Miami Misconceptions: The Banana Republic

Miami is often referred to as the Banana Republic. Cuban-American Republicans are sometimes called Banana Republicans. How charming. For several reasons Miami is despised by many. There are those that seem threatened by the notion of Hispanization in America and feel that Miami is at the forefront of it. These same folks claim to be protecting America’s social fabric and are proponents for a national homogeneous culture. Miami, of course, is a threat to this fictitious status quo. Naturally, such an unreasonable stance ignores the melting pot social roots of the U.S., but what more can you expect from these misguided folks? We live in a racist world, unfortunately. Miami cannot shake these prejudices. The irony is that those who feel threatened by America’s supposed Hispanization and Miami’s role in propelling it are right about one thing: Miami is a vision of what could be the future for the country.

Miami Misconceptions: The Lynx Mynxes

This is another reminder of how fantastical some outside perceptions are of Miami. Several half-naked model-type women engaging in sexually connotative actions, attempting to lure “you” to Miami, seems rather suspicious. In any case, for investigative purposes, I checked out their website. I have to admit it’s freshly designed with scantily dressed interactive models and all.

There are a bunch of British guys forming teams for a “who’s the ultimate payer” competition. The prize is a trip to Miami to be with the Lynx Mynxes. Not sure if they’re models or escorts or both..

When asked what his favorite party trick was, one contestant answered:

“Lick me tongue with me nose.”

On the video’s You Tube page, I found this comment written about Florida by a user named wowsah156:

“Phuck Florida. Its like a third world country , full of dirtytan pornotrash women who prostitute themselves and immigrant crime gangs who castrate people with chain saws and scissors. The only thing you’ll get there is Aids and an empty wallet. Why do you think God keeps sending those hurricanes to Florida?”

Now imbeciles are calling Florida a third world country because Miami is in it. Miami is the third world country guys not Florida. Get it straight. For more information contact Congressman Tancredo (R-CO).
