Halftime in America: The Chrysler Ad Parody

Post to Twitter

Now that Clint Eastwood's Chrysler "Halftime" video is now over 6 million views, you know there would be parodies.

Here is one from Reason TV.

Both teams are listening to a Madonna performance that sounds eerily similar to a Lady Gaga song they'll hear 10 years from now.


It's halftime in America too.


People are out of work and they're hurting.


And they're wondering where all their money went.


Well, $12.5 billion of it went to Chrysler. In the form of a bailout.


But it's okay, because Chrysler is all-American.


Though technically 58.5% of Chrysler is owned by an Italian corporation.


And Chrysler manufactures many of it's vehicles in Canada. And Mexico.


But I guess that doesn't make for a great commercial.


Unlike polar bears. Or dogs. Or that digestive yogurt.


Yeah, Americans are hurting.


And their dollars are being used to bail out the chosen ones.


Instead of themselves.


What happened to freedom?


What happened to choice?


Yeah. 


We need to guard them like Ben Roethlisberger's friend guards a bathroom door.


Allegedly.

Our Friends at @mycuentame Share Powerful Video: “How To Take On Greedy Banks!”

Post to Twitter

Our friends at Cuéntame share another power video with their community.

The time to stop what banks are doing is now.

Discuss on Facebook.

Share it here.

In 2008, Arturo de los Santos, a former Marine who lives with his wife and four children in Riverside, CA, fell victim to the economic crash caused by the greed of those on Wall Street. Like millions of Americans, he faced the prospect of mortgage default. Arturo was then encouraged by JPMorgan Chase & Co. to deliberately fall behind on his payments in order to modify his loan. A loan owned by Freddie Mac. Thinking the bank had his best intentions in mind, Arturo followed their instructions. Instead, JPMorgan greedily foreclosed on him, evicting Arturo and his family. Since then, Arturo has decided to fight back and re-occupy his home, even as he faces the possibility of arrest! 

Arturo could be forcefully removed from his house at any time. Cuéntame and the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE) are working together to spread Arturo's story as wide as possible and tell JP Morgan and Freddie Mac that the abuse must end today! We need your help.

Dear Sara Bareilles: “Gonna Get Over You” Music Video Just Doesn’t Feel Right

Post to Twitter

Here are at Latino Rebels, we love música! All types, from Vallenato, Rap, Boleros, Corridos, Morrissey, Rock en Español etc. We also keep out an open ear for upcoming talent that might be worth sharing.

Unfortunately, this is not one these times. As we began to watch this video by Sara Bareilles called "Gonna Get Over You," we couldn’t help to notice that its set in a Mexican grocery store. So we thought it showed some promise, well that was our mistake. We were hopeful.

We could not put our finger on why it bothered us so much.

Until a comment by one of our fans, Alex Mendoza, owner of  Calaveras y Corazones , made us realize our instant reaction was a correct one.

“Witness as Sara Bareilles (A white woman from Eureka, CA. I checked.) knocks Mexicans down in their own neighborhood and recreates them in her own Fonzie-inspired image. Literally. It's an assimilation fantasy in which she strips various raza of their cultural and individual identities and transforms them into a homogenized (silent) back up choir– present only to provide window dressing for her performance and used to comedic effect."-Alex Mendoza

We could not have said it mejor ourselves! Kudos to Alex Mendoza for speaking out!

Oh, and before we forget,  Sara Bareilles, please try again!
