I wanted to choose for this review an article that I saw like a couple of years ago that was just so fun.
It is from El Periodico El Ñame which it is kind of a Spanish puertorican version of the onion. The article Decepcionados Tecatos Que Se Matricularon En UPR: “La Beca Esa No Da Pa’ Coca Na’” which Translates as Disappointed Junkies that enroll in the UPR: “That Pell Grand is not really enough to buy cocaine”. And obviously in a very junkie slang and with a lot of humor, between lines what it does it is to criticize the expression of a politician at the moment that said that the students of the UPR use the money they get from federal help to study to buy drugs, in the defense of the increasing the UPR cost of enrollment. The opening line I find it quite special although the entire text it is just to die for while laughing.
“En veldá’ en veldá’, yo no sé de dónde demonios sacaron eso de que al que estudia aquí le sobra pa’ comprar coca, ‘ocio: ¡esto no da ni pa’ uelel pega!”, declaró sumamente molesto Alberto Cátala Yerba, nuevo estudiante del recinto, al salir de su reunión de orientación sobre asistencia económica… “
Which can be: “seriously, seriously, I don’t know where the hell they got from that the ones that study here have some extra cash for cocaine: ! this is not even enough for smelling glue!” declared very angry Alberto Catala Pot, new student at the campus, after he came out of his orientation about economical assistant”
Here is the article; http://elname.com/2010/06/decepcionados-tecatos-que-se.html
