Well, a company in St. Louis, Missouri is now launching Blue Selecto, the “first Spanish-language only programmable thermostat” in the market. The gadget, says Emerson Climate Technologies, was the result of “exhaustive” research that showed that “most Spanish-speaking homeowners feel enthusiastic about the opportunity to use an accurate digital thermostat in their own language.”
I couldn’t agree more, because there is nothing more reassuring than knowing Vent is short for Ventilación (not Ventilation;) Temp is short Temperatura, not Temperatura and so on.
(Oh, and just in case you were wondering: 70 in Spanish is also 70.)
Barack Obama this week put in a call to Univision Radio’s Eddie “Piolín” Sotelo to let him know he’s hard at work fixing the immigration mess -and that they are now BFF. I’m not going to bother you with details (you can read the full transcript here) but the highlights of the show were definitely the first and last 5 seconds:
1:48 P.M. MST
THE PRESIDENT: Hello.
PIOLIN: Hello.
THE PRESIDENT: Who am I speaking with?
PIOLIN: Piolín.
THE PRESIDENT: Piolín, my friend, this is President Barack Obama.
And, just a few minutes later, at 1:57 P.M. MST:
THE PRESIDENT: All right. Well, thank you so much, Piolín. It’s great to talk to you.
PIOLIN: Mr. President, you know we are close friends and you know that I have your BlackBerry phone number and you have mine.(Laughter.) So keep in touch.
You would think Spain’s King and Queen would cheat a little on their respective diets during their recent visit to the U.S. (After all, what is a gastronomic peccadillo here and there?) But, as it turns out, the royal couple opted for a low-fat version of the meal they shared with 500 guests at a Royal Society Luncheon in Pensacola, Fl.
Nobody can accuse Mexicans of having ran out of ideas. Take the Northern state of Sinaloa, where a budding group of entrepreneurs are offering visitors tours associated with the state’s most dangerous drug lords.
“The tours include visits to their mansions and to the places where some high-profiled narcos have been killed,” according to press reports. Some of these visits are done riding a pulmonía, those golf-cart-type taxi substitutes that roam free on the roads of Mazatlán.
…Either things are really, really ugly or the Web designer at El Universal got a little too creative by super-imposing the voter’s head over the section’s headline, which I believe is actually called La Disputa 2009 (The Dispute 2009). But then again, when it comes to Mexican politics, you can never be sure.
Well, folks, that is nothing but gone now. In these turbulent times, in which only U.S. Latinos seem to be the only ones who can afford to buy anything, Lady Liberty herself has been forced to take up the iron and work hard at pitching dry cleaning services… in Mexico.
Who knew the llama eterna would end up becoming the plancha eterna? Ay, Dios!
Hat tip to paisano, and loyal Miblogestublog follower Rafael Carballo.
39,897 was the number of people who gathered this Saturday at Mexico City’s famous Zócalo to take part in a group smooch (el megabeso), easily beating the UK’s 2007 record when 32,648 people kissed in Weston-super-Mare.
¡Sí, se puede!
(Now we only have to find a way to beat the gringos at soccer. But I guess that’ll have to wait.)
Forget Papi Chulo and Mamacita teddy bears. In these turbulent economic times, why pay for a stuffed animal when you can get yourself some aquatic, battery-enabled entertainment?
This Limited Edition Dora Aquapet takes 2 AA batteries and promises a lifetime of pleasure next to our favorite Latin niña, Dora the Explorer. Oh, and unlike Vermont’s Latin teddy bears, which go for as much as $79.95, this beauty is only $19.95!
Who knew domestic violence could be this sexy? Judging from this video, there is nothing like a good fight (with toasters, underwear, jewelry, paintings and jugs of milk flying around the house or into the swimming pool) to guarantee a great make out session at the end. Oh mamma! I almost feel like trying this at home.
Queen Noor of Jordan, the U.S. born, 57-year-old widow of the late King Hussein of Jordan, is reportedly dating H.M. Carlos Slim, King of Telmex, Prince of Sanborn’s and Count of the many-many dollars.
According to Spain’s Semana magazine, the two are an item and have been seen globe-trotting in super luxurious planes and automobiles.

Remember the culturally-relevant padlock, which allowed Hispanics to set their combination in Spanish?
