Oh No, They Didn’t! Taco Bell Preps the Dori-Taco
Author: Laura Martinez Mi blog es tu blog
All this blah, blah, blah about being bicultural, bilingual, living in two worlds, etc. has finally resulted in something tangible –and most likely inedible. Taco Bell’s Doritos Locos Tacos promise to bring us the best of both worlds: a “taco” on the inside… Doritos on the outside* How can you go wrong with that? via: Gizmodo [...]

When Mexican Politics Intersect With Fine Language
Author: Laura Martinez Mi blog es tu blog
You can say anything you like about Andrés Manuel López Obrador, but at least the guy has it very clear where he’ll end up if he doesn’t win the Mexican presidency this year.

Oda al GPS
Author: Alexis Romay Belascoaín y Neptuno
Por culpa del GPS, en Dallas metí la pata: con una graciosa errata, puse al mundo de revés. Con humor (y con estrés), con un suspiro profundo y sin perder un segundo, doblamos por una rampa: nos perdimos en la … Sigue leyendo →

Gorton’s Launches Spanish-language Site to Pitch Tits and Other Delicious Seafood Treats
Author: Laura Martinez Mi blog es tu blog
I love it when marketers go out of their way and launch Spanish-language web sites to reach my people (i.e. Hispanics.) But just one little thing. If you are going to be as rigorous as Gorton’s Seafood, which seems to be pretty good at putting accents and including “eñes” in their Spanish-language copy, you might want [...]

Author: Laura Martinez Mi blog es tu blog
The creators of the Partner ES900, a portable translator that would seduce your girlfriend into opening her legs, are back at it, with a new marketing blitz pitching the device as the sole “linguistic method” that would make your girl wrap her legs -and not her arms- around your neck. [Click photo to enlarge.] This [...]

Want More Latinos to Watch the News? Pitch the News as a Steamy Telenovela
Author: Laura Martinez Mi blog es tu blog
And to stay in the subject of sh*t this blogger couldn’t make up even if she tried… a local Fox affiliate in San Antonio, WOAI-TV, has found an awesome way to attract more Latino viewers to its 6:30 PM newscast. How??!! Just pitch the nightly newscast as if it were a steamy telenovela, featuring guys in sombreros [...]

Gulf of Mexico to be Renamed Gulf of America
Author: Laura Martinez Mi blog es tu blog
Remember the Absolut brouhaha? Remember the Alamo? Well, none of those contentious binational wars would ever come close to what’s looming behind a moronic proposition to rename the Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America. The brilliant idea popped into the head of State Rep. Steve Holland of Mississippi, most likely because there’s not a [...]
