An example of poor taste.




The Mexican media was having a party (or perhaps should I say, a fiesta?) over this poster. Newspapers like Mural and Reforma were featuring this poster on their front pages. This poster was distributed to clinics around England by a group called Marie Stopes. It is part of a campaign to reduce trips to Mexico. Oh! Wait no... It is a campaign to create awareness and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. A spokesperson for Marie Stopes issued a statement saying that they never intended to insult Mexico, or Mexican culture, in any way.
