This is What a Mexican Clinic Did to your Babies Born in 1974

'Fuimos cambiados al nacer'
Yes, this is an actual print promotion of the ‘Cambiados al nacer’ initiative

From the “Only in Mexico” and “Not The Onion” archives, comes Cambiados al nacer (Switched at Birth,) an initiative launched by a group of citizens in Toluca, Mexico, informing people born between July 23 and 24, 1974 that they might have been given to the wrong set of parents.

So far, the Facebook page of Cambiados al nacer has a mere 418 followers, but heck, they even got a story in a local newspaper, aptly titled: Se equivocó la cigüeña (The Stork Made a Mistake.)

I personally find this very amusing, mostly because I was not born in Toluca in 1974, but if you did, you should be worried. Very. Worried.

Come Sing With ‘Los Tigres’… at 33,000 Feet

~ Mi Blog es tu Blog ~ 3 Comments

volarisVolaris, the Mexican low-cost airline that lets you fly from Toluca to Oakland for only $148 round-trip, is now offering norteño music fans the chance to see Los Tigres del Norte perform at 33,000 feet above the ground.

Yeah, that’s right. Volaris has partnered with Bandamax to launch Vuelo Volaris – Bandamax, a promotion offering 40 lucky winners the chance to fly on August 12 between Toluca and Los Angeles and watch Los Tigres perform live while you fly (and presumably when the passenger seat belts lights are off.)
