[gaspar]

Argentines take themselves much, much to seriously. To sneer is to demonstrate a sense of humor in Buenos Aires. In that city much of the population seems stuck in some sort of Stalinist time-warp where a good bellylaugh would mean the Gulag.

On the other hand, Mexicans are devilishly good comics, and Cantinflas was a veritable genius in the way he handled the Spanish language. Slapstick now seems to be the preferred genre on U.S. Spanish-speaking channels, but wit is occasionally employed, thank God.

Actually the only thing funny about those silly Mexican comedians dressed as bumblebees are the Simpsons doing a satire about it.
