    I was in Mexico City a month ago for school and we had a lecture from an expert in free trade agreements at Tecnologico de Monterrey. She said she believed the signing of NAFTA will be seen in the future as the first step in the eventual annexation of Mexico into the US. For a Mexican audience, I'm sure that would have been scandalous to say, but we weren't Mexicans so we didn't make a big deal out of it.

    Absolut isn't a Mexican company. I came back recently from a week in Mexico City/surrounding area, hardly in "vacation spot" type of places, but that's not what I was there for. I had a really lovely time, and every single person I met was nice. A lot of hard workers making their own satisfying and honest lives. Mexico is cool, friend

    Lets see, marketing types try to find out what their customers like.

    Beer makers show girls in swim suits to american guys.

    Absolut shows mexican guys invading USA.

    Seems about right. The plan is about halfway done.

    Immigrate, breed, vote. BOOM -------->Mexico.

    hhhhmmm
    I dunno . . Mexico is pretty strict on the immigration from their southern
    Border . . .
    So
    I suspect you would just move the problem further south.

    Well the border would be less than half the size it currently is, that might help.

    It looks like the Chinese aren't the only ones sensitive about jokes affecting national pride.

    For real.

    Can dish it out...but can't seem to take it...

    Oh well, go boycott Absolut, whatever floats your boat (because apparantly over the top humour doesn't :p)

    Someone should photoshop a map showing Tibet's old border with China, back when the country controlled a big chunk of it, and see how much humor that gets from the China Supporters here. :p

    TEXAS FOREVER!!!

    In an Absolut World the map would show Taiwan actually being a part of China proper :eek:
