No, America, the Taco Cleanse is not a Thing

~ Mi Blog es tu Blog ~ 3 Comments

For reasons I cannot even begin to fathom, four Austin, Texas, residents decided to eat tacos for three meals a day, for 30 days.

The result? The Taco Cleanse, a new book by Wes Allison, Stephanie Bogdanich, Molly R. Frisinger and Jessica Morris, “the self-proclaimed taco scientists, ” who claim “the tortilla-based diet proven to change your life.”

Well, Allison, Bogdanich et al, as the REAL taco expert here, I am sorry to tell you that eating tacos daily -while delightful and delicious- will not really change your life; your waistline, for sure, but not your life (DM me if you need photographic proof.)

So, más respeto please and – above all- No mamen, por favor.

Evo Morales is not your typical Latin American president, and that’s a good thing.

As part of his relentless campaign to be reelected, Morales has jumped on the Star Wars: Episode VIl – The Force Awakens bandwagon to ask Bolivians to choose the Force (i.e. him and his buddies) and not go to the Dark Side (i.e. not him and his buddies.)

WATCH this thing below, and May the Force Be With The Bolivian People

Sunday night Miss Colombia was crowned Miss Universe at the Miss Universe pageant for, like two seconds…. Turns out the crown was actually for Miss Philippines but host Steve Harvey read the cue card wrong, and then everything went to hell for la colombiana — and for Harvey himself.

Here are some of the first memes of the night (they keep coming so make sure to come back) and scroll down for a video of what went down Sunday night.

Mexicans are Loving this Campbell’s Star Wars Soup Commercial. Can you Guess Why?

Intentional insight or mere fluke?
Intentional insight or mere fluke?

Speaking of Mexican Star Wars, there is a new Campbell’s Soup ad making the rounds on the Internet, particularly among Mexicans like myself who grew up convinced that Star Wars‘ adorable R2D2 droid was actually called Arturito.

I am not a fan of canned soup, but I think the ad is quite clever. Now: Do you think it was meant to throw in a “universal insight” in hopes of capturing U.S. Hispanics or was it a pure fluke?

Watch and decide for yourself*

  • Oh, and try to avoid some of the comments on the YouTube page. Some of them are quite pathetic.

Because the Colombia-Not-Columbia Blunder is so Passé…

Well, at least it doesn't say 'Columbia.'
Well, at least it doesn’t say ‘Columbia.’
Having mastered the art of writing “Colombia” when it meant to write “Columbia,” The New York Times via The Associated Press has decided to move onto yet another Latin American-themed, Spanish-language mixup.

So, as I was saying: #ItsManuelNotManual*

Just like #ItsColombiaNotColumbia

According to my DNA, I’m Close to Total Joke Telling Immunity

Be afraid, be very afraid…

According to Ancestry.com, I am 7 percent African; 32 percent Native American; 35 percent Iberian peninsula*; 10 percent Italy/Greece*; 2 percent Asian; 1 percent Pacific Islander and 2 percent West Asian.*

And you know that means only one thing. It means I’m very close to having total joke telling immunity, and as Jerry Seinfeld once said, If I ever get Polish citizenship there’ll be no stopping me!

*WTH?
