In my book it's a little late, but better late than never.

MySpace is a winner in any demographic, which I guess leaves some wondering why it would go after a specific demographic and cater to it thus so...in this case Spanish speaking Latinos.  I think I could understand the surface argument of what the writer is saying:  why not have a universal MySpace.  But...in what Language?   Assuming that the same strokes are for all folks is ignorant and plain wrong, in other words you are living in a dream world.  Reality is there are many Latinos in the US who prefer to speak Spanish (not to say anything of those in the islands, South and Central America).

So why not a Myspace Latino, and a MySpace Korean...why not a MySpace in every language?  A true social network appreciates our differences and seeks to unite them, not wipe them out.

Sidenote:  Isn't it strange that computer applications such as MySpace is now part of our Culture? 

"If you can't beat them, join them."

McDonalds:  The King of Fast Food Opportunists.  An effort to catch the young Latino market, and some fetish about eating fries in the air.

Leaving their cozy nook of bare legged models garnered in high-striped tube socked, panties and a t-shirt, American Apparel uses immigration within their ads:

"At American Apparel, we agreed with the President's call for immigration reform, so why has nothing been done for the last three years? ....It's time to give a voice to the voiceless. Businesses are afraid to speak to the media about immigration, frightened of reprisals by government agencies.... At what point are we going to recognize that the status quo amounts to an apartheid system? At what point will America stop living in a state of denial?"

Edgy?  Ballsy?  Sick of the status quo?  I think they have done more here than Congress has done in the past few years.

Mas.
