A Doritos advertisement that featured the Day Of The Dead (aka El Dia De Los Muertos) shocked viewers when it turned out to have some queer cast members.

The ad, run by Doritos Mexico, shows a family visiting the graveside of a dearly departed Uncle, who appears in ghost form to talk to his family.

The ghost of Uncle Alberto appears alongside another ghost, and introduces him as "Mario....my partner."

Several members of the living family gasp, except for the eldest, Uncle Alberto's sister, who applauds and says "What a miracle. I thought you'd be alone forever."








At the end of the spot, tearful viewers are shown a reassurance that "Nunca Es Tarde Para Ser Quien Eres," which is the title of the video, and translates to:

"It's never too late to be who you are."










Doritos was proud to run the commercial.

"In Mexico, the Day of the Dead is a celebration of life. It's a moment to share our respect, love, and unity for all the people we cherish, even if they are gone," the company said, according to LGBTQ Nation.

"And it's an opportunity for Doritos Mexico to celebrate love and our commitment to the LGBTQ+ community every day."
"With the commercial 'It's never late to be who you are,' we want to say that it's never too late to share your true self, and when you are ready, we will support you."








There's only one thing left to say to Doritos:

Buen chico. Gracias.

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

The video, posted on Instagram, shows a group of Iraqi sports fans standing in an airport holding a banner with Arabic and Spanish writing. The fans were there to support Iraq during their World Cup qualifier against Bolivia, which resulted in a 2-1 upset victory earlier that day.

E-cigarettes have dramatically increased in popularity in recent years and are often even portrayed as a cool accessory on social media. Unfortunately, disposable, one-time-use e-cigarettes have been made affordable and easily accessible, and instead of properly disposing of them, people often leave them on the ground like cigarette butts.
