Chow Thousands of Tacos Visited Upon Racist-y Mayor

Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Fri, Jan 27, 2012 at 1:01 PM

That mayor who said that racist-y thing—when asked about his support for Latino rights, he responded he “might have some tacos” for dinner—has gotten more than 2000 tacos delivered to his office in protest. (Doesn't that seem like more of a reward than a punishment?) Another report notes:

The taco onslaught has only just begun: activists have pledged to send one more for each person who texts the word “taco” to 69866.

Not sure how that works—text the word "taco" at your own risk. Here the mayor fumblingly expands upon the apology he issued:

What do we have to say to get a tanker of poutine over here?

"I hate the French Canadians so much, and I dismiss their opinions in all matters. I intend to eat poutine this evening."

Its what's IN those tacos that I'd be worried about.

Do like Megan did when you guys needed a bunch of free Deathcake Royales delivered - write a rave about poutine made by one of your advertisers, Smith or Skillet or whichever, then voila: your tanker o'curdy taters arrives toot sweet.

Tell Jean-Guy Rubber Boots to have a Joe Louis and a Pepsi and shut the fuque up.

So the idea is to give him free food? Seems like better ways to protest.

@6: Really. Send him rotted fish tacos. This is objectively worse than doing nothing.

Sending them delicious food UPS THEIR MORALE, MORONS.

-Will say dumb things for free tacos.

Those damned Hawaiians and their damned loco moco are ruining traditional marriage! (I prefer the chicken variety, please.)

@1, you have to speak it in French. Bad French at that. And if you want extra gravy and cheese curds you have to include the separatists.
