Pour me a mezcal
Americans for Legal Immigration (ALIPAC) is calling for a boycott of Absolut vodka after the company took its "In an Absolut World" campaign to Mexico.

The ad, right, ran on billboards and in a magazine saying the ad was designed for a Mexican audience and intended to recall "a time which the population of Mexico might feel was more ideal."

It's not an ideal ALIPAC strives for:
There is a rapidly growing separatist movement in the United States that is being fueled by illegal immigration across our Southern Border with Mexico.

While many in the American media try to ignore or play down the threat, this radical movement is much stronger than most Americans know and global companies like Absolut are trying to cash in on it.
Judging from the map, Gov. Huntsman would finally get his long-sought liberalization of Utah's liquor laws.

Absolut has apologized for the ads.

So in addition to their other endearing traits, these (conservative, free speech, English only, send them back) types have no sense of humor!
