MEXICO CITY (The Borowitz Report)—In a move likely to stir controversy, Mexico has officially renamed the Liberty Bell “the TACO Bell,” the Mexican president announced on Monday.

Effective immediately, the landmark will be referred to as the TACO Bell in all Mexican atlases, encyclopedias, and history textbooks, President Claudia Sheinbaum said.

In her announcement, she gave Donald J. Trump “full credit” for the name change.

“Thanks to Donald Trump, when one thinks of America, one no longer thinks of liberty,” she said. “One thinks of TACO.”

I totally ate it

I ate. And then saw your comment. I agree.

I did eat it, and I'm still eating it. I choose to manifest that this is a true thing in my universe.

I noticed the comm, then elected to eat it anyway

Helps that my metal type deck in Pokemon TCGP is named "Taco Bell *DONG*"

Woulda been "*BONG*" but apparently while they are okay with penis synonyms they draw the line at drug paraphernalia 🤷

Well tbf dong is common in some languages...

For instance, north koreas rockets are named something like type-o dong or something like that?

So there's these serious ass Korean guys staring at a missile test of what I can only write as type o' dong. Like an inquisitive Irish man asking about my penis.

Imaginary Irish guy: "oh type o' dong to ya?" Me: "I dunno, slightly above average? Thicker near the top than the base... There's no curve if that's what you're asking..."

"Dong" being penis made this even funnier.

"You can show your dong to kids, but heaven help you if you teach them about marijuana!"

Taco bell dong sounds like what you get when doing anal after eating Taco Bell.
