Politically incorrect humor

So, being in a bad mood brings out the twisted in me. To cheer myself up, this morning I downloaded and watch several times this very politically incorrect episode of Speedy Gonzalez and laughed out loud. It's from 1962. It's one of those characters that is shown as an example of racist cartoons, which of course fails to account for its popularity in Latin America. With B., we analyzed the best stoner mouse ever, and we realized that the poor thing just got the munchies throughout the episode. If you don't want to pay to download the episode, here is the best clip: SlowPoke Rodriguez singing "La Cucaracha". And notice the pot reference at the end. Poor little thing!
Enjoy, while I try to concentrate on something more productive (no pun intended).

    1. We loved him too. I actually showed the clip in my language class, next to Cheech and Chong, and had the best class of the semester so far.
