Thanks to Ask A Mexican, for the link above; another cool recent link from his site on Lou Dobbs and his racist/hygiene anxieties:

Bigotech Support

The only thing Pedro Infante, Vicente Fox, Frida Kahlo, and Carlos Salinas de Gortari had in common is that they all had mustaches. From La Gran Royal, the people that brought us Free Jolito, comes Bigotech Support. The most important thing for a Mexican is his mustache and somewhere in this world there's a company that makes mustaches, and they come with an emergency kit and a call center for technical support.
