Manic Hispanic

Living in Los Angeles you become accustomed to, instead of the wonder and splendor of the beauty of nature such as trees and flowers, endless miles of billboards. They'll tack a billboard onto just about any structure - a building, a busboard, a port-a-potty.

Being a multicultural metropolis, we often enjoy bilingual billboards. And nobody enjoys those bilingual billboard more than the people whose photos are featured on them.



Take radio personality El Mandril... our happy Mexican friend is smiling (and pointing for some unknown reason).



What about El Cucuy? Again with the pointing. And boy, is he happy.

Put the two of these guys together and... WOW! They've gone and torn the head off a monkey!

Granted, these are "wacky" radio DJ's - but Jesus Cristo! A monkey???

This is from an ad for an insurance company that targets Latinos as its clientèle.


Smiling. Pointing. Maniacally happy.
I'm thinking it's a part of a larger cultural thing... ever seen Telemundo?
What's the Spanish word for Ritalin?
