    This is good, Jesse. Staying away from political stuff is the best way of not being branded a right winger.

    1. Achtung Coma Baby   15 years ago

      He's making an ironic statement about wetbacks, you idiot. Of course, it's political!

      1. Max   15 years ago

        I guess, ultimately, everything is. This is safe political.

    It's not enough they steal our jobs, but our beloved intellectual property?

    1. Achtung Coma Baby   15 years ago

      I think these nacho monkeys should pack up their shit and move back to Mexico. I'm tired of having to read their menus in Mexican!

      1. Dagny T.   15 years ago

        It's times like this I miss LoneWacko. This IllegalMexican effrontery will not stand! NAFTASuperHighway!!1!

    And here they are doing "Gimme all your lovin"

    This is like one of those logical paradoxes Capt. Kirk uses to make computers explode. Only it makes nativist Alabama football fan rednecks explode instead. And I approve of that.

  8. Greer   15 years ago

    I like how they keep the Neil Young part in. Usually when I hear that song covered, they leave it out. Which makes it even better being sung by a Mexican.

    1. Achtung Coma Baby   15 years ago

      Even retarded people like Mexicans can understand that Neil Young, while quite talented, what douchely pretentious when he recorded "Southern Man."

      1. Greer   15 years ago

        diagree, great song

    2. Franklin Harris   15 years ago

      You don't spend enough time in bars in the Deep South, where Southern men still don't need him around, anyhow.

      1. Greer   15 years ago

        they probably don't know that is was meant to be a joke.

  9. Michael   15 years ago

    I will see your Friday Fun Mexican Skynrd and raise you this..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeZlih4DDNg
