Mexico: an industrial junk-food product called "Hip Hop"

Marinela has just released an industrial junk-food product called "Hip Hop" on the Mexican market. "The wrong and misinformed representation of a culture is synonymous with backwardness and a lack of self-respect," Quilombo: Arte en Resistencia informs us.

Mexico City's top lyricist BocaFloja (click on his name to hear his latest album MP3s) emailed me this info about wrong product whose brand name I don't want to mention again. You can't help wondering if it was indeed a marketing strategy to cause some controversy with the most outspoken members of society (and target market? YOUTH). Oh what a cynical world I live in.

But the message remains: Denounce disrespect! Rip it up!
