At a bar I played at, one night a beer distributor (I forget which Mexican beer he was ditributing, but he is an American not Mexican) handed out plastic flyswatters with the Mexican flag imprinted on them for Cinco De Mayo. Some folks ( mostly of hispanic heritage)were highly offended by the gesture. I suspect he didn't really think it out when he had them made, and no one else ( not even the novelty company that made them) clued him in as to the potential controversy.Most were tossed, but I had saved a couple, but I can't find them now ( I suspect the maid found them).
