Get Your Chavez Ringtone!
I love love love this.
Via the BBC:
An estimated 500,000 people have downloaded the insult featuring the words “Why don’t you shut up?”, generating a reported 1.5m euros ($2m).
King Juan Carlos asked Hugo Chavez to “shut up” at a summit in Chile last week after the president said Spain’s ex-PM Jose Maria Aznar was a “fascist”.
Branded mugs, t-shirts and websites featuring the row are also profitable.
In Venezuela, a group of students who oppose Mr Chavez’s government have also been downloading the ringtone, a US newspaper reported.
“It’s a form of protest,” a 21-year-old student in Caracas told the Miami Herald. “It’s something that a lot of people would like to tell the president.”
Amen to that, brother.
Watch the footage of Juan Carlos telling Chavez to shut it after the jump!

You people are foolish enough to think that the disrespect was simply aimed at Chavez and laugh not understanding that the King of Spain (like most Spaniards consider all Latin Americans inferior) was telling all of you “Medio Raza Bastardos” to shut up”. At least Chavez was man enough to confront the bitch.
