Wallbanger Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Not sure what to make of this, but it's interesting... [url]http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17741206/?GT1=9145[/url] [QUOTE]TIJUANA, Mexico - Mexican wrestling star El Hijo del Santo has picked a new fight — this time on behalf of Baja California state's environment. Working with the environmental nonprofit group Wildcoast, the masked professional wrestler last week toured the Tijuana slum of Canyon de los Laureles. Garbage and sewage from the slum tumble into the Tijuana river, which serves at the border between Mexico and the United States. "For me, it's a pleasure to kick off this campaign with Wildcoast and use my persona to spread the message of caring for our seas and environment to the authorities and the people," he said before heading south to the lakeside village of San Ignacio.[/QUOTE]
PeterHilton Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 This is great. El Santo was one of the most famous and beloved athletes in Mexican history. His son isn't quite as famous, but is still a national icon. Wrestlers are considered more "legitimate" in Mexico. This is like any famous athlete doing environmental PSA's.
weirdo_man Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Too bad his wrestling name isn't "Captain Planet"... except in spanish.
