BoRev USA Watch

The BoRev turns up in the darndest places. Today the Chicago Sun Times writes on an ad campaign from Las Palmas Mexican Restaurant, which has featured photos of Oaxacan protesters, Coretta Scott King, and yes, Hugo Chavez, “his hand in the air, proclaiming: "Long live the Venezuelan people! Long live the socialist revolution!”

Manager Marcos Rivera says he’s proud to put a spotlight on leaders “trying to make a change to better their people.” Graphic designer Fausto Lopez acknowledges they’ve had some complaints, but he’s happy to get culturally illiterate Americans thinking about Latin America beyond “their eighth grade history book.” All that and Tecate on tap!
