, right?  Well I guess not.  Everyone's favorite pain in the ass border security and illegal immigration alarmist Lou Dobbs had a field day on this one on his show tonight. Fun as usual, but he missed the joke.  Not only that, he missed the salient point.  The map isn't even right:



The folks at Absolut got a little too zealous in their returning of America to Spain/Mexico.  They forgot about that little thing called the Louisiana Purchase. The cartophile in me is quite bothered by this slip-up.  Close, but no cigar, sorry guys.  Besides, people need to learn how to take a joke, I thought this shit was hilarious. Oh well, maybe next time a clever ad campaign won't cause America to pitch a collective fit. Ugh.



P.S.- It's more fun to say Lou Dobbs the way Bob Dole says his name in the third person. Try it, I defy you not to laugh.  You know how, all one word in monotone. LouDobbs!
