I thought the article about Wal Mart and Teotihuacan was really intresting and something that I guess one can say I have experienced. I went to Wal Mart when I went to Puerto Vallarta and it was so werid because the one I went to had everything located in the exact place as the one I go to here in San Jose does. I didn't have to look around all crazy because I already knew where everything was! But the employees there were LITTLE KIDS!!! It was SO odd because they were kids who looked like they were at least 13!

I believe that ancient items, and locations should be preserved. So I disagree with the fact that Wal Mart has decided to plop down in an area that can teach us a lot about our ancestors and where we came from for the sake of making money. As stated many times, not everything in these areas has been dug up or found and Wal Mart being built on top of these territories obviously doesn't make things easier.

On another note, while at SFO today, I saw this advertisement for AT&T:

I saw it and it immideatly caught my eye! I saw it and immideatly thought Mexico, I then read the caption which said "Working in over 200 countries, like Mexico". This symbolic art was most likely used in order to immideatly connect ATT with Mexico without having to read the caption. I think its a very creative ad campaign. Instead of going with something stereotypical having to do with Mexico and its people, it opted to go for something very cultural in a very creative way.
