Last week, the Latino Rebels were presented with the opportunity to write about a new web series called "The Guzman Show," which is the story about a stereotypical Mexican family that includes a cholo baby, pregnant teen and a goat, described as “a Latin-American Family Guy drenched in Tapatío hot sauce and created by a […]

¡Brillante! ¡Que lo gocen!

We have seen tons of them, and they keep on coming. It could be the Year of Shit Says when it is all said and done. Here is our new favorite one by our friends at @UnivisionNews and their YouTube Channel: iLatino's "Sh*t Politicians Say to Latinos" We agree, you don't even need a script for […]

Yesterday we reported that WeWantVoterId.Com was displaying blatantly racist imagery on their web site. This is what they posted: Well, today the site changed the image. Ok, don't blame the Mexicans and the Black convicts. Blame the Canadians! And instead of being a bit classy about it, they still have to get on the bash […]

Guest Post by Raul Ramos y Sanchez, Award-Winning Author, RaulRamos.com Just when you thought the cartoonish spectacles at the Maricopa County Sheriffs' Office could not get any more absurd, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has made another grandstand media play that could put him in the political Looney Tunes Hall of Fame. After launching a “Cold Case […]

Well, on Thursday, the first batch of #NoMames awards were handed out, and our community continues to share more candidates. Here is the second batch of products that just make us say #NoMames.   Anything that says Old El Paso just makes us sad. #NoMames   No, Hallmark, not qué funny at all #NoMames   […]

We are now convinced that ChimigangaGate has entered the realm of social media silliness, and in the case of Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank, we would suggest he go to his local Mexican restaurant and ask for a plate of humildad. Milbank, who was the one who wrote the following line: "The chimichanga? It may […]

Why do we love social media? Because we get a day like today, which started when our friend Laura from Mi blog es tu blog shared a link about Gortons en español and their lack of accents on key words in their advertising. Earlier this morning, Gorton's had uploaded this image to their site: Their […]

UPDATE, 9:48 EST: Gorton's made the edit! Good for them, now if they can only fix the bad translations, punctuation errors, and awful "ethnic marketing" crap. We got this one from Mi blog es tu blog, and we are so happy that Laura shared this with us. Looks like Gorton's has launched a Spanish site, […]

Social media is quick and social media is brutal. If you are going to use platforms like Twitter, expect to be called out, no matter who you are or what you do. EVERYONE is now a web page, and every profile is just as important as every other profile. The ability to quickly send out […]

Yes, we have now seen everything. Mississippi Rep. Steve Holland (D) introduced a house bill that wants to change geography, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Is that how you change maps? If so, we would like to introduce a bill to change Mississippi (which we can never spell) to "US […]

Marcos Lupara has a point. Just listen. Too bad this is not getting out some more, so we are sharing it here. Listen. Just preaching, he did this bit on the fly, but that is not the point. He's right. "Marcos talks about how Latinos need to acknowledge the positive members of our communities instead […]

This meme will never go away. Maybe it is time for a "Sh*t People Say" TV channel? Here is "Sh*t Reggaetoneros Say"

This is a Rebelde Public Service Announcement for all of you who need to speak Spanish to your nanny. De nada.

It was this immigration and migrant worker meme that got the Latino Rebels Facebook page over 37,000 likes and more than 31,000 shares in just a few days. This same picture also was the inspiration of many blog posts, including a feature piece in the Huffington Post's Latino Voices. We have always wanted to know […]

In the growing world of Latino alternative media, our friends at Pocho.com knocked it out of the park last night when Editor-in-Chief (and an Original Rebelde) Lalo Alcaraz made an appearance on MSNBC's Rachel Maddow show. The subject? Self-deportation, which has become a favorite them of the Mitt Romney camp these days, and the REAL […]

Ha! We got to give it up to @DanielDPortado, who during the summer was crapping all over our Twitter feed with some angry tweets. Well, now we are breathing again and now we are seeing the genius behind the original idea, the fabulous @laloalcaraz and his writing partner Esteban Zul. It doesn't hurt to see the […]
