Memín Pinguín
Politics Buzz A racist Mexican comic was pulled from the shelves of a Houston Wal-Mart after a customer complained. The Memin Pinguin first sparked controversy in the US when Mexico issued a postage stamp featuring the character which the White House decreed as offensive. It is surprising that a company known for refusing to carry music and movies with questionable ‘values’ would chose to carry such a blatantly controversial comic book.
