You insensitive dolts!
 
No mention of this here?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Handlers say Gidget the Chihuahua, whose Taco Bell commercials made her a star, has died. She was 15.
The owner of Studio Animal Services in Castaic says Gidget suffered a massive stroke late Tuesday at her trainer’s home in Santa Clarita and had to be euthanized.
Gidget was the sassy mascot in Taco Bell commercials from 1997 to 2000. While other dogs had bit parts, it was her bug-eyed, big-eared face that is seen pronouncing, in a dubbed male voice, “Yo quiero Taco Bell,” Spanish for “I want Taco Bell.”
The ads made the Taco Bell mascot wildly popular, although they provoked some criticism from activists who felt they used Mexican stereotypes.
Gidget also had a role in the movie “Legally Blonde 2.”


My world is crumbling!

It was! They had to say that otherwise Gidgets offspring would be demanding royalties.

All this flap over MJ and what notice does poor Gidget get... she changed the world for sure!

Gidget is more deserving of a gold-plated coffin and ceremony at the Staples Center than MJ.

Anyone else wondering if Taco Bell is looking to pad their profit margins by "recycling" a little dog meat into their burritos? I wouldn't put it past 'em.

my cat thinks it's to much hype for something that ain't even a real dog, but a rat.
