next is taco bell going to be under attack is the tilted pill pub franchise i think a language like a climatologist disney also tried this with dia de los went though so they also tried some copyright the day of the dead which is also something that is culturally sacre to people specifically in mexico you make money the way that you want to make money and that's fine but this is like cultural appropriation. ok we might be past the new year's celebrations but there is one thing the internet just can't seem to like the u.s. central command street about new york's famous drop the bull celebration. few. times square tradition rings in the new year by dropping the big move if heaven needed we're ready to drop something much much bigger.
