Mexico’s Top Diplomat Wins First Prize in Guacamole Competition, Because Mexico

The stunt, known in social media simply as the Guacamole Challenge (#RetoGuacamole) officially kicked off the 2016 edition of the nation’s Food Show. This blogger can only anticipate some great diplomacy coming from her birth country in the next few years, as our leaders prepare to face the Orange Clown.

John Oliver’s Take on Peña Nieto’s #YaChole Campaign Is a Thing of Beauty
It doesn’t take a genius to realize that Mexico is a mess, and that President Enrique Peña Nieto, Mexico’s most unpopular president to date, is not doing much to help.
In fact, Peña Nieto’s most recent ad campaign asking Mexicans to just “stop complaining” quickly backfired, leading the government to pull the ad from its official YouTube page. But as everybody (except Peña Nieto and his advisers) knows, what happens on the Internet, stays on the Internet. And thanks to this, brilliant people like John Oliver can make sense of the nonsense, making sure things are not easily forgotten.
Remember, EPN: “You can’t delete anything from the Internet. The only way to guarantee no one will see something online is to put it on Newsweek.com”
So, gracias John!
Mexico’s Surreal Midterm Elections in a Few Images
Valentín González: The guy with the Batmobile…
Paul Ospital Carrera: The PRI candidate with a well-placed message…
Temo: The guy who walked with The Beatles…
Mauriano Muñoz Nava: The guy who wants you to f*ing vote for him…
And last, but not least…. Adrián de la Garza. Get that palm tree outta here!
Aspiring Mexican Mayor Uses Batmobile to Campaign Around
Awwww, Mexico…
The land of the collective smooch, the coold cocnuts and the 1-million-dollar birthday parties is also the World’s Headquarters of innovative political initiatives.
Take Valentín González, aspiring Mayor of Netzahualcóyotl, who decided it was an awesome idea to drive around the impoverished municipality in his own Batmobile. Why? Simple, because it is the only way to fight crime and stuff so he can get elected and all that.
Per the campaign itself:
“The campaign will be accompanied by our emblem, which we decided to be a Batmobile, simply because in order to reach the Mayor’s Office we’ll have to fight criminals who for a long time have disturbed the peace of our citizens.”
¡Santas elecciones, Valentín!

This Mexican Mayor Lifted a Woman’s Skirt in Public at a $1-Million Party, Because Mexico
Awwww Mexico…
The land of the collective smooch and the “coold cocnuts” is also the Global Headquarters of mustachioed, sombrero-clad disgusting politicians.
In the latest Kafkaesque episode of our never boring political telenovela, Mexican Mayor Hilario Ramírez Villanueva this week jumped to the spotlight after a video emerged showing the moment he whipped up the skirt of a young woman he was dancing with.
According to several reports, the footage was captured during the mayor’s lavish 44th birthday party for which he reportedly paid a whopping $1 million and which we can only assume featured plenty of booze, drugs and babes.
Ramírez Villanueva has shrugged off his critics and has denied spending that much on his birthday bash. He even asked [politely] Jorge Ramos to refrain from mentioning his mother –this, after the Univision anchor confronted the Mayor and asked him what he would think if someone did the same to his progenitor.
