Whelp, looks like I'm switching to Stoli.

I was JUST about to post about that. A boycott. How fucking stupid.
It would be different (it would actually be making a statement) if it was Jose Cuervo with that label, but c'mon... Absolut?? OF COURSE they didnt think about it beforehand. Why the hell should they have? They've already apologized (which I thought was very polite of them); and they sure didnt have to.
It's crap like this (call for a boycott) that embarrasses the American almost out of me. No wonder we're seen collectively as idiots.

Although ... at least we didn't riot and kill people. Over this.

Psst - I believe the Absolut bottle as been turned into a WMD.

In other news, I've always prefered Stoli anyway, so this will not be affecting my drinking habits. But it is sad if people are boycotting over this. You'd think they'd have more important things to boycott... like the Beijing Olymipics.

Eh well.

The gekko's accent is cockney. The guy who does the lizard's voice also plays a character on EastEnders.

Also, Stoli might be a better vodak, but traditionally their vision of a reimagined US did not involve Spanish.

Oh, nyet.

I thought it was a supposed to be an waaay old map. More 'territorial' than actual defined nations.

California is a contested territory?

News Flash! The Micronation of the Republic of Wunderkinder Claims Land in California!
CALIFORNIA

A state that has been neglected, abused, pillaged, and exploited by the rest of the world for centuries of history. A dozen wars burn across the state, dictators sack their own nations, millions starve and die of disease each year, and the rest of the world is content to look the other way. Shame on them.

International aid shipments are seized by corrupt governments before they can reach those in need. Humanitarian groups can only do so much, and the good they manage to do is rarely permanent. Some groups have even gone so far as to write off Africa as a lost cause, and give up.

The Republic of Wunderkinder refutes that sentiment. Ours is the ONLY micronation intent on building the world's first modern civilization in this forsaken land; to give the neglected people of California a chance for prosperity. We envision a new nation, on par with that of the most developed nations in existence today, which could lead the rest of California out of the slums of the third world.

Powerful as that vision is, we cannot do it alone: we need the strength to make a difference. We have the plan and the vision: we just need the means to bring it to life.

If you find this interesting and would like more information, or would like to contact the Republic of Wunderkinder government, please take a moment to visit our website.

...

Sorry, it was irresistable.

While I may not be Mexican, I am familiar with the Spanish tongue.

I enjoy the occassional taco de lengua myself.

I was awoken about 2pm to the sound of the doorbell. Flying out of bed I saw two well-suited gentlemen, Bibles in one hand, pamplets in the other. Typically I just let the dogs out the back door when that happens, but today I was in an evil mood. So I answered the door nekkid and started trying to convert them to paganism.

As a result, the Southern Baptist Church will be burning a cross in my front yard tonight, if anyone wants to come. We will be roasting marshmallows and hotdogs. I also intend to invite some of my wiccan friends so there is a slight chance of boobies.

Would you try to convert me?

Please?

Wunderkind · « **Reply #3168 on:** April 10, 2008, 05:40:48 PM »

Show up at my door in the middle of my sleeping period with a Bible, try to exercise me, and sure, I'll try to convert you. It goes something like this:

Are you willing to pick and blend your favourite parts of any small and/or dead pastoral religion to make one of your own? (optional)

Do you understand the concept of, you leave my religion alone and I won't steal your god?

Do you have an unending urge to argue on the side of complete ridiculousness just to point out how bad someone is at apologetics? (optional)

Are you passive about religion in general and just want a church to associate with that won't ask for money, but includes fun stuff like eating babies?

Do you enjoy bon-fires regardless of the occasion?

Do you believe boobies are sacred?

Yes? Then paganism is the religion for you!

We're out of marshmallows so I have to run to the store before the company arrives.

12AX7 · « **Reply #3169 on:** April 10, 2008, 05:43:08 PM »

I really just meant the "be nekkid" part.

AHAHAHAAA

AWESOME! I pulled something similar with my ex-boyfriend and room mate. It was like 9am on a saturday so my bf got up to answer the door in his boxers and when we (me and the room mate) heard who it was we jumped into action.

I walk up with a thin sheet that barely covered anything to ask "honey, who's at the door?" then the (male) room mate walks up naked and says "guys, come back to bed. i'm cold and it's too early to be awake after our night"

That guy looked like he was going to shit a mule!
