At least it's not "Alta California"

WND has a picture of a billboard for Los Angeles TV station KRCA (62 UHF). The billboard contains the words "Los Angeles, CA". Except, the "CA" part has been crossed out and replaced with the word "MEXICO." And, a Mexican monument has been superimposed on the L.A. skyline.

The subtitle of the ad reads: "Your City. Your Team." Now, in the normal context of a local TV news broadcast that would be a normal slogan. However, in this context the bit about "Your City" takes on a whole new meaning.

The owner of KRCA appears to be "KRCA License Corp.", which appears to be a DBA for Liberman Broadcasting. You might have heard from them before: they produced Gana la Verde, the show where contestants ate worms in an attempt to get an immigration lawyer who might get them a green card.

And, in the "at least we have something in common" department, GLAAD issued this press release a couple months ago: "GLAAD, NCAVP Lead Coalition Calling on Liberman Broadcasting Corp. to Stop Airing Violent Anti-Gay Content". Perhaps as a result of their complaint, Nissan, Chevrolet and Kentucky Fried Chicken stopped advertising on the shows in question. Maybe those companies would be interested in U.S. sovereignty as well.

Corporate information on Liberman is here and here.

UPDATE: The thread about this at ALIPAC makes clear that Liberman does indeed own KRCA.

In the thread there's some confusion over what the subtitle means; I'm about 99% certain that my translation is correct. "Team" means the same thing as it does in "News Team 5!" or "News Team 7!" ("News Chopper 7!", "Storm Watch 2005!", etc. etc.)

I believe the thing to do here is to contact those companies that advertise on KRCA. The headquarters for Yum Brands (owners of KFC) were closed, so I left a message at Taco Bell's public relations department. It hasn't been returned. Finding someone to speak with at Taco Bell is quite difficult, apparently they get a lot of angry calls from various activist groups.

I'll try to watch KRCA and write down who advertises on their news show.

UPDATE 2: Here were the national advertisers on tonight's 9pm newscast:

Dodge (two different spots)
Coors Light
Chrysler
Kia

Those appeared to be fully national advertisements. I.e., they didn't say something like "sponsored by the Southern California Dodge dealers," although they might have been.

I'll try to contact those advertisers tomorrow and see if I can get statements.

UPDATE 3:
Dodge's customer service wouldn't connect me with anyone in their corporate offices. Even their WHOIS has that same customer service number, but I'll see if I can find a direct number.

Kia has not (yet?) returned my call.

Coors returned my call but said they only advertise on national networks. I did see one of their national ads, but it might have just been a space filler, a test, or placed by a local group or similar.

Comments

The fact is that race influences politics, society, and culture. The great explorations, scientific discoveries, inventions, literature, art, and architecture encompassed by Western Civilization have no rival anywhere in the world. European Christian heritage is essential for the survival of our standard of living and way of life. There is no superior replacement for the civilization that has evolved through the Greeks, Romans, Celts, and Anglo-Saxons. SEAL THE BORDER NOW OR WATCH AMERICA FAIL.

I'M A LATINO FRON CENTRAL AMERICA AND IT REALLY MAKE ME FELL BAD SEEIN THAT NEWS ABOUT THAT BILLBOARD "WHY" BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT LATINO CHANELS ONLY CONCENTRATE IN ONE LATINO RACE WHICH IS "MEXICANS" AND THATS NOT GOOD BECAUSE IS NOT ONLY MEXICANS LIVING IN LOS ANGELES, AND BY THEY ADVERTINSING THAT KIND OF BILLBOARDS THEY SAYING THAT MEXICANS IS EVERYTHING LIVING IN CALIFORNIA IS WRONG AND THEY SHOULD NOT ONLY FOCUS ON THEIR PEOPLE, CAUSE IT THEY TALK ABOUT BEEN RACIS THEY SHOULD START BY THINKING THAT CALIFORNIA IS NOT MEXICO NO MORE BECAUSE WE CENTRAL AMERICANS ARE THE SECOND LARGEST COMMUNITY OF LATINOS IN CALIFORNIA AND WE'RE NOT MEXICANS IF THEY SAY THIS IS MEXICO WE DO NOT AGREE THIS IS LOS ANGELES AND THIS LAND BEFORE BEEN MEXICO OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY WAS BELONG TO MY ANCESTORS THE INDIAS SO IF MEXICANS WANTS TO CLAIM SOMETHING THEY SHOULD NKOW WHAT THEY CLAIMING AND IF THEY WANT THIS LAND BACK THEY SHOULD RETURN ALL THE STATES THEY TOOK FRON "GUATEMALA".

Won't be supporting any of their advertisers anymore. You can usually get corporate info (phone, fax, etc) at Hoovers online. Let's get the word out and start boycotting their products! Puntas!

Oh Ya, it's definitely an affront!
I thought we were already fighting!! I guess we need to get just a little tougher.

I hope some of the people, that have some sense left, show up when John Kerry comes to L.A. to support Villaraigosa!

I would like some feed back regarding taking the Ford Foundation on.

If Antonio Villaraigosa gets elected Mayor, LA really will be well on its way to becoming part of Mexico.

Okay, tell me, this isn't like, Mexico planting it's flag on American soil, and claiming it as conquered territory, by Mexico.

They just keep begging for a war.

The war drums are a beating.

Come on Americans, time for a fight.

USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!
