No. They're simply stupid about most things American. They understand NOTHING about the history and culture of the United States. They think the country drops off at Long Island and picks up again in California (with a quick detour to Florida, of course).

I know. I instantly got a vision from the description and could not stop laughing. Talk about comedic gold.

I think the OP article stated well what insulted Mexico the most. You see, in Mexico, no one is allowed to use the flag on clothing. It is against the law. Many celebrities from the U.S. who visit Mexico and are unaware of this law are caught and fined. Oscar de la Hoya is one that was told by authorities to not wear the Mexican flag on his boxing shorts. Also, Selena Quintanilla's brother AB wore the flag on his clothing for one of his shows in Mexico and was also told to take it off. This is the real reason why Mexico felt insulted besides the use of a stereotype.

"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.

Illegal aliens from mexico waving a foreign rag while marching on American soil, and hanging the US flag upside down is a signal of distress. That young blood is about as disrespectful to a country and it's people as a bunch of illegal aliens can be.

What the hell does the insolence, arrogance and disrespect of America on her soil courtesy of a bunch of illegal alien criminals have to do with a freaking Burger King commercial? Nerve indeed

We'll stop airing the Burger King commercial and you stop letting your citizens cross illegally into our country? Deal?
