Are you a vodka drinking anti illegal immigration activist?

  • 21 Comments
  • by: Aristotle

( – promoted by Colorado Pols)

Are you bummed that you can’t get martinis made with one of the most popular brands, Absolut, because their ad is fueling a dangerous movement that seeks to repatriate the lands lost in the Mexican American War to our southern neighbor?

Well, fear not: Skyy Vodka, an All-American brand, is taking a stand in this serious matter. Take it away, Alipac:

BoycottAbsolut.com Thanks American Vodka Brand SKYY for Criticism of Absolut!

April 11, 2008

Contact: ALIPAC, press@alipac.us, (866) 703-0864

History was made today when American made SKYY Vodka sent out a press release proudly supporting the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and criticizing Absolut for their offensive advertising in Mexico.

“This is the first time we have ever seen an American brand stand up, recognize, and support US Sovereignty against an import that is pandering to illegal immigration supporters,” said William Gheen of ALIPAC. “We want to thank SKYY Vodka for showing themselves as a patriotic and top shelf alternative to Absolut.”

The National Illegal Immigration Boycott Coalition (NIIBC) plans to incorporate the news from SKYY Vodka into their boycott website at www.boycottabsolut.com All coalition groups will be encouraged to share this historic news.

All boycott supporters will now be encouraged to try SKYY Vodka, as a show of thanks to the American brand for standing up for Americans!

“I like SKYY Vodka!”, said William Gheen. “It is great to be able to have an occasional martini without contributing to a Global corporation, like Absolut, that is encouraging the invasion of my nation.”

Whew! Now, does anyone know how Stoli feels about the Treaty of Versailles? Or what Ketel One has to say about the Congress of Vienna? I can’t restock my liquor cabinet in abject ignorance of how the big distillers feel about these pressing issues.

      1. was some stuff I got on a college trip to Russia called, I kid you not, “Ruskaya Rulyetka” (guess what that translates as). It cost 4000 rubles (or a measly two bucks) and was sitting in a window in the hot sun, so I thought for sure it would be terrible. I just got it as a cheap joke, but I brought it out at a party over a year later and discovered it was the smoothest vodka ever – the burn was almost a hint. I ended up drunk, something I try never to be because being drunk sucks, but the hangover wasn’t bad.

        If I ever end up in Moscow again I’m keeping my eyes peeled for it.

      2. Going to put skol, but I dont know how to do umlauts. Back when I was a younger drinker skol and McCormicks were the drink. Absolut was a luxury, rarely enjoyed.

        On topic: I  dont drink vodka, but if I did absolut’s creative marketing campaign wouldnt drive me from it. In fact, their pillow riot commercial would probably drive me to their product.

  1. Now this is seriously funny.

    I don’t expect a big market share shift, but suspect a clever use of current events on the marketing departments behalf.  

    That was one of my points in your other diary about Absolut.  They handed any potential competitor a club to beat them with for no discernable gain.  Unless the market share gain in Mexico is greater than the loss in the US that is.

    I don’t drink, so I really don’t know.  But the real test is, is SKYY any good.  If it’s not, it won’t matter.  If it is as good as Absout, then it may get noticed, and benefit from Absolut’s stumble.  

    Otherwise, it’s all just silly.

    1. I guess that also depends how many people believe the boycotter’s allegation that illegal immigration is reconquista ipso facto, and how many of those even drink top shelf vodka. My guess is that it’s not many, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to bring pressure to bear on liquor stores and bars where there is a lot of anti illegal immigration activity.
