Unfortunately you aren’t allowed to say it in public. The expression “political correctness gone mad” is much overused and this would not qualify as more than being a bit antsy. However you’d guess that the ambassador had more important things to be attending to.

Who is dishing out the Ferrero Rocher?

We read (source is the Courier-Mail in Australia):

“Mexico is protesting what it says is a whopper of an insult after Burger King has run an advertisement featuring a spicy little Mexican wrestler.

An advertisement for Burger King’s Texican Whopper 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 almost twice his height to illustrate the cross-border blend of flavours. “The taste of Texas with a little spicy Mexican,” a narrator’s voice says. The taller cowboy boosts the wrestler up to reach high shelves and helps clean tall windows, while the Mexican helps the cowboy open a jar.

Mexico’s ambassador to Spain said on 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”.
