Anti-emo pogroms rage throughout Mexico

March 27, 2008 9:57am

Those of you who weren't blessed by Quetzacoatl with the holy gift of Spanish skills really are missing out on quite a bit of the fun. Here are some highlights:

*The cop saying that the kids were fighting because they "belonged to different cults, or beliefs, something like that."

*The "punk" kid saying that they wanted to beat up the emos because "they are stealing our style"

and

*The fact that it wasn't the police action that dissipated the crowd, but the Hare Krishna's chanting.

God, I miss Latin America. Sometimes.

Scopolamine: "Zombie drug" and astronaut anti-puke helper

The Spanish word "Colombia" in English is still spelled "Colombia". Please make notes of the absolute absence of the letter U.


On a totally different note:
I lived in Colombia for 16 years, and while many times I heard of scopolamine referred to as "Burundanga", as correctly noted in Wikipedia, but I never heard of it called anything that would translate into Devil's Breath. Does the documentary actually state what the Spanish term is? I'm just curious.
