flashback:1933

Given that there's not a damn thing going on in the news worth blogging about (as if I had the time), I'll point you to the Memin Pinguin flap down in ol' Mexico. Just months after Vicente Fox ate his foot with his 'Mexicans take the jobs that "not even blacks" want' comment, the Mexican government puts out a series of stamps that is blackface-level offensive...commemerating a comic book character that is still published.

Later this year, watch for the Mexican government's commemorative Ted Danson stamp series.
