Some don't believe that all that land was required legally? How about anyone who's ever read a real book about that acquisition. That's definitely some. Man, this was a great ad, but it doesn't influence whether I'll be sponsoring Absolut.

Yeah, Jose; this does seem like one of those "News Flash: Water Is Wet" moments, doesn't it?

The U.S. cannot be trusted with a treaty of any sort, honestly.

In a world ruled by imperialism, I find this ad funny. None of our land was acquired legally! Even as an Aztlanista, I don't agree with Olin Tezcatlipoca, Director of the Mexica Movement web site. on a lot of things. Yes, most of his stuff is to radical even for me. And when has the US ever honored it's own treaties?

I cannot believe how liltle Americans actually know about the Mexican-American War.

How about some discussion?

How To Solve Illegal Immigration - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nN1kp1ggWyM

I made it through quite a few of the thread comments yesterday before maxing out my tolerance level. I kept reading, expecting "maybe the next one?" would advocate declaring Sweden a rogue nation, bent on spreading terrorism and fomenting revolution in the western hemisphere, thereby justifying the dropping of tactical nukes on both Sweden and the homeland of Absolut's corporate parent, Germany. I was disappointed, and gave up reading, therefore proving by default only, that maybe there is a limit to the level of stupidity expressed. But my scientific method had its flaws, so my search for that lower limit continues.

Random thought: How does a country "acquire land legally"? Has it ever been done? I am skeptical ... unless you consider, as most governments have throughout history, the spoils of war to be legitimated by the fact of conquest. I don't.

I don't know where else to put this but look at what I just found http://stufflatinpeoplelike.wordpress.com/. What do you guys think?

yave, once you even think of "owning the earth" it begins to break down, eh? we just take it for granted that its a right for us to make earth property in such ways as so many continually die or starve over the enforced "possession."

i have a slightly different take on this ad, maybe. thanks for posting, carmz. i may try to hit it myself soon.

Hey Nez, I look forward to reading your take on this ad. Thank you for sharing your spot with me. I've been out in the sunshine most of the day and am heading out again so mostly, I am just enjoying the conversation here. The only thing I didn't hit on was that this ad IMHO demonstrates just how corporations are so far ahead of "citizens" in blowing out the notion of borders! Euro's, pesos, dinars, dollars, pounds it's all the same to them.

@ la Molina...thank you for that YouTube!!! I am now a "The Pinky Show" subscriber.

Just goes to show why there is usually no truth in advertising. Too dangerous.

The ad is great, but we have to remember that if you speak English or Spanish, you are living on stolen land

Bring on the race war, I see...

Race War? I'm curious about what you mean by "race war"?

Don't you mean the Indigenous reclaiming their own home continent? Perhaps someday Indian casino money will buy up all the media corporations (including Fox) and start broadcasting an indigenous agenda. That way it will be bloodless.

I speak English, but since I am indigenous, I am living on my own land!

the best thing about knowing English is being able to curse the bastards in their own language.

Excuse me, it's time to drill my leftist militia in the hills of North L. A. County.

Lo unico que se es que esta genia esa publicacion... muchas felicidades a Absolut!!!! como se dice... alguna vez perdimos ese territorio, pero algun dia con la migracion lo recuperaremos!

Viva México!!!!!!!!!!!

Me quedo conforme si vendemos a Tejas a Rusia. El resto hará una buena harmonación con La Unión Americana.
