-An Absolut Disaster of an Ad?

by Dr. D ~ April 8th, 2008

In an advertising campaign hoping to reach Latinos in the USA, Absolut Vodka has reached new heights and become the new standard for failed ad disasters. What were these folks thinking of anyway!

The Absolut ad geniuses have placed their product smack dab in the midst of the illegal immigration controversy and seemingly joined in with the radical ‘Reconquistas’ who are calling for Latinos to take back the Southwest for Mexico.

Then to add to it all, their apologies were less than genuine and have left most business observers shaking their heads in total disbelief. One thing for sure, I won’t be drinking any Absolut anytime soon! *Top
