New “In An Absolut World” ad
Posted on August 8, 2008
After the first disastrous ad, the “reconquista” ad, Absolut Vodka has debuted another sure-to-be controversial ad. I was reading Cosmo when I flipped the page and saw this:
The sad thing was, I wasn’t the least bit surprised. I somehow imagine that Absolut, like the rest of the liberal media, got the idea from their adoration of the woman, Thomas Beatie, who got pregnant and was called a man. I personally refuse to call her a man. She isn’t a man. She’s a woman who got her boobs chopped off and took testosterone.
Anyways, I have a suspicion that Beatie was the inspiration for this ad. And in any case, what is their point? That more women should become transgendered and have babies while calling themselves men? That it would be neato if guys could have babies? People are so desperate to push the envelope these days that they don’t take the time to stop and think about whether or not the message they’re sending makes any sense. Yeah, yeah, we get it. Liberals love to turn traditional stereotypes on their heads. Very mature and intelligent. But switching childbearing genders just pushes a pointless, meaningless message. It says nothing, and in all likelihood was created for sheer shock value alone, meant to be avante-garde and offensive. But how many people will do more than raise their eyebrows?
And that’s what is so sad. We’ve slid so far into the slime in this country, have so completely abandoned our Judeo-Christian morals and values, that for many of us (although not all) this won’t be shocking in the least.
I’m not saying things like this should be censored, not in the least. However, it would be nice if companies like Absolut would show some respect for the values that the majority of Americans hold dear. I guess being the beverage of open borders just wasn’t good enough for them anymore.

That’s quite an imagination you have there. I would think it’s a wee bit more likely that the idea came from the fact that every woman who has ever given birth has wished at least once that men had to go through it instead.
I feel sorry for you that you have nothing better to do than write such a distateful blog. Do you not have anything better to do? Feed the poor or something? Two people chose to have a baby in an untraditional way. Big deal. Their baby was conceived in love the same as anybody elses. Get over it! You also know nothing about the struggles that transgender people go through. Pick up a book.
actually – this ad came out over a year ago…
It looks like “Becky” is clueless when she wrote “Their baby was conceived in love the same as anybody elses.”
I don’t see how conception by technology can be love.
This ad is over a year old, and you are obviously the sort of self-righteous, ignorant person who looks for something, anything in the world around you to nail your close-minded political beliefs to. Get a life you git.
Wow Becky, it seems your one of the people that don’t know fantasy from reality, You can never convince a fag of the truth, because fags live with a lie everyday, everyday he believes he’s a she but he’s not or she believes she’s a he but she’s not.
These people should be ignored (ò¿ó)
Robert – Thomas and Nancy love their baby very much no matter how she came into this world. The same as an adopted child, a surrogate child, a foster child, or a child from a sperm donor.
Mack – I have studied transgender people and homosexuality in depth. I know many GLBT folks including my own son. It seems you live in the fantasy world. Every major medical, psycholigcal, psychiatric, and pediatric organization says that homosexuality is a natural variant on human sexuality. It seems you need to do some reading and maybe you might learn enough to refrain from calling people “fags”. Be careful who you hate, it COULD BE somebody you LOVE!
Becky,
Saying that sodomy shouldn’t be glorified is nowhere near the same as preaching hate.
Becky, Could it be possible that your studies have corrupted, promoted or influenced your son’s homosexual problems by exposing his young mind to those GLBT perversions? Becky is a perfect example of why I believe that homosexuals should never be allowed to adopt.
homo’s should never be trusted (ò¿ó)
