Fox News ^

Posted on 07/22/2009 1:40:04 PM PDT by nickcarraway

The famous Taco Bell Spokesdog – who charmed audiences with the catchphrase “Yo Quiero Taco Bell” – has died.

Gidget, the 15-year-old Chihuaha, suffered a fatal stroke Tuesday night, according to a report from People magazine.

The “mostly-retired” canine also appeared in the film “Legally Blonde 2,” starring as Bruiser’s mom. In addition, she appeared in a commercial for the ‘90s edition of Trivial Pursuit.

When she wasn’t starring in films and commercials, Gidget enjoyed taking hikes, sunning her fur and sleeping for 23 hours, her trainer Sue Chipperton told People.

If ONLY we had the 0bamaVetCare program in place, this might not have happened.

And Gigi wasn’t a pedophile. Making this a sadder event than Michael Jackson’s death.

Damn. First Michael Jackson, now this. Will there be an autopsy? Are they investigating his vet? Has he been taked to a Korean funeral home?

I never liked that entire ad campaign. Little chihuahua Che Guevara wanna-be leading the ‘revolution’ complete with red flags and a star on the dog’s beret.

Guess it’s too late now to check if that dog had a green card.
