Respect the Mexican Flag or Else!

Well here is just one more example of how we are to respect the customs and flags of other countries.

The Mexican ambassador to Spain is up set at an ad in which Burger King uses a tall cowboy and a short Mexican wrestler that is wearing a cape with the Mexican flag on it.

Apparently Mexico is strict about the use of its flag and does not reciprocate those feelings toward our flag to the immigrants that they encourage to come to the U.S.

We know they have very strict immigration laws; now we find out they have strict flag observance laws. Why do they trash our values and symbols but yet there will be hell to pay if we disrespect them.

This is why people like myself are embittered toward immigrants who disrespect our flag and our customs. I know, I know, they are here to do the work that Americans do not want to do (right G.W.) Yeah, about that, I am sure right now Americans are saying any job is better than no job, and to hell with the migrant worker.

Oh by the way the American flag in the U.S. flies above the Mexican flag always, so take a flying leap you United State-ophobic freaks!

Here is this infuriating sorry story

Mexico slams Burger King for 'whopper' of insult

MEXICO CITY (AP) - Mexico is protesting what it says is a whopper of an insult.
An advertisement for Burger King's chili-flavored "Texican" burger that has run in Europe shows a small wrestler dressed in a cape resembling a Mexican flag. The wrestler teams up with a lanky American cowboy twice his height to illustrate the cross-border blend of flavors.

"The taste of Texas with a little spicy Mexican," a narrator's voice says.

The much-taller cowboy boosts the wrestler up to reach high shelves and clean tall windows, while the Mexican helps the cowboy open a jar.

Mexico's ambassador to Spain said Monday he has written a letter to Burger King's offices in that nation objecting to the ad and asking that it be removed. Jorge Zermeno told Radio Formula that the ads "improperly use the stereotyped image of a Mexican."

Press officials at Burger King Corp. offices in Miami, Florida, and Madrid, Spain, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Burger King is known for its signature Whopper hamburger.

One of the things that most angered Mexican officials was a print edition of the ad showing the wrestler wearing what appear to be a Mexican flag as a cloak.

(Here is the part of the story that will upset you!)
"We have to tell these people that in Mexico we have a great deal of respect for our flag," Zermeno said.

Mexico has very strict rules about using the flag. In 2008, the government fined a foreign-owned publishing house, Random House Mondadori SA, for showing disrespect to the country's flag in a video posted online.

The video showed a literature fan wearing a Mexican flag like a cape as he barges into a book signing and rips a piece of cloth from the coat of Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho.

It is not the first time that fast-food outlets have offended Mexican sensibilities.

Mexicans and other Hispanics in the United States objected to a Taco Bell ad from the 1990s that featured a pint-sized talking Chihuahua that spoke with a Mexican accent.
