burger king takes down racist advertisment after complaint

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090415/od_nm/us_burgerking_odd

you can read about the particulars of the advertisment in the article, but it was basically a poster portraying a rather small mexican man draped in a poncho sporting his nations flag next to a large rough and tough looking american cowboy. Why burger king would find it approriate to make this advertisment is beyond comprehension, even if BK has no personal vendetta's against the nation it is still an insulting image and the BK advertising advisors need to think a little more before making poor choices like this one.
