We are talking here about denigrating a country’s image through the caricaturisation of the country’s people.

This is not about politics in Mexico or violence, we are talking about advertising. Every country has a different stereotypes, history and problems, from Iceland to New Zealand.

If you want to show a caricature of a culture there are more clever ways to do it and no one would be offended.

It’s damn funny. Politically over-correctness is just getting anal. And stupid.

Plus, the fact of how famous El Santo is/was in Mexico, it’s not making a stereotype up. It exists. There are Mexican wrestlers, they wear masks and they’re funny. I say BK should do a commercial showing an anal-retentive Mexican diplomat.

As I said, they don’t care too much for gringos; gringos gives them indigestion.
