11455: Advertising Week Peek 4.

Given that Advertising Week 2013 takes place during Hispanic Heritage Month, perhaps there should be a special acknowledgement to commemorate the occasion. Why, just think of the many great advertising icons that saluted Latino culture over the years.

The Frito Bandito illegally crossed the border long before it became a political issue—all for a handful of those irresistible corn chips.

The Taco Bell Chihuahua brought authenticity to the fast food chain, leading the way for later tortilla trailblazers such as Chef Lorena Garcia.

And the Talking Latina Vagina for Summer’s Eve shattered stereotypes and opened doors for cartoon coochies everywhere.

Of course, celebratory Advertising Week parties will extend invitations to Salma Hayek and Sofia Vergara.

9966: Burger King-Sized Cultural Blunders.


One final point about Burger King and its decision to dump its minority agencies in 2010: It takes extraordinary cultural cluelessness and ignorance to make Mary J. Blige and Salma Hayek look bad.





9965: Home Of The Whopper Bullshit.


Why is Mary J. Blige under attack for her Burger King spot? The commercials starring Jay Leno, David Beckham and Salma Hayek are just as awful—if not worse. And does anyone think any of these celebrities would ever eat at BK?

9847: Got Milk? Yes. Got Idea? Definitely No.


The Salma Hayek “Got Milk?” print ad was a wasted opportunity. The TV spot is worse. Does anyone believe Salma Hayek shops for groceries? If so, her billionaire husband should be beaten with full milk bottles. And who’s watching the child while mamacita goes on a cross-country search for milk? Dumb.

9822: Salma Hayek’s Got Milk.


Salma Hayek appears in the new “Got Milk?” advertisement depicted above. Really? That’s the best they could come up with for Hayek—despite all the milk references that might naturally flow from her? Lame, lazy bastards.

9325: National Hispanic Heritage Month 2011.


Unlike Black History Month, National Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 through October 15) doesn’t feature a lot of patronizing advertisements. So as a public service—as well as a display of reverence for the occasion—MultiCultClassics presents a collection of Latina ads.
