This reminds me of something that happened to one of my students last year. About half my class was made up of children of immigrants from Mexico and Honduras. One of my little boys was wearing a Mexican soccer jersey. On the front it said, "Bimbo" and on the back it had the Corona logo.
I sent my students to Gym class, and soon got a call from the Gym teacher. Her undies were in a big bundle because of the shirt. She laid into me about how the shirt was inappropriate, "Bimbo" is offensive to women, I should be sending him to the office and calling his parents ... (I teach kindergarten, mind you. The kid was 5 years old.)
Anyway, as it turns out, "Bimbo" is a brand of bread sold in Mexico, like Wonderbread. So much for the offensive shirt.
Wish I could find that photo of my sister and myself wearing Bunny Bread t-shirts. We were age 4 and 2 and it was taken when we lived in Princeton Hills. "That's what I said, Bunny Bread!"

It was totally ridiculous.
Ah! So they got us back for the Chevy Nova, eh? "No va", from what I understand, means "doesn't go".
Yay bunny bread!
Oh, no! Those poor bunnies...
When I was 14, I had a t-shirt that read: "I have the Paper Rabbit habit." That had quite a different meaning from this!
:?
