Kudos to fellow journalist Luis Clemens, whose most recent posting is a brilliant showcase of what happens when writers and editors who do not speak Spanish (and do not understand the Hispanic market) are assigned to write or edit stories on the subject. 

Clemens, who knows better than anybody the importance of knowing where to put your eñes and your accents makes a detailed list of amusing examples found recently in a Television Week article. Read Luis’ complete posting here.

The editors of 02138, the glossy magazine “of and for Harvard graduates” published by media mogul David Bradley, have unveiled the inaugural Harvard Hubris Hall of Fame in its spring issue. 

The list, described as a collection of “the most egregious cases of Harvard Hubris in recent memory,” showcases the university’s most infamous graduates. It includes -of course- former Mexican president Carlos Salinas de Gortari, who is charged by the magazine’s editors with corruption, mild tyranny and bungling a major developing economy

Also included on the list of infamy: Paul Bremer, former head of Iraq’s Coalition of Provisional Authority; Enron’s Jeff Skilling; Cardinal Bernard Francis Law and Indian plagiarist Kaavya Viswanathan.

Want more Latinos? worry no more: Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is already on the shortlist for next year. Yupi!
