Stiffs of the Week: All Spanish People


As I type this the US Basketball team is getting ready to take on Spain in what some people think is a golden preview. Of course the Spaniards have drawn a lot of criticism over the last week for the ad that ran in Spain showing the team all pulling their eyes back to mimic Chinese appearance. Not only did the Mens team to it, but also the women, and the tennis team. Christ! It's pretty bad when you make the American NBA guys look like choirboys, especially when you consider that Kobe raped a white chick in the ass. Allegedly...

I'd love to give the Spanish team a taste of their own medicine by mocking something about them, but as it turns out, Mexico and Puerto Rico have been doing that for two centuries now. Plus, Spain is totally devoid of anything notable to mock. When I think of Spain all I get is: Don Quixote, Spanish from "Old School", and Maximus Decimus Meridius, the Spaniard who be came a general who toppled an Emperor. My only other image of Spanish people is a slick haired Lothario who reeks of cologne and spends too much time on his personal grooming. And even that they stole from the Italians.
