Romney is NOT Mexican, But He Wouldn’t Mind Univision Spreading the Word Out

As everybody knows by now, Univision’s Jorge Ramos this week sat down with both Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney to discuss some issues relevant to the Latino voter, for example, when and how are they going to bomb Cuba and kill the Castros.

However, this blogger’s favorite moment came when Romney denied being Mexican-American, but yet asked Ramos to spread the word out, thinking that little “white lie” would get him ahead among the Latino electorate.

New Latino Dating Site Wants to Hook You Up With a ‘Sexy Culo Latino’

It had been a while since anybody pitched this blogger such a juicy, sexy -and sexual- new venture, so I was ecstatic to hear LatinDating is up and running.

I have no idea who Jim, Laura, Helen and Maria are, but given the carefully-crafted copy on the homepage, I can tell you they know a thing or two about Google search analytics, using words like culo, sexy, Latina, free, sex, etc. in no particular order, and following no grammatical rules whatsoever.

Ay, caramba!

 

Hilarious! Gingrich Compares Immigrants to Packages

The man who wants to be president of the United States, and thinks Spanish is the language spoken in the ghetto, thinks it is really funny to compare “illegal” immigrants with sitting packages.

The Twin Towers Are Alive and Kickin’ in Mexico

The owners of this cantina in the heart of Villahermosa, México, thought naming their joint Las Torres Gemelas (The Twin Towers) might not be impactful enough,  so they added a dash of reality by posting a photo of Manhattan with the Brooklyn Bridge as background.

Oh, and by the way, they are hiring and actively looking for a “presentable” lady who really wants to work…

Mercedes’ Chief Thought Using ‘El Ché’ to Peddle Luxury Cars Was an Awesome Idea

Yeah, this was the image that gave Mr. Dieter Zetsche a big P.R. headache and forced him to apologize to the Cuban exile in Miami.

Turns out the head of Daimler’s Mercedes unit, didn’t stop to think that using the image of El Ché to peddle a luxury car was not going to sit well with many people … especially the Cuban exile in Miami, who think El Ché is pretty much the same as the diablo en persona.

Ah… the wonderful world of marketing!

¡Salucita! Mitt Romney Will Make Your Latino Family Sip Wine at Lunch

It’s not just because he’s a fellow Mexican, but I’m starting to see some positive stuff in the whole Mitt Romney-thing… For example, it looks like under his rule, our Latino almuerzos will be wine-infused, which is, like, oh-so-maravilloso!
