I saw the trailer for a new kiddie movie "Beverly Hills Chihuahua".
Looks like it's about a BH dog that gets sent to Mexico, on accident of course, and has to find it's way back home with the help of some dogs with some really bad effing Mexican accents.
First of all, this is another stupid storyline that has to do with the Paris Hilton phenomenon. I think that keeping dogs in purses and letting people take them into restaurants is really stupid. I do like the fact that some places will let you bring a dog to a outdoor/patio setting, but I don't care for the indoors dining experience of someone feeding a small dog on their lap at the next table.
I was channel surfing one day and say some jerk with a dog on his lap inside a restaurant. He was playing with the dog, scratching his hair and putting it up to his face. I found out later that he is some kind of plastic surgeon on that show. For a doctor, he shows that anyone can be really smart and an effing moron at the same time.
I can eat my own cat's hair, but I don't want to be in a restaurant dining on the hair of someone else's dog.
Two?
Maybe no one else will pick up on the super bad accents that the dogs of Mexico have in this film -If it were Akitas with bad Japanese accents or any other pets associated with a culture or race, there would be a public outcry for sure! If Disney did a rapping Pit bull with a strong black accent the world would stop and spin backwards. I don't think you'll hear too much from my Mexican cousins on this one!
(Remember Jarjar Binks from the Star wars movie and how people were inflamed about how he sounded like a stuttering Rastafarian?)
Three?
I bet the breeders are licking their chops looking for the tidal wave of parents looking for a Chihuahua for their stupid greedy kids, who will lose interest in the dog when it starts to shiat in their toybox, eats some homework or gets hurt when it runs in front of an uncoordinated elementary school kid.
Again, while I am not a fan of the smaller breeds of dogs for kids, I do think that they are great dogs for people who are a little more settled in their lives.
I really hate to see any animals exploited in movies or TV and see that this will be another short run on small dogs because of the media.
I just hope they don't get the treatment that the Taco Bell pooches got!
