I saw this on the Daily show and thought it was pretty funny. (http://www.wlbt.com/Global/story.asp?S=7179550&nav=2CSf)
Taco Bell Going To Mexico
Are mexican citizens ready for Americanized versions of their own foods?
Taco Bell is opening a store in Monterrey, Mexico and plans to open more.
Company officials say they know they'll have a tough time selling
traditional foods, so their new slogan in Mexico is "Taco Bell is something
else." Apparently to prevent comparisons with traditional mexican dishes.
It's not the first attempt. Back in 1992, Taco Bell's stores failed in
Mexico less than two years after opening.
