Anyways, when I was in Mexico the Naughty Professor and I got a guilty little kick playing a game called "spot the racist advertising". This is a game that will not disappointed my friends. For example.....
For the non-Spanish speakers- the sign is supposed to say Precios Chinos, Precios Baratos (or Chinese prices, cheap prices) but instead they go for racism as humor and make fun of a Chinese Spanish speakers accent by replacing all the Rs with Ls. How very Jerry Lewis of them. (Picture is of a scoreboard for a Mexican baseball field- I cannot recommend Mexican baseball games enough. They have much better food).But it gets better. Today I found an Italian version of a commercial I saw in Mexico that made me drop my jaw and say "Ningún usted no!" (Oh no you didn't!)
Sorry for the crappy link to Youtube- there wasn't an embed link and I am not as tech savvy as I like to pretend
