Your one-stop shop for all things Latin/Hispanic/Mexican
We didn’t plan for this to go public, but ‘The New York Times’ had to go and ruin it for us. Yes, part of Latinos’ master plan to sneak into this country is by disguising ourselves as movie mascots.
What the New York Times doesn’t know is that once we have managed to sneak in (like Mr. Martinez, above) we then move onto Phase II of the plan, which consists of a more elaborate scheme to rapidly populate the country.
I have been spending the last few days in Greece, and every time I see a cat -or a group of cats- they will be invariably taking a nap, which makes me suspect these felines might be of Mexican origin somehow.
I have also been way too busy enjoying the Greek summer while lazily sipping an ouzo, so I have not had the time to dig deeper into the subject. But rest assure I will investigate and will do my best to get to the bottom of it… After my siesta, that is.

As soon as I learned that Amazon was partnering with JibJab to release customizable video gift cards, I visited the online retailer to create my very own customizable video gift card.
To my surprise, I found the company offers a multicultural option which -of course- allows for you to create a Mexican-themed Christmas video song, featuring yourself dancing to the rhythm of non-Mexican José Feliciano. [You can click on the photo above to see me in full action.]
So what are you waiting for? Go be a Mexican for the holidays!
¡Arriba, arriba! ¡Caramba, caramba!
“Mexicans do the work Americans don’t want to do. Asians do the work American’s are not able to do.”
Watch Colbert deconstruct this new Inv-ASIAN here:
One thing I’ve always loved about Americans is their penchant for specialization.
Take a special unit at Newark Airport that is becoming so adept at racial profiling that they have come to be known as the “Mexican Hunters.”
According to the Daily Mail:
To be sure, these fellows are also stopping Dominicans, but hey, you cannot ask them to be that good at telling one Hispanic from another, can you?
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].
If you needed one more reason to fear “The Mexicans” consider this: not content with dropping babies all over the place, we are ready to take over by having our very own extraterrestrial creatures invade North America.
At least that’s what I was able to piece together from watching the trailer -and visual propaganda- of the upcoming piece of shit blockbuster Monsters, written and directed by the very unknown Garreth Edwards and starring a bunch of people I’ve never heard of.
Grab your escopetas, gringos, here come the real Mexican aliens!
Forget all about Hispanic cheese and lettuce. You know your neighborhood supermarket is genuinely targeting Mexicans when its soda aisle devotes space to the real thing.

Via Cuernavaca 2.0.
For the uninitiated or, rather, the monolingual crowd, this Mexican taxi driver wants you to know There is no service available for gringos from Arizona.

Because you can never get enough Mexicans in California, the state’s Travel and Tourism Commission has launched an all-Spanish-language Web site to “help lure more Mexicans to The Golden State.”
Visita California informs my people about the many wonderful things we can expect to do in the Golden State, including sun-bathing, surfing, golfing and -of course- rafting.
According to Caroline Beteta, CTTC president & CEO and chair of the U.S. Travel Association:
“This new Spanish-language Web site is part of one of the ways we hope to make planning a California dream vacation easier and more compelling to this important market.”
I suppose Ms. Beteta is talking about the “other” important Mexican market; and not the one charged with cleaning their hotel rooms and picking their fruit…
I wonder.
¡¡¿Ah qué chingaderas son estas???!!
According to polling firm Consulta Mitofsky, Mexican adults curse an average of 20 times a day, serving up about 1.3 billion swear words daily.
The survey, reported this week by AP, also found that upper class citizens swear more than the poor, while people in the heavily Indian southern part of the country curse less than northerners.
Alas, the poll did not include data among the millions of Mexicans living on this side of the border. But I’m sure the rate is enormous among immigrants in Taos, New Mexico, Maricopa County and pretty much among those watching high doses of Bill O’Reilly, Lou Dobbs and Glenn Beck.
¡Have a nice weekend, cabrones!
