[email fragment] For some reason I found myself watching the Cartoon Network last night, a program called "¡Mucha Lucha!" which is of course a sort of Anime-ish (my best descriptor, but probably wrong) cartoon about a school for masked Mexican-style wrestlers. All the characters speak a sort of Spanglish. ("I think that's buena!" etc.) The weird bit is that neither the creators nor the voice-actors (with one or two exceptions) seem to be Latino. All told I didn't know whether to be excited or troubled. I read somewhere how Latin American culture's up next to be strip-mined by the powers of mass-pop-culture-production so this might be one of the opening shots.
