Mexico's contested presidential election of 2006 is still causing fissures in society. The recent protests over the price of tortillas and the president's (Felipe Calderon) crackdown (or stopgap measures) against the narcotrafficantes are examples of the political disagreements that exist in today's Mexico.
However, it is always interesting to see how 'everyday' people manifest their dislike or agreement with what's happening in society, so I was quite pleased when I came across this very original and creative way of demonstrating on a recent Sunday in front of the Palacio de Bellas Artes.
The caption in the picture reads: Be Careful! Don't Step on this Shit! The cleverness comes in the play on words by using the FE of Felipe and CAL of Calderon to create another meaning, in this fecal matter. Whether or not you agree with this sentiment is another matter.
