Perhaps the decision makers at Absolut they think the best way to promote their products is to insult a good number of Americans. Perhaps they are so stupid that they haven’t bothered to see the trends displayed by other business leaders that have followed the same rose colored path; the decline of the New York Times, Hollywood’s liberal anti-military box office flops, Berkeley’s code pink friendly protests, etc.

How else can we explain the latest in their Absolut World series of asinine ad campaigns. First it was the Mexico reconquista debacle. That resulted in a huge backlash that saw many ill fated attempts to explain, defend and repeatedly apologize for insulting Americans.

Apparently the advertisers are just beginning. Here is their new Gay Marriage initiative, a noted effort that runs counter to the choice of voters across America who stuck down such initiatives in the last U.S. elections.

They also have a global cooling campaign.

Perhaps the people at absolute are too blinded by liberalism to get the point. A good number of Americans don’t give a crap about Absolut’s corporate liberal proclivities and are probably offended by such identity campaigns.

For me they blew it the first time. Absolut isn’t any better than Ketel One or a host of other vodka makers that don’t try and shape the world in the image of leftist ideologues and I certainly don’t need a vodka maker to push their agenda on me. I won’t spend a red cent on their products from here on out. That is the Absolut truth.
