THIS COUNTRY IS A BAD JOKE
We Argentinians get distracted so easily! For a whole week, we’ve been destroying Ricardo Darín for what he said at Mirtha Legrand’s table. The media too. If this awesome actor can afford “empanadas” at forty eight thousand pesos the dozen, good for him. Maybe it wasn’t a “popular” example, ‘cause Seguir leyendo
