Burger King has a new ad out in Spain: a burger with Mexican toppings, shilled by a Texas cowboy and a short Mexican wrestler. This has Mexico in an uproar, because they're tired of the stereotype, etc. My initial reaction was "Who cares?". But I kept reading the article and something really caught my eye.
It says that the print edition of the ad further angered the Mexican community because it showed the wrestler using a Mexican flag for a cloak. According to the article, "Mexico has strict rules about using its national flag."
Really? Does that include foreigners sneaking into Mexico and burning the flag, or spitting on it, or hanging it upside down beneath an American flag at a Mexican high school? I can sure understand why that would make Mexicans angry. It's rather rude to be so disrespectful to the flag of a host country, isn't it?
What a big, steaming pile of hypocritical Tiajuana caca. If they're so worried about their national image, they might try to...I dunno...get rid of the *#$@%@ drug cartels that are running the countryside with more firepower than the Mexican "army". Or clean up the ungrateful wetbacks that sneak into America to bitch about not getting enough of the money they don't earn.
What a bunch of idiotas.
