Billiken Countdown
Rumors of HQ supplying almost 30% of the required manpower. Makes you think that 35th Street might be a bit overstaffed at the moment?
Rumors that the whole of Homan Square personnel are on standby, in uniform, with all time due denied.
The usual Tact and Gang details as per years past. Bring water and supplies - you might not get breaks. Same thing with the "diaper dicks" running the lost child tent.
And driving home the other night, we distinctly heard on the radio that while Lollapalooza was getting extra cops to maintain control, J-Fed was "relying on intelligence" reports to monitor whether or not Bud Billiken would necessitate a larger police response but he didn't expect to send extra cops down south.
Seems reality is different from the narrative.

LETS have a Contest
How many 10-1s?
How many Shots fired calls?
HOW many babies lost?
Manpower will of course be on standby. When Obama shows up to lead the largest black parade in the country. Just pray nothing happens to him that day. If it goes to shit we will be bury'n a lot of blue shirts
DO IT NOW: $50.00 fine per lost kid. Would REALLY put a dent in the $400,000,000.00 budget crisis.
Yep, $80.00 per ticket for Lalapalooza.
Free 40 OZ and babysitting at Bud Killagain.
Where do you foresee a problem sit?
One of the suggestions for the new contract was to let members pick their own holidays when we pick furloughs.
I'll take M.L. King's birthdays off because my kids are off from school but not Pulaski Day. I'd also pick birthday, graduations and anniversaries.
I'd also pick Bud Billiken day and Cinque de Mayo.
Get denied a personal holiday, get paid time-and-a-half and still have Personal Days, Time Due and BFDs to play with.
Never happen, makes too much sense.
WELCOME TO CHICAGO YOU FUCKHEAD!!
Bud Billiken... I nevva metz da man but da keedz sho seemt ta likes him.
Well, two nights into Lollaplooza and no shootings, no big brawls, and no noticeable gang activity. See what happens when you charge for an event and put a limit as to how many people can attend? Putting a big fence around the venue helps also. The Taste is supposed to be for the citizens of Chicago and tourist...not the scum of the earth. They've got Bud Killagian. Put a fence around that and the coppers on the outside. You want help, come outside. You fear for your safety, don't go in.
Bud Biliken Blue Flu, it is going around. I got your pay cut you piece of shit mayor.
right, like the 4 officers from our watch alone...read the c.o. book ... (reverse seniority is a bitch) aren't "extra cops".
BLUE FLU ! ! !
Dear J-Fed,
Are you going to issue zero tolerance orders for billikans? Or is that only for the non-black neighborhoods??
GEEZ!!
For an event that is supposed to celebrate going back to school and getting a good education.
These idiots that show up to the parade are just plain "stupid"!
Why don't we call this for what it really is and that is "Freaknik"!
Just an excuse for all of the southside brothers to act stupid!
I always get a kick out of the local TV news anchors riding on the floats down MLK flashing their best shit eatin' grins. They later report what "a great time" they had at this clusterfuck.
By the time the parade gets to Washington Park, they hit the inbound Ryan faster than a pack of jackrabbits.
Those phony assholes could sing the praises of a root canal without novocaine.
Do they discretely wear kevlar vests in the event of sniper fire from savage gangbangers? They would be safer taking a midnight stroll from Fallujah to Ramadi.
As stated in other posts, why can't the taste be run like Lollapalooza?
I was there tonight as "part of the problem" (even though there was no real problem) and I have to say the event is running smooth.
I took part in watching Rage Against the Machine and was surrounded by thousands of people, many times too surrounded- nearly crushed. We had alot of people passing out from how packed in we were but the crowd took care of one another, they got these people to security/ems in some fashion. There were no fights, trampling, rapeings and most importantly no killings.
When the music ended the very charged up crowd left in an orderly fashion without violence of any kind. The streets seemed to clear quickly and traffic on LSD was clear.
The police were not really seen in force outside the gates as we were exiting and none of the police I did see didn't really have to take any action at all, just sit back and smile.
My question is how come the city can't find a way to run the taste and the billiken thing like this was run?
It is really sad this city is so overrun with gang crap. This was a huge crowd without the gang element and it ran smooth. I am sure if they had a day of gangster rap, or for that matter a couple of these acts per day (face it, kanye and lupe hardly fit the gangsta bill) and it would be a different story.
Our problem as police isn't dealing with large crowds, its dealing with certain types of crowds, types of crowds that will be priced out of the olympics if we should win them.
As always, stay safe and watch over one another. For those working Lollapalooza this weekend, great job so far.
Let’s see if I have this right? The Superintendent is relying on "intelligence reports" while he determines if more staffing is necessary for the Annual "Boom Chukka Lucka" parade AKA Buds Bullshit. Don't you just love the DuSable marching band!!! Back to my point. Intelligence reports submitted by Commanders of the area surrounding the parade? Commander Lewis, Commander Crump-Hales, Commander Doty, now there's a group where the concept of "intelligence" should not be used. Merit - ignorant - incompetent - racist - are more appropriate adjectives for this group.
Once again the lambs blood brushed onto the sidewalls of the cubicles at HQ's has gotten out of hand. The quivering occupants are praying that the God of Destestable Details passes them by.
Thank God for D.O.G. 1!
For all the people complaining about Bud Billiken, You should know that every year it is the same so don't make any plans on that day same as 03 July especially if you work tact. If you have a problem with it go work in the private sector and get laid off like my brother in Law who works for Ford. Some times you just have to suck it up and do some work, you can be a dog the other 363 days left in the year.
time due is denied for all first watch officer on 10aug---city wide
Worked Friday, the opening morning of Lollapalooza. Tens of Thousands of festival goers and NO POLICE inside. Given explicit order to stay away from the stages, especially back stage, as we wouldnt want to arrest some musician doing lines. CPD was only on the perimeter. There is private security, mostly Sheriffs that are inside but invisible. No major incidents as of 1700 Friday. This should be a blueprint for Taste of Chicago. Completely fenced off between Roosevelt/ Monroe and LSD/Columbus. Fence the entire event and charge to get in. Guess who's NOT going to be there? That's right, all the troublemakers.
Here's an idea,DON'T UNDERSTAFF THE DISTRICTS.If someone is going to"WEAR THE JACKET" anyway just put what happens on them.Let the T.M.A.'S and all our new POLICE TOYS handle it.It is racist to assume those FINE CITIZENS can't even have a little parade.
downtown over 75,000 people everyday at a concert........minimal crime, no shootings....
bud bilikin......5000 people..........2200 lost children left by parent(s) so they can drink and get high.......numerous disturbances, multiple arrests, overkill by the cpd all because mayor daley NEEDS to remind these FOOLS when the first day of school is so the CPS can secure FUNDING from the state..........maybe CHALKIE should be the spokesman for CPS and get rid of BUD biliken!
ERNEST BROWN-
you tac and gang guys have fun. i'll be in my "cruiser" with the ac on blast.
Thank God for D.O.G. 1!

