Regular reader and contributor David O. Garcia sends me an email enquring innocently if I am "familiar with the giant Mexican caricature at the North Carolina/South Carolina border? Here is the website."Sweet Mother of God--I don't know if I should call them to sell my book or book a charter flight over there for a month-long anthropological investigation.
Pedroland with its iconic sleeping "Mexican" leaves me speechless! More soon! The Giant Sombrero--egads!
UPDATE
Equally hard to take? Be sure to read the pitch to buy.
Oh, I think the anthropological investigation is certainly in order. SOTB is a truly bizarre place, where Mexican-stereotype kitsch meets Confederate-flag-waving Dixie. If you go you must fly in either to the north or South and approach SOTB on I-95, so you can see all the billboards on the way: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:South_of_the_Border_billboards
