    México reclamó a Burger King

    Por usar bandera nacional en publicidad
    México reclamó a la empresa Burguer King por usar la bandera mexicana en su publicidad

    "Texican Whopper"

    El embajador de México en España, Jorge Zermeño, dijo en Radio Fórmula que envió el lunes una carta a Burger King para pedirle que retire la publicidad de su hamburguesa "Texican Whopper".

    En los anuncios que comenzaron a exhibirse en España aparecen un vaquero alto junto a un hombre rechoncho disfrazado de luchador con una máscara, un traje y una capa con los colores de la bandera mexicana, con la cual también aparece en algunos carteles.

    Bajo el lema "Unidos por el destino", el uso del vaquero texano y el luchador mexicano busca representar la mezcla de sabores del producto.



    Zermeño consideró que la campaña "denigra a nuestros sÃ*mbolos patrios y utiliza indebidamente la imagen del mexicano con un estereotipo que tampoco debe ser".

    Dijo que la campaña publicitaria comenzó a ser utilizada en España, aunque no descartó que esté en otras naciones europeas.

    "Es un estereotipo que siempre nos ponen, que no se vale ni corresponde a lo que somos", añadió sobre la imagen del luchador.

    La lucha libre es un espectáculo que arrastra multitudes en México en el cual combaten hombres y mujeres ataviados con disfraces, máscaras o sencillamente asumiendo identidades ficticias. Las televisoras del paÃ*s lo difunden incluso en sus transmisiones internacionales.

    Además de carteles publicitarios, el vaquero y el luchador chaparro son presentados como compañeros de cuarto en un anuncio televisivo que puede verse en el sitio visit4info.com.

    Burger King ad angers Mexican ambassador

    Mon Apr 13, 2009 10:39pm EDT

    MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A Burger King advertisement for new Tex-Mex style hamburgers, which features a squat Mexican draped in his country's flag and an American cowboy, has offended Mexican officials who want the spot pulled.

    Mexico's ambassador to Spain said posters for the new "Texican whopper," a cheeseburger with chili and spicy mayonnaise, inappropriately display the Mexican flag, which is draped over the diminutive wrestler like a pancho.

    "This advertisement denigrates the image of our country and uses improperly Mexico's national flag," Jorge Zermeno wrote in a letter to Burger King in Spain, the Reforma newspaper reported on Monday.

    The ambassador contacted the local offices of Burger King after he saw the posters in Spain, Reforma said. The burger is only available in Europe, according to the paper.

    Mexico has strict laws prohibiting the defamation of the flag, Zermeno said. He asked Burger King to cancel the ad campaign that "offends Mexicans and Mexico."

    The Miami-based fast-food chain Burger King was not immediately available to comment.

    Last year, Sweden's Absolut vodka angered many U.S. citizens with a publicity campaign in Mexico that idealized an early 19th century map showing chunks of the United States as part of Mexico. The campaign was later dropped.

    In the actual video he is not wearing a Mexican flag. He is wearing a cape of the same colors of the Mexican flag. But I dont think Mexico is upset about the cape even if it is a Mexican flag. I think they are upset that the Mexican is like HALF the height of the cowboy. LOL!!!!!. That is really what they are upset about, but they dont want to admit it.

    Whittier area students from Pioneer, California and Whittier high schools walked out of classes to protest the proposed federal immigration bill March 27, 2006. The protestors put up the Mexican flag over the American flag flying upside down at Montebello High. (Leo Jarzomb/Staff photo)

    And worst of all, a proud young American girl of Mexican heritage,
    wrapped in an American flag, is vilified by her Latino "sisters".
    By the way, you do remember that Irving, TX, is home
    of the Dallas Cowboys - "America's Team"????
