Fausta Wertz brought the story of "Peatonito" to my attention.
It is the kind of story that makes you laugh and confirms the power of Twitter:
"If you ever get stuck in gridlock at an intersection in this crowded capital city, you can't expect help from a street cop. But you might try "Peatónito," the protector of pedestrians who dresses as a Mexican wrestler.
When a car blocks a crosswalk, from out of nowhere appears Peatónito ("little pedestrian" in Spanish), in a cape and wrestler's mask. He stands directly in front of the car and tries to push it back with his bare hands—often to the astonishment of the drivers. If a motorbike is parked on the sidewalk blocking the way, Peatónito lifts it up and puts it on the curb where it belongs.
No crosswalk at an intersection? No problem: Peatónito travels with a can of white paint and a few official-looking stencils, ready to paint the crosshatches where they might be needed. It is a pity he can't be everywhere at once.""
My question is this: Can "Peatonito" turn into "Petrolito" and save Mexico from that monstrosity named PEMEX? Can he convince his countrymen that PEMEX is the #1 reason keeping Mexico as a 3rd world country? Open up PEMEX and there won't be enough hotel rooms in Mexico for investors willing to invest in the country's energy fields!
