I will not buy any "Absolut" products now or any time in the future. I still remember their ad that depicted the land aquired through the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo as still being part of Mexico "in an Absolute world". As a Latino but American first and only I find it disrespectful and an absolute insult.

True! I think they are trying some damage control. I stopped drinking it or serving it as well. I stick with Grey Goose or Zyr. My boycott may not seem like much to anyone, but as a good Episcopalian (who hosts quite a few events during the year) I can tell you that's more than a few Absolute-Free martinis and Screwdrivers. Whoever signed off on that ad was a total dumb ass.

I think the shrine to Absolute Vodka on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is disgraceful. It says that anyone with enough money can buy a place next to the immortals like John Wayne and Walt Disney. It makes the whole sidewalk look trashy. Leron Gubler, the president of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce should be fired.
