Mario's Mexican brother you never knew about

Look closely at the above image. Doesn't it remind you of something (hint: this)? The graphic is from a restaurant in Acapulco, Mexico, by the name of Pancho Bigotes. Pretty blatant rip-off, wouldn't you say?

Frankly, we always thought Mario strictly stuck to the vegetables, what with the mushrooms and leaves he's always eating (that might explain his recent trip into bat country), so it's kind of odd to see him holding a plate full of meat and a mug of beer.

Who would wanna sue a country where the ideal meal guarantees heartburn followed by explosive diarrhea?

Amirite?

Google Translate says bigotes means bigot.

Either that's not right or _that's not riiiiiight_.

bigote = mustache
pancho = nickname for francisco

basically, the name of the restaurant in english is loosely "Frankie Mustache's"

Pfft. Mario had a perfectly fine 'stache to begin with.

What makes it even worse, is that, it looks like all they did was put some crappy cartoon drawing over the top of a screenshot of a Mario game. Then they removed the background.Haha, Frakie's Mustache is a nice name.
