It's equivalent to what LC posted. Or, maybe, a picture of the entire Middle East as Israeli Territory marketing the drink in Israel. Or, maybe, a picture of all of Western Europe (don't forget Great Britain) under Third Reich control to sell the drink in Germany.

It doesn't really bother me, but I could see how some people might be bothered with it. Personally, I hate vodka anyway.

Or are you a proponent of turning everything back to the native Indians since they were here first?


While turning over the land to the Native Americans would be impossible, the USA could at least uphold the treaties they agreed to and still violate. I'm guessing you aren't related or friends with any Native Americans.
