Your one-stop shop for all things Latin/Hispanic/Mexican
Next time your car breaks down in a Latino neighborhood, all you have to do is call the folks at Jimmy John’s. Not only they will deliver your sandwich right on the spot, but they will make sure to send a squeaky-clean white boy for your safety.

Not content with scaring the bejesus out of white families around the nation’s freeways, the Mexicans are now taking over the heart of the Big Apple: Times Square.
Open 7 days a week, the Mexican Bar -and its scantily clad señoritas– is waiting for you to celebrate its gran “inaguración,” which is kind of like an “inauguración” but way, way better.
So what are YOU waiting for? Come have some real Latin fun! This joint is 100% mMexicano [sic].
Turns out Nicaragua invaded neighboring Costa Rica this, only to blame Google Maps for the embarrassing incident.
As it turns out, Nicaragua’s highest military “intelligence” relied solely on Google Maps to figure out their country’s borders, and in no way “meant” to go where nobody had invited them to.
As a Nicaraguan commander told the local press: he was just following what Google Maps said, and he never intended to go into the neighboring country.
But Google Maps was not ready to take blame for the whole mess, and instead quickly pointed the finger to the real culprit:
I am still waiting on the U.S. State Department’s answer, but I think they are still trying to figure out where this whole thing is taking place.
Attention, Latin American workers working in rotten conditions: Hang on to your dreams -and hopes: You never know when your crummy, underpaid, terribly dangerous job will help you land a spot in the New York City marathon and make you a star of late-night television.
If it happened to Edison Peña, it can happen to all of us! [or not]
U.S. broadcast television wants you to believe Ricky Martin came out of the closet on March 29. But us, Spanish speakers exposed to Televisión Española know that this actually happened a long, long, time ago, in a galaxy not very far away, actually.
P.S. This blogger is just waiting on Bosé.
After more than 20 years on the air, Univision’s long-running talk show El Show de Cristina is coming to an end. The final episode will air tonight @10 PM (ET) .
The famous Cuban-American host said she was let go for being ‘vieja.’ Yet, she also anticipated “new and exciting” projects, including a TV show coming in the spring.
No word yet on when Sábado Gigante will get the ax, though if you asked me, I think Don Francisco has stamina for another 50 years.
SPOILER ALERT: Attention, telenovela fans, if you prefer to be pleasantly surprised Monday night, please don’t read this post.
Turns out the “secret” behind Univision’s much-hyped upcoming Eva Luna is finally out: According to The Hollywood Reporter, the telenovela, which will premiere Nov. 1, will give viewers plenty of product placements by marketers including General Motors, Domino’s Pizza and T-Mobile.
That way, Hispanic TV viewers will be able to savor the wonders of advertising even before -and after- watching the actual commercials.
Isn’t that just freaking dandy?
You can say anything you want about Eddie “Piolín” Sotelo, but the guy sure knows how to interview a president. The influential radio personality (and former undocumented Mexican) kicked off a one-on-one interview with Barack Obama this Monday by offering the president four possible topics of conversation:
EPS: I’m gonna give you the option, you know, which topic would you like me to begin with.
POTUS: We can talk about anything you want, Piolín.
EPS: I’m gonna give you options. Multiple choice. Are you ready?
POTUS: I am.
EPS: A.) Immigration reform B.) Immigration reform, C.) Immigration reform or D.) All of the above.
POTUS: I think I’ll take D.) All of the above
Click here to hear the rest of the interview until the end. I’m happy enough with the way it began.
Louisiana Senator David Vitter does not like his opponent, Charlie Melancon, apparently because he gave us (the Mexicans) a warm welcome in this country, greeting us with marching bands, fireworks, balloons and even a stretch limo.
This is bogus, man! Can Mr. Melancon please explain why I got none of these when I came in? Is it ’cause I didn’t pass through Louisiana? If so, I will keep that in mind for future reference and tip my paisanos. Who wouldn’t want such a festive welcome to the U.S.A?

I am sure you are too busy these days to take notice of real important news, so allow me to fill you in on a major development.
Starting today, you might want to refer to the famous Puerto Rican astrologer, caped TV personality of dubious gender Walter Mercado as Shanti Ananda. Why? Because while we were snoozing over our boring jobs and ending our pathetic work days in some local pub, Mr. Mercado had a revelation: a mystical voice in his dreams asked him to change his name to Shanti Ananda and help the poor people of Puerto Rico.
Not sure yet if Shanti will continue to entertain us with his fancy apparitions on Spanish-language TV. He (or she?) will be greatly missed.

This blog’s favorite retro-acculturated Latina (aka La Prieta Faya) is rapping to let us know she is the queen, she is the host and any-time-she-wants-she-can-order-French-toast…
Attention, California Hispanics: If you still need a reason to vote Republican this November -and give your children an extraordinary lesson on politics- you might want to consider Carly Fiorina.
The Republican candidate to the U.S. Senate is so close to her Latino constituency, that during a recent gala with “Hispanic achievers” in California, she took to the stage not only to down a shot of tequila, but to actually conclude that every speech should start with, well, a shot of tequila and then rolling her “rrrrrrr’s” in a very spooky way.
Now, that’s one sensible Republican!

Mexican playmate-guanabee sports reporter Inés Sainz was so traumatized about her infamous “incident” last month at the NFL locker room that she has decided to set herself some “ground rules” in order to go back to work.
First order of business: She will not be conducting interviews in men’s locker rooms, which is, like, a great start!
So, how about setting a higher goal for yourself, Inés, and just go work as playmate or stripper or something? That way she will be doing us all a big favor.
Watch the video below for a full display of Inés’ journalistic abilities.
Well, it looks like my job prospects in New York City are rapidly shrinking, with the recently launched Fox News Latino joining the list of Places-That-Will-Never-Hire-Laura-Martinez.
But, oh, did I have fun last night hanging out with the Russians!

I always knew the folks over at Fox News Latino would raise the information bar, by bringing us news items that truly appeal to U.S. Hispanics. Take Doctor Manny Alvarez, one of this blogger’s favorite authors and the one who brought you The Hot Latin Diet: The Fast Track Plan to a Bombshell Body.
Alas, after all these years not reading his books, I have not yet managed to get my “bombshell body,” but now that I have Fox News Latino to pave the way, I’m willing to give it another shot.
Oh… but wait. I gotta have breakfast!
