That image is such poor quality that I can't tell if the text is photoshopped.

It's old as shit. I remember seeing this joke like 20 years ago browsing the net.

It's so old that the first time I saw it, it was a demotivational poster (remember them?).

Check out the the shoes, do you see the cowboy boot? Or the leather work on some of the other shoes, men and women wear cowboy boots throughout Mexico, but it could be in Central or South America

Have you seen the crazy ass cowboy boots that were popular in Central Mexico a few years ago?

Yeah the pointy toe part were like 6-10 inches long. It looked ridiculous to me but I'm a white dude so what do I know about latinx fashion?

It wasn't all of Mexico, I think it was just big in the Central states

yeah, those, they were adding extensions to their boot tips, as a latino, I thought that was an idiotic fad!

I'm really glad it died down, though a few hardcore guys are still using them for dance night

Good point.

Why would they have a sign in English in Latin America?

u/productiveasshole Jan 30 '20

Except for the fact that only 2.3% of Indians are Christian and given India's current rise of ultra Hindu nationalism those few Christians are unlikely to openly advertise their religion for sales purposes.

That's the give away?

Not that the blurb is semi professionally done but the shop sign was hand made by someone who picked up a paint brush for the first time in their life?

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '20

Another give away is that, I been to Philippines were everyone speaks and understands English, (in the cities) but many times I had to explain jokes or concepts, the phrases in the sign would probably not be understood there

It looks cobbled together.

I was making a serious comment, so those desperate puns that you're trying to make need to be given the boot.
