Burn, Tiziano, burn!

13498.jpgAlthough Italian crooner and all-around numbskull Tiziano Ferro had seemingly made peace with the Mexican public after the “moustache scandal”, there are some of us who just can’t forget. The beautiful Mexican city of Veracruz for one, which last night, in celebration of this year’s Carnaval, burned an effigy of Ferro to symbolize death to “bad humor”:

Before being burned, the “Mal humor” traveled the main streets of the city’s center, where he was booed by hundreds of people that congregated to kick off the celebration.

Dozens of women congregated in front of Veracruz’s City Hall and celebration with glee the symbolic act.


There is some degree of irony in the fact that this was done in Veracruz, the state known across Mexico as having some of the most beautiful women.

A chant was initiated as poor Tiziano burned:

Por hablar de la mujer
Allá en la tele italiana
De la mujer mexicana
Con ánimos de ofender
Disfrutemos el placer
De ver como su cuerpo arde
Pues quemado en esta tarde
Resultó el Tiziano
Y le gritan a Tiziano
¡Vete a chingar a tu madre!

I don’t think that needs a translation.

Other unlucky figures were burned at the stake as well, among them Veracruz’s mayor, Julen Rementería.
