Heat Things Up With Desire at the Blanton [Art Preview]
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."

Carlos Mencia should be drawn and quartered. And gagged
Uh, er, well, um, see here.
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
He's not even de Mejico! Snap!
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?!
