"Mexican workers hold signs reading 'Don't Buy Gringo Products. Long live the Boycott,' as they demonstrate in Mexico City, Friday April 28, 2006. A demonstration Friday by thousands of Mexican workers to promote union solidarity turned into a protest against America's vast influence on the nation's economy, with many protesters saying they will take part in a boycott of all things 'gringo' next week.

Just for that, I'm going to celebrate "Not One Damn Inch Of Tuck And Roll" Day!

And who really cares? Let me run look it up in the New England Journal of Who Gives a Rat's a$$.

"Halt the repression of the Fox government?!?!?" LOL! These idiots don't know what repression is - if a Hugo Chavez ally ever comes to power, they are going to find out the hard way.

"a protest against America's vast influence on the nation's economy"

They're really confused.

Remember the Alamo!

Can you imagine the reaction if Americans were in the streets with signs that read, "Don't Support Wetbacks" ?

NO VACATIONS IN MEXICO!

May 1: Primero de Mayo is the Mexican national holiday that is equivalent to the U.S. Labor Day.

yeah, like they despise all the dollars the wetbax are sending southward?

[I'm ALL Right!]

No shopping at BIG LOTS and the DOLLAR STORE today. Of course that means the Chinese will suffer too, but hey...

with many protesters saying they will take part in a boycott of all things 'gringo' next week.

That's right morons, bite the hand.....

[RedBloodedAmerican]

heh. Boycott gringo products? Won't that be stealing money their friends make over here that gets sent back to Mexico? Shooting themselves in the foot, aren't they?

[reelfoot]

Screw Mexico and Mexicans.

I wouldn't buy any of their worthless, third-world products on a bet. (And I stay away from their produce for sanitary reasons.)

[FearlessFreep]

Let us boycott vacationing in Mexico. That will really get Fox's attention.

[TommyDale]

What happens when there is no sigificant result?

[unixfox]

Heck, that boycott will be easy. We don't make anything in this country anymore, and we certainly don't export anything to Mexico.

Navigate this site and see all the companies and products that Gringos can boycott made in Mexico. Maybe if the Gingos stop buying the products, the Mexican legislature will get the point:

The site is a bit out of date, but the usual suspects are still producing in Mexico. I'm sure Ford motor wants a boycott of its maquiladora on top of its bad press...
