Icon10 “¡Yo quiero 42 million!” Taco Bell has to pay the former Chihuahua mascot

Remeber the Taco Bell dog?(Famous for using the line “¡Yo quiero Taco Bell" )
Well last time we saw the poor faithful Chihuahua mascot he was in a Geico commercial auditions going..."Oh, great, a talking gecko."

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/...s/6231821.html

Looks like the Chihuahua's luck has changed! $42 million from the Taco Bell lawsuit. He won't be broke anytime soon. Wonder what he will spend it on..maybe some luxurious dog treats.

( I miss the Taco Bell Chihuahua mascot commercials. Biggest mistake Taco Bell did to not try and save him since he helped them earn a huge amount of profit!
I still have some of the plushes of him. I really miss that Chihuahua. )

I'm sorry. I don't know much Spanish.

All I know is "Culo pequena" (pretty cool), and "Carajo Pequena" (pretty car).

I know because a lot of Puerto Rican girls say I have a pretty car.

I remember the Geico commercial. In this day of litigation bonanza, I was under the impression that things of that nature were taken care of.

I'm not familiar many of the colloquilisms of the Pueto Rican dialect or cursing in general but I don't think it means what they are telling you.

It looks like you are being ridiculed OR are trying to have some fun here.
pequeno/a = small
culo = rear end

carajo = you are a piece of s**t

I think Meggles caught onto your little stunt. Sneaky and a bit mean spirited. Culo is second nature to some of us and is mentioned in a lot of reggaeton songs.
Tan cruel. hehe

The owner is the one who is REALLY getting paid. And there aren't any laws against taking money from your celebrity pet on the books.




Actually, I take that back. Give it a few weeks and PETA will say something.
