When your country is being torn to shreds by drug-crazed gunmen, it's often nice to distract yourself with a little righteous indignation. That's what Mexico's up to with its criticism of a recent Burger King commercial for its flame-grilled Whopper topped with taco-coated chili con carne.

The ad shows a tall cowboy representing America and short wrestler representing Mexico, with a narrator saying, "The taste of Texas with a little spicy Mexican." The country's ambassador to Spain has complained to Burger King about the ads, saying they "improperly use the stereotyped image of a Mexican."

You don't see Americans complaining about being stereotyped as tall, handsome men in an extremely masculine occupation, do you?
