Just another day, just another gigolo on the subway in Mexico DF — with music. How does this guy’s performance rate compared to the David Lee Roth derivative cover version — or Louis Prima’s Just A Gigolo totally happening classic original? Check out their vids here:

If you’re a Brooklyn bodybuilder who is gonna demonstrate how to make a Mexican Firing Squad cocktail for the Internets, make sure you’re topless and flip your man-boobs at the end of the video.
Here’s the recipe from PunchDrink.com:

Leandra Becerra Lumbreras, reportedly the oldest person in the world, turned 127 on Sunday, at her Zapopan home in the Mexican state of Jalisco. This raw footage comes from RU.TV, the Berlin-based Russian-owned TV network.
Here’s their shot log, including translations:

We didn’t see you yesterday in Jerome Richfield 118 at 3:30, hermana. We passed out these flyers, you know.
PREVIOUSLY ON MEChA:
Pocha Anjelah Johnson from San Jose (408 shout-out!) may not speak Spanish, but she doesn’t speak Puerto Rican either. [This video was one of our most popular and then got yanked from YouTube. We just found this alternate version online, apparently video’d right off someone’s TV.]
Over at LatinoRebels.com, Bella Vida Letty says Anjelah’s new video has her performing in “brown face.”
Here’s the video she objects to. What do you think?
Mas…Anjelah Johnson: No, sorry, I don’t speak Puerto Rican (4 videos)
College is not so hard to understand, even for idiots like you, so long as you watch this video!
PREVIOUSLY ON IDIOT’S GUIDE:
America’s love affair with the burrito (a wheat flour tortilla wrapped or folded into a cylindrical shape to completely enclose the filling, according to Wikipedia) has moved the tubular tummy-buster from the kitchen to the bakery, as this burrito-styled cake demonstrates.
PREVIOUSLY ON BURRITOS:
Mas…It’s a cake! It’s a burrito! It’s a pinche CAKE BURRITO! (video)
Frijoles, as you may recall, are good for your heart, and here’s why.
Ever have an awkward moment when you have to pretend to be an Anglo at the taqueria because you don’t speak Spanish? Alfonso “White Boy Mexican” Ochoa reports.
Last month we published the powerful essay Maybe I grew up in a Latino and African-American neighborhood by Navarro, the Chicago-based hiphop artist formerly known as Scheme. Now it’s back, with music:
(PNS reporting from MASSACHUSETTS) A burrito is not a sandwich, you idiots, according to a court decision announced here last week.
Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Locke made the ruling as he threw out a lawsuit brought by a Panera restaurant seeking to stop White City Shopping Center in Shrewbsury from leasing space to a franchisee of the Qdoba Mexican Grill chain.
Panera’s lease prevents the center from renting space to a (competing) sandwich shop.
[The judge] cited Webster’s Dictionary as well as testimony from a chef and a former high-ranking federal agriculture official in ruling that Qdoba’s burritos and other offerings are not sandwiches.
Now that Obama has been elected and re-elected, we’re in a post-racial society, right? And the death of an [another] unarmed black teenager at the hand of a white cop isn’t about race at all. Anti-American liberals, you see, are playing the race card again. Jon Stewart explains.
With FIFA2014 World Cup futbol now nothing but a memory, Brazilian athletes have revived the traditional sport of butting heads with sheep. But don’t call these guys butt heads!
That symbol we used to call the “number sign” or “pound sign” that they now call as “hash sign” — # — is ruining social media. All the cool kids have switched over to what we used to call the “percent sign” — % — to make social media a better place for you and me, especially me. Try the new % F*ckyer sign and find out yourself! [NSFW adult language.]
Apparently more white people believe in ghosts than in racial discrimination. Boo, mothafuckas! http://t.co/lpgODpUzHh

The late Chicano musical pioneer Lalo Guerrero called out Hollywood on its racist casting practices on last century’s Culture Clash TV show.
Drones are chasing our Emeritus Editor Elise Roedenbeck (she’s @buttronica on the Tuiter) for all the wrong reasons. Here’s how she hides, and how you can hide too. [Editor’s note: I can’t tell you the right reason because then Ms. Buttronica would have to kill me and I think that could be quite painful.]

Italian artist MISTERTHOMS paints a mural in Italy.
With inexpensive remote-controlled drones (typically quadcopters) mounted with small, lightweight digital cameras, previously unseen vistas can be captured and shared as videos and stills. This video shows the Monument to the Mexican Revolution in the Plaza de la República in downtown Mexico City. [Click on the photos to enlarge.]
Indian-American comic Hari Kondabolu is looking forward to 2042, when white Americans will only be 49% of the population.
