Global liquor conglomerates, take note: a hastily constructed website is calling for a boycott of Absolut. Run a humorous ad in Mexico and face financial ruin, Pernod Ricard corporation! "Absolut vodka is trying to sell liquor to Mexicans that aspire to control the Southwest United States," reveals boycott organizer William "Yosemite" Gheen. Now if he can only get Matt Sanchez on his side...Despite its insistence on spelling the company's name "Absolute," the website has already attracted more than 120 visits and nearly 7 comments. But its visual and documentary evidence of the brewing Mexican separatist movement that threatens American freedom may be its most powerful tool:

So how many Ameros will it cost?
Pretty sure these people were drinking Night Train anyway.
That's "Mexicans who aspire."
You don't want Matt Sanchez on your side. You want Matt Sanchez on top.
@TheHonJudgeSmails: I was thinking more along hte lines of pruno.
It'll really take off after Lou Dobbs' show this afternoon. He was running short on new lunacy.
Oh, shut your pie hole.
I would join if we could boycott a liquor out my price range. As soon as they start boycotting 25 year old scotch I am so in!
Does this mean, that in this election that there will be people who threaten to move to Mexico if John McCain wins the election?
@EDogII: i've always been rath3er fond of, "...blithering gob (you tit)!"
Right, because all those people who risked life and limb to sneak into the United States actually want to turn their new home into the exact same thing that they fled from.
I'd like to boycott Absolut because they only ever offer their "flavored" varieties at open bars. Yick!
We really don't need to worry about the 'Mexican Separatist Movement'...we all know they're too sleepy to get anything done, anyway.
Do you want your children to eat rich huevos and carnitas at every meal? I didn't think so.
In Mexico vodka drinks you.
@Knucklehead Babylon: What are rich huevos and are they attached to carlos slim?
Behold, the power of potato juice.
@digitalsmoothie: Keep sleeping yourself. They're covertly running this country by filling all the crappy jobs we spoiled Americans are too high and mighty for. Mexicans have a work ethic like no other, we'd be screwed without them.
What's with the chubby Latinas in the left foreground of that picture?
Chubby Latinas need a vodka brand/Aztlan homeland/lovin', too.
As a Mexican (who has only been to Tiajuana, so I really don't count), I say FUCK YOU to all the Americans who think that only people in the U.S. can have national pride.
@contradicto: Where does your TiaJuana live?
@luciluce666: I'll assume you missed the episode of South Park that featured the Museum of Racial Stereotypes?
@contradicto: Dude, we celebrate cinco de mayo like crazy watchu talkin' bout willis?
Should read:
Inane Absolut World
Er, isn't that roughly what Mexico's borders were pre-Mexican-American War?
I an Absolute world Spain would still own Mexico and the Nazis would control Sweden.
I say we show them a thing or two by grabbing every bottle of Absolut we can find and drinking it dry so those Southwest-stealing Mexicans can't get any vodka. That'll show the bastards.
Nevermind--I see from the earlier post that at least we non-Minutemen, edumacated East Coast elites knew that about the map (pre-Mexican-American War borders, etc.). Carry on with the sombrero and burro jokes.
This is all very silly and doesn't make sense to me either way (like what does vodka have to do with Mexico?) but it does make me want a taco and a marg like whoa.
Dear William "Cracker-Asswipe" Gheen:
In your honour I am switching from the Svedka cheap stuff I normally use to fuel my 24/7 vodka-drip, and am forthwith purchasing a case of Absolut.
How dare they steal the land that we stole from them! Although we both have to look out for that Skyy Vodka ad targeted towards Native Americans.
@Doolittle: In Scranton.
@Cheap Shot: So do I. I love me some Negra Modelo. Like I said, I really don't count.
I don't know why this hubbub irks, but it does. I'll just go back to making fun of day laborers now.
@digitalsmoothie: That's funny. I just screamed at Juanita to get a "Mexican separatist movement" going in the laundry room. Those whites aren't going to bleach themsevles!
@digitalsmoothie: Yeah, I don't have TV. I was hoping you were being scarcastic, sometimes it does'nt translate as well in text.
Terrorism comes in a vodka bottle: that's the only possible conclusion.
As long as college students have access to highlighters Absolut will be alright.
Hmmmm....my two favorite things drinking and pissing off rednecks. I'm in on the boycott of the boycott of Absolut.
