Hola! Hello and good morning fiends of Carlos Slim. Como estas? How are you (today)? Before I go in too many tangents, I thought I would share a link about another hot topic in Mexico: the rise in popularity of Mexican - Narco films: http://elzonkeyshow.com/2011/04/06/mexicos-narco-comedy-saving-private-perez-slated-for-u-s-distribution/ One has to wonder that with the rising of popularity and the extent that this will potentially influence Mexican diaspora globally; how long will it take before their government begins to "ban" this genre of film.....

The history of British media can be traced all the way back to the late 17th century with the publication of the Worcester Postman.
