Today (April 8), 2008, I noticed the following link in Yahoo.com
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080408/us_nm/mexico_absolut_dc [1]
It is about an advertisement created for Mexican market which shows a
map of the Mexico before the U.S. attacked Mexico.
Althought it was not shown in the U.S. and Mexicans remain sensitive about the loss of their land, the advertisement made U.S. consumers angry.
Because of number of complains from the U.S. consumers, the adv.
agency (Teran/TBWA) discontinued the advertisement.
So, next time you see a wrong reference to the Persian Gulf or abuse
of our heritage, take a similar action. It will make a difference.
Thank you.