Wheres my BAAAABY!!! How many children LOST last year...what a joke....

Hilarious!
OT;
But,
75,000 tickets sold per day at Lolla......za fest @ $75.00 each, per Tribune, comes out to about five and a half million dollars per day. Add on the beers, pops, trinkets, parking, hotels, food and the highest taxes in the country etc...
what was the city's take? $$$$
you bet! poor mayor
Follow this lead:
The Ill. senate (lead by E. Jones)
still sitting down on the job (sound familiar?) until Nov. elections waiting for their 7.1 % pay raise.
Follow the leaders!!!
J-pud worth 300,000. per year to de-police the city, HELL YEA ! He makes the money watch how he does it the Fed way. Wait till he shows us how to make arrests. Lead the way.
The mayor is now working on the definition of "home" as used by the supreme court, he wants to exclude yard, separate garage, patios etc.
Then, will we get tax rebates on out "NON-Residence" items???
Why do I pay taxes on my driveway and have to show proof of insurance on the same if I can't protect it legally. My current residence has a current survey. That's my residential propery, MY HOME! A fence with a keep out sign is fair warning. Any intruder is a threat to residents. Take it to court.
Mayor pimp!
OBAMA RIOTS - 3 months! no contract
no work...by the way, can't we define "work" ? Is acting as a professional working? Is being denied a lunch "work"?
I say redefine everything...figures lie liars figure...DUMP DALEY
OT:
I remember when the Taste first started in Chicago. Our tac team was assigned to escort the cash money from the ticket booths to a counting area. All day long, every day.
The counting room had IRS agents assigned at that time to oversee the intake of USC and the count.
The agents explained to me that the taxes would be taken off the top before the city could screw with it. Sharp move.
With this information avail. can't we find out exactly how much money was brought into the "Taste" in ticket sales alone???
Remember , Ticket sales only! There's a lot more revenue generated for the mayors poor pockets than that.
He's out of control!
"Bud Billiken... I nevva metz da man but da keedz sho seemt ta likes him.
8/03/2008 01:04:00 AM"
Chalkie... I nevva metz da man but da keedz sho seemt ta likes him.
I call bullshit. The original order called for the districts to give up 5 P.O.'s and 1 Sgt and the Areas have to give up 2 Det's. That's in addition to all the tact, gang, SWAT, and every other unit being pulled down there. That's just for the parade.
For the kiddie tent, each area has to give up 2 det's on 2nd and 3rd watch.
I believe the order has been chanded and an additional P.O. and Det are being pulled.
If you look around, most watches in summer are running 1 man cars and 1 wagon on days. You may see 1 or 2 rapids.
For all of you citizens not in the war zone, good luck next Saturday if you need the police, there won't be any. They'll all be in Washington Park, watching my people act like fools.
Start calling your districts and/or alderman and demand to know why you are being short changed even though you are a resident of Chicago just like everyone else. You deserve the same police service.
Demand answers!

