Yo Quiero Taco Bell


The Associated Press reports that Taco Bell wil be "reopening for the first time in 15 years in Mexico", and apparently the news is not sitting well with some our friends south of the border. Many people look at Taco Bell's presence in Mexico as an insult, and some of it's menu items even bigger insults as the taco in Mexico "holds a place of honor in the national cuisine."

Mexicans are passionate about their Tacos; that's really all there is to it. I once saw a guy get his ass whooped in cancun over some nachos so i can only imagine what would've happened had it been over the sacred taco. That being said, Taco Bell is coming to a pueblo near you and there's nothing you can do about it except brace yourself for the endless assault of rat-dog commercials. The real question being posed here is if they will continue to use the ad slogan "run for the border"? Let's be honest, enough of their would-be customers are already running for the border, and that border has nothing to do with getting 10 soft tacos for $3.99. A change would probably be in order....what about "Taco Bell...pick up some tacos on your run for the border"???
