LatinWorks: Workin' It

Austin-based advertising firm LatinWorks scored a major honor last week. The local company earned a bronze lion from the Cannes International Advertising Festival for its "Classroom" commercial featured during Super Bowl XLI. Why let Saatchi & Saatchi have all the fun? According to the synopsis provided by the folks at Cannes, the "spot showcases Carlos Mencia's comedic humor to demonstrate that the love for Bud Light crosses any cultural boundary."

Lesson learned: never let your cultural identity be an impediment for enjoying a refreshing, low-calorie American beer product. Now, please enjoy the critically-acclaimed and award-winning "Classroom."

    This is a horrible commercial. Not because of Carlos necessarily, but it certainly doesn't help. How could this possibly win an INTERNATIONAL advertising award?



    It's not clever. "No speak english," that's the punchline?!

    There's been talk going around for a while about Carlos stealing jokes, but this is absolute proof and the very worst example of Carlos stealing a joke from someone: http://youtube.com/watch?v=YFCy1syW8Nc
