Ok guys, Reality Check: it's just an ad, if it was a Budweiser ad showing us carving up Canada, do you think Canadians would boycott the company.............no.


canadians boycotting a beer company? lol yer right, wouldnt happen
unless they want to claim they'd boycott a US beer company, but that would change once canada is officially the 51st state

to our canadian brethren, this is just a joke.

Just do a search on +absolute +mexico +ad...
You will the many people that are weighing in on the absolut ad story, and many are quite enraged over it.

The US at this time is engaged in war in Iraq (that most feel should be over), weak (to say the least) economy and many other issues nagging at people emotions 9and pocketbooks). This is hardly a time for an ad such as that, or maybe it was done deliberately...?

The ad is a spin off of a report by a "Dr. Charles A. Truxillo" and a paper he wrote several years ago titled “The Inevitability of a Mexicano Nation in the American Southwest and Northern Mexico”Link to Abstract
In short he says due to Washington being so far removed and uncaring about the Western US and Mexico's Gov. not caring about Northern Mexico that it would be a natural progression if the two breakaway and combine to become a new country...

Perhaps the ads MAIN purpose is to EVOKE these emotions??
To rile up an already jittery nation and to reinvigorate Mexican emotions at the same time? Just a thought.

" ... or maybe it was done deliberately...?"

Lol, that was my thought, that this is just another step in the path to outrage Americans (or perhaps everyone in general). I have been drafting a thread about that very subject. (I am indecisive about posting it because sometimes reception becomes problematic). The PTB using methods such as these to fracture different parts of society. This particular situation seems to fall right in line. Build the angst so that the people rebel. The pressure is increasing in intensity and frequency, imho.

Haha never thought of that.

When China took control of Hong Kong in 2000 (1999), even thought China and Hong Kong (which was originally leased to the UK) were the same country, China still maintained a border from Mainland China.

This was due to the wage disparity that still existed between Hong Kong (high wage relatively) and mainland (low wage).

It's interesting.
