Which explains the odoriforous emanations outside of any Cancun restaurant.

I spent a good part of my youth in Mexico, surfing, camping, drinking, drinking, and oh yeah, drinking. That was enough Espanol to get me by for a long time. My 4 1/2 year old son now speaks more spanish than me.

Uno mas cerveza, por favor, señorita <------the extent of my spanish (love the song). Oh and not that I would buy any of that crap anyway but that company can kiss my........

Here in America...It should automaticly be english...press 1 for spanish.

Not to sound raciest or mean....
If you want to come into the U.S., come legal and speak english. I dont belive that mexico will teach their citizens english just to accomadate me, if I move there.

Nothing against someone trying to better themselves, just do it right.

Common sense stuff sometimes is, unfortunately, equated to racism in topics like this, by those lacking in common sense.

Just because you are proud of your country, your traditions and want laws followed / enforced does not make a person a racist. When hate comes in to the picture is when it all changes, IMHO.

Just my .02,

I just heard on the radio where the company that had the Absolut marketing account just had it yanked. It could all be for show. Look how much coverage they got over the 3-4 days.
