    I see what you're saying...but I think either could work really.

    "Tired of the crappy work everyday?"

    I know air conditioned seats reduces my frustrations with the mexicans.

    Tired of crackers? Try a bubblebath.

    I heard that after extensive market research, the dealership re-issued the ads with the tag line changed to:

    "Tired of sweaty BEANER backs?

    It's kinda clever, but obviously wrong. Probably got people to take another couple of seconds looking at the ad, though. And, unfortunately because this guy was an idiot, the dealership just had to add another layer of useless bureaucracy.

    I don't know; I think you'd have to expense them right away.

    Kind of silly, but can understand why an apology was issued...That being said, should have proofed the ad...

    Kind of off topic but, do Hispanics have an Al Sharpton? If not, they need one, it would be wildly entertaining.

    AND

    I hate Wet Backs, it's like that ad was written specifically for me.

    I wonder what my dad would feel about this...

    He claims he swam across the river.

    The person should have been fired for stupidity not racism.
