Historic Chihuahua Dies At Fifteen

Ernesto "Che" Tacobelldog, (June 14, 1994 – June 21, 2009) commonly known as Che Tacobelldog, El Tacobelldog, or simply Tacobelldog, was a Latin-American fast-food revolutionary, politician, author, physician, military theorist, and guerrilla leader. His stylized image has become a ubiquitous global symbol of fast-food counterculture.

As a young medical student, Tacobelldog traveled throughout Latin America and was transformed by the endemic hunger he witnessed. His experiences and observations during these trips led him to conclude that the region's ingrained culinary inequalities were an intrinsic result of monopoly capitalism, neocolonialism, and imperialism, with the only remedy being world fast-food revolution. This belief prompted his involvement in fast food's social reforms.

Tacobelldog was a prolific writer and diarist, composing a seminal cookbook on the theory and practice of fast-food guerrilla warfare, along with what later became a best-selling memoir about his motorcycle journey across South America. Tacobelldog left Latin America in 1999 to incite revolutions first in an unsuccessful attempt in Burgerland and later in Chickenia, where he was nearly captured by counter-revolutionary forces assisted by the CIA.

Notorious as a ruthless disciplinarian who unhesitatingly bit defectors, yet revered by supporters for his loud barking of professed doctrines, Tacobelldog remains a controversial and significant historical figure. As a result of his perceived martyrdom, poetic invocations for class struggle, and desire to create the consciousness of a "new snack" driven by "moral" rather than "material" incentives, Tacobelldog evolved into a quintessential icon of leftist-inspired fast-food movements.

Ironically and in contradiction with his ideology, Tacobelldog's visage was also reconstituted as a global marketing emblem and insignia within popular culture. He has been mostly venerated and occasionally reviled in a multitude of biographies, memoirs, books, essays, documentaries, songs, and films. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential dogs of the 20th century, while an Alberto Korda photograph of him entitled "Perrito Heroico," was declared "the most famous photograph in the advertising world."

It was only in death that Tacobelldog was revealed to be a female. Her longtime companion revealed the truth at her funeral today, quoting the world's most famous chihuahua, "Life is a bitch."

"Taco Bell's top dog dies at 15"
Sunset Blvd dog walk.

' Gidget, the 15-year-old dog best known for her Taco Bell ad campaign, died of a stroke Tuesday in Los Angeles, California, said Sue Chipperton, her trainer. Uttering the words "Yo Quiero Taco Bell," Gidget, a female dog, played a male dog in the commercials. She was cast as the girlfriend of the Taco Bell Chihuahua, but the director changed his mind at the last minute and made Gidget the lead dog, Chipperton said. Chipperton worked with Gidget since she was an 8-week old pup and traveled everywhere with the dog. Gidget even opened the New York Stock Exchange. Roles were hard to come by for the pooch after her popularity soared from the Taco Bell ads, according to her trainer. "She was kind of typecast, so she never really got much work after that," Chipperton said. Gidget was cast in the 2003 film, "Legally Blonde 2." She also had a role as an extra in the 2008 animal-themed movie, "Beverly Hills Chihuahua." '

"TBWA/Chiat/Day loses Taco Bell $30.2 million"
That's a lot of taco's.

' A federal jury has ordered Taco Bell to fork over $30.2 million to the two men who sued the restaurant over copyright theft over spots produced by TBWA/Chiat/Day for the Taco Bell Chihuahua. We thought Advertising Agencies were supposed to MAKE clients money, not get them sued and forced to hand over 30 million dollars due to lack of original ideas and copyright theft. '

"Taco Bell Dog Dies; 'Gidget' Was Blessing to Some, Offensive to Others"
They would have preferred, maybe, the Taco Bell Ricardo Montalban?

' Though the pint-size dog was popular, some Hispanic groups found the concept a tad unsavory. Critics included Gabriel Cazares, the former mayor of Clearwater, Florida, and a leader of LULAC, who once said, "If Taco Bell wanted to depict someone that would reflect Mexican culture, we have many live, two-legged artists, singers, dancers, musicians -- some great people in America -- that could have been selected to give a testimonial."

FUNERAL JUST SHOW: KING OF POP
MOVES IN WITH THE PALINS



SARAH PALIN HAS TURNED TRIG OVER TO
MICHAEL JACKSON FOR "POP THERAPY"

Love-Starved Star Just Wanted Attention, Offered To Solve Palin's Money Problems

Two of the new millenium's great mysteries were solved in one shot today, as Michael Jackson sat up in his coffin and began singing, then danced his way through astonished crowds and into a waiting chopper which whisked him to LAX behind a huge LAPD helicopter escort. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was there at the airport with her new corporate jet, Chosen-1, a gift from Jackson, to whisk the freshly resurrected musician off to the new home she will share with Jackson in the 49th State: The Wasilla Dome, recently purchased and specially redone as a kiddie playland by Michael Jackson in return for full custody of all male children in the extended Palin family under the age of puberty. Palin's daughter is now pregnant and hoping for another boy for the King Of Pop.

"It's like the parting of the Red Sea, or velcro, or just a damned miracle" the Governor gushed. "Michael is backing my run for the Presidency next year, and I'm helping him with his problems, and by golly, the Lord sure moves in mysterious ways! Together, we'll have this country straightened out in no time, you betchya!" she finished with a wink.

Jackson's publicists apologized to fans, saying that Michael felt that he needed to see if his fans still loved him, and to reboot his career. One of his security doubles volunteered to undergo an autopsy in Jacko's place. He will be buried tomorrow with a copy of Jackson's new CD. Sales of the CD are now through the roof, proving Jackson's career revival strategy worked. Republicans across the nation praised Palin's new patron, and invited him to Klan meetings across the country, now that he is white, and born again.

MICHAEL JACKSON IS NOT DEAD

.
"KING OF POP" IS ALIVE & WELL & RECOVERING FROM REANIMATION



BEVERLY HILLS PLASTIC SURGEON SAVES JACKO'S LIFE

Jackson's Face, Organs Transplanted To Farrah Fawcett's Body

Noted Southern California cosmetic surgeon Hartun "Tooney" Hartoonian, PD, today announced the reanimation of formerly dead pop star Michael Jackson, formerly of the Jackson Family, formerly of the big time. "Well, you wanted to know where all his money has gone: Here it is!" the doctor announced at 5pm Friday local time at the Hotel Wilshire Beverly where he has engaged a suite in the name of King O. Pop, flummuxing all the paparazzi. "I've got the whole bloody Beatles' catalogue, now!"

"Michael wanted to live forever as a white woman. He was just waiting for the right white woman. Farrah Fawcett's untimely death was a lucky break for Michael, as her body was still in good condition, thanks to regular treatments by me with monkey gland extracts (though her face had seen better days after a prolonged bout of cancer and insufficient income for plastic surgery in over twenty years). Farrah was just what he was looking for! Her family will receive a large cash donation, though not as much as Michael might have paid to rape their little boys. Michael has asked me to solicit donations of new little boys, as he is now anatomically a woman. More or less. And still very, very rich."

"His, er, her face will require some additional work, which we hope the Obama Plan will pay for. Otherwise, he will have to live with it. I mean, it wasn't a perfect match, I admit. But Mr. Jackson is down to his last hundred million, and I can't be bothered if the government is not going to pick up the slack."

Ms. Fawcett's remains will be interred in a bucket on the Neverland Ranch by Jermaine & Tito Jackson, who have taken control of the Jackson estate. They have also announced plans for a new video where they rip off their sister Janet's clothing at the Superbowl. Ms. Jackson was unavailable for comment at press time. Her plastic surgeon was out of town.
