From Michelle Malkin is a new Mexican advertising campaign from Absolut.

Now here’s what it should look like (from Michelle’s reader Ed)

Michelle’s commenter JS Ragman gives the good and bad news

Mornin’ everybody. Here’s some potentially bad news for us non-vodka drinkers. Absolut was recently bought out by Pernod.

According to Wikipedia,

“Pernod Ricard owns a wide variety of beverage brands worldwide. These include:

Royal Salute (scotch whisky)
Chivas Regal (scotch whisky)
The Glenlivet (single malt scotch whisky)
Jameson Irish Whiskey
Seagram’s gin
Pernod aux extraits d’absinthe
Wyborowa (vodka)
Ricard and 51 (pastis)
Martell (cognac)
Wild Turkey (bourbon)
Jacob’s Creek (wine)
Pernod (anise-based spirit)
Zuco
Becherovka
DITA (lychee-based spirit)
Havana Club (rum).

As of 26 July 2005, the brand portfolio expanded to include former Allied Domecq products:

Ballantine’s scotch;
Kahlúa coffee liqueur;
Malibu coconut-flavored rum;
Beefeater gin;
Tia Maria liqueur;
Stolichnaya vodka (distribution in the USA);
Mumm champagne;
Perrier-Jouët champagne.”

So it looks like there are plenty of brands to boycott, if you are so inclined.
