    Default Mexicans pissed off again.. I'm sorry but I don't get it..

    YouTube - Burger King - Surprising Combination - Texican Whopper from Burger King

    Whopper of an insult? Mexico slams burger ad
    from msnbc.com: Business

    This Burger King advertisement, which shows a wrestler in a cape resembling a Mexican flag and an American cowboy, has prompted a Mexican diplomat to complain the spot "improperly" uses the "stereotyped image of a Mexican."Mexico's ambassador to Spain said Monday he has written a letter to Burger King's offices objecting to an ad showing a small wrestler dressed in a cape resembling a Mexican flag.

    Would they rather the ad feature drug lords or 5 year olds selling cigarettes... I mean whoppers on the border? Nothing but filth comes from that country. At least Burger King picked the lesser of the bullshit.
