Wow...I don't even know what to say about that ad. I mean, you can definitely argue that the taking of all that territory from Mexico over 150 years ago was one of the all-time suckerpunches in history, but I think that it's safe to argue that in the long run California, Nevada, Arizona, etc. have been better off under the United States. Shoot, I bet a lot of Mexicans would agree with me!
After all, think of how much further they'd have to go to cross the border into the United States!
I don't drink vodka anyway, so a boycott from me is pretty easy.
