Why are Americans all up in arms about the Mexican ad for Absolut? I, for one, understood the nuance in the ad, and rather liked it. Anyone who is pouring their Absolut down the drain needs to grow up; the Swedes are not war mongering, they’re not anti-American. They are hinting at what many Mexican consumers might refer to as golden days of their country’s history.

I’m quite sure that after seeing the ad, Mexican citizens are not going to bomb us to reclaim their territory. I bet many of them smiled — is that what drives Americans up the wall? Why is it that Americans react like children whenever they hear that they’ve been talked about?

I’ll toast the Mexicans and the Swedes later on tonight, with a chilled bottle of Absolut vodka.
