It was bound to happen, as social media in Latin America continues to explode, chances are that we will begin to see more Spanish-language content going viral. Such is the case of El Pichy Films’ “Peter La Anguila (Peter the Eel)” video, which has struck the jackpot the last few months. Our friends at VOXXI […]

Forget it. We can’t save you on this one, Miss Venezuela. Here’s our advice. Next time, give your answer in Spanish. It’s cool. Because we really have no clue what you said, and all this does is perpetuate the ugly Latina bimbo stereotype that will just make a mockery of you now. Let the Internet […]

Last night on The Daily Show, correspondent Wyatt Cenac filed his last report ever with a segment from Puerto Rico about WAPA-TV’s “SuperXclusivo” show, which has recently faced a very public boycott after the show’s puppet host, La Comay, made comments about dead publicist Jose Enrique Gómez. Advertisers continue to pull out from the show, […]

Just when we thought that Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) was going out on a limb and telling the world that Pitbull ain't no Tupac or Eminem (TRUTH!), a story by NBC Latino published today just proves that Rubio is just another politician who likes to offer music critiques and delete tweets. Now the Miami native is […]

Yeah, we are fans of comedian Bill Santiago. So for all those who keep us asking the question, "Hispanic or Latino?," we will let Santiago explain it for you. Yeah we have been following Santiago for a while. One of our favorite clips was from 2006, when he appeared on Comedy Central. Comedy Central If […]

You know why we love the Internet? Right here. This is why. This video has been around for four years, 8 million views, and it came through our feed today. We are glad it did. Hilariously brilliant. Song is "Ante Up" by M.O.P.

FYI, Cecily Strong isn’t even Latina. Yes, we know: we really want NBC's SNL to actually start producing Latino-themed comedy that is actually good. We love it when SNL gets all political, but when it comes to Latino humor, the show has been missing the mark since… forever. This is what happens when your writing staff […]

Yes, we get it. American brands in the United States know that the Latino consumer market is the NEXT BIG THING, and there is a frantic rush for these brands to authentically connect with these consumers. That is not the issue here. The issue is this: when you think of Clorox Bleach, do you really […]

Last night @MexicanMitt, Twitter's #1 political parody account (according to Politico) was suspended by Twitter a few hours before the real Mitt Romney was to give his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Tampa. After confirming the news with our friends at Pocho.com, we shared the news, and it also made NBC Latino. The […]

UPDATE: August 31, 2012, 9am EST: @MexicanMitt is back on Twitter. On the night that Mitt Romney was to give his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, reports from our friends at Pocho.com have confirmed that the Twitter account of @MexicanMitt has been suspended. Today Pocho got an advanced copy of the speech that MexicanMitt was […]

So it appears that the political distractions will continue. Now the US English-language media has started ripping up a story that Governor Mitt Romney shows a preference for vaginas because he was on a Spanish-speaking radio show in Miami and said that "mangoes, papayas, and mangoes" are his favorite kinds of  Cuban fruits. Granted, the […]

Let's just say that of everything that is in the following video below, the only thing that really made us laugh was the old lady that kept screaming "¡FUERA!" After that, we were a bit perplexed about what this whole Siesta Mundial was all about. Luckily we have smarter blogger friends and since Mi Blog […]

We got the following video from @FunnyLatino today on our Facebook wall and we are glad we did. Román Suárez is a Bronx-born comic/actor/writer. He is one of the countless of talented individuals who have connected with our online communities. Suárez offered this video response to the New York Times piece called "Networks Struggle to Appeal […]

Last night on The Daily Show, Al Madrigal "smuggles America-style smear tactics into Mexico." Now if The Daily Show only covered #YoSoy132, THAT would be very cool.

We thought long and hard about NOT PUBLISHING this piece, because It involves a puppet; This puppet’s shtick, although sometimes funny, is coarse and we know that when we start giving this puppet attention, he will just start cursing at us and lowering the debate; Even when we suggested to the puppet that we disagreed […]

A general memo to those "independent" outlets that try to hide behind "journalism" but are just twisting the truth a bit to perpetuate fears and misinformation: please don't pretend that you are all of a sudden concerned about Latinos. Case in point, a strange story by The Daily Caller today that states: USDA uses Spanish soap […]

All you brands and people who want to succeed on Facebook should look at what the Facebook page of US Congressman Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) did this week. First off, set it up with a video for the ages (over 60,000 views in like 2 days) on the floor of Congress that got picked up by outlets […]

Dear Boston Celtics, are you kidding us? Here is what the official Twitter account of Joe Arpaio tweeted out yesterday: I appreciate the many letters regarding my Birthday, especially the letter from the Boston Celtics. twitter.com/RealSheriffJoe… — Joe Arpaio (@RealSheriffJoe) June 18, 2012 A birthday letter? A flipping birthday letter? Does anyone your PR department […]

This one is a simple one. Go to http://barackobama.com/latinos and you get this: Go to http://mittromney.com/latinos and you get this (well you GOT this for a few hours today but now http://mittromney.com/latinos takes you straight to Romney's web site): Granted, maybe the web guys at Romney 2012 don't have that URL as an official Latino outreach page, […]

Author Carmen Tafolla = Rebelde. By the way, Tafolla is San Antonio's Poet Laureate. ¡Break it down, hermana!

So, within 24 hours, here is what happened: An image gets uploaded on Facebook around lunch time. We call The New York Daily News. They respond. We break the story online. The reaction goes viral. The Puerto Rican press picks it up around 3pm EST. We contact the newspaper again and they give us a statement. The apology gets tweeted. […]