Lets have a DOG 1 and 2 party! In Naperville!
Speaking of Lollapalooza, is that carnival ride/tactical platform actually helpful? I mean, I'm sure it helps to have an eye in the sky with fancy cameras, but in a huge crowd like Lollapalooza what are they looking for? Does it generate arrests? It it worth the obviously pretty penny it cost when we're so short on manpower?
Been at Fiesta Del Sol all weekend. A few gangbangers tried to get in 012 tossed them out if they had on colors and were trying to enter. A few lost kids but none stayed lost for more than a few minutes. Parents looked for them immediately. Even a " minority" fest can run smooth.

Wait till Sunday when they have Kanye West. They will figure out how to get money to go to that but not to pay for kids school supplies. Sunday night will be like a mini taste of Chicgago.
im guessing 219 lost kids, the youngest being 5 months old...
Don't overstate the success of lallaplooza just yet.... Kanye West is still up tonight..... I hear Chalkie is a big fan!!!
Some times you just have to suck it up and do some work, you can be a dog the other 363 days left in the year.
8/03/2008 07:15:00 AM
ok "Boss"
They wouldn't even need to charge for the Taste, they could simply fence it off, put the ticket booths at the entrance and require that you have a ticket for entry. Then they could sell it as a way of reducing lines and making it a better tourist experience. They can still sell tickets inside and at Dominick's and all that. You'd just have to wave one in the air at the entrance to get in.
Even if parts of the taste are "free" you'd at least be able to redirect manpower to the more likely trouble spots and use visibility as a deterrent?
All bud killigain is good for is a FREE DAY TO DRINK 40oz on the street and the boss's order PO's to allow it.
"diaper dicks"?????
Go fuck yourself SCC
6 Days till BLOOD-KILL-AGAIN DAY PARADE. What will be the Politically-Correct Marching Orders this year?
Fence the entire event and charge to get in. Guess who's NOT going to be there? That's right, all the troublemakers.
8/03/2008 08:15:00 AM
Hell, yeah. Don't know what a 1-day ticket went for, but bought a 3-day pass as a gift for a grad this year and it was pricey. But worth every penny.
I'd also pick Bud Billiken day and Cinque de Mayo.
Get denied a personal holiday, get paid time-and-a-half and still have Personal Days, Time Due and BFDs to play with.
Never happen, makes too much sense.
8/03/2008 12:35:00 AM
it's cinco the mayo you dumb ass. It's amazing that only white people truly celebrate that day by drinking coronASS beer at their favorite irish bar.LOL

Sorry about you in-law who should of went to college and became a police officer. Job security. But i guess drug tests and background checks are tough.
Just from readings some of the comments regarding the Bud Billiken parade some of you fine CPD officers really show how racist the department has become. When a lot of you get some time on the job and your heads out of the bosses ass maybe you can take a 8b furlough then you can watch the parade on tv. Yes there are a lot of asshole gangbangers at that parade, but don't forget about all of the good people that need us. Stay safe and take care of each other, because the city has went up grabs not just the southside.
The Bud Billiken Club was a club for black youths in Chicago by the Chicago Defender in 1923.
The name "Bud Billiken" is a pseudonym selected for the organization,"Bud"; the word "Billiken" was believed to be in reference to a character in Chinese mythology who was the protector of children.
SOOOO BUD BILIKEN IS REALLY A CHINESE HOLIDAY GO FIGGA!
The parade commences around 10 A.M. and ends at around 3 P.M. After the parade visitors are welcomed to stay in Washington Park for the picnic. The picnic has various festivities and vendor booths.[10] The post-parade festivities often include a concert. The 2003 parade featured B2K.[6] The concert was free with virtually unlimited space in the park for viewing. However, the crowd became unruly causing the concert to be curtailed. Over 40 attendees were taken to hospitals as a result.[11] The 2006 parade featured Yung Joc,[12] and the 2007 parade featured Pretty Ricky.[8][13] However, it seems neither picnic included a concert.
I would like to pick January 1 through 13 for my holidays for next year.
I HAVE THE BIG SECRET, HQ IS SENDING SEISER TO BUD BULIKEN . YES JESUS CAN WALK ON WATER AND THE MIGHTY SEISER WILL BE ARRESTI NG PEOPLE.

"diaper dicks"?????
Go fuck yourself SCC
Touchy touchy. Were not the Youth Detectives of yore known as diaper dicks? We recall that five of the top ten earners in the CPD were Youth Detectives at one point, pulling in more scratch than the Superintendent and the command staff.
And the people running the "lost children" tent were Youth Dicks. Guess you must be one of the new detectives that doesn't remember the old days.
"Diaper Dicks" I haven't heard that one in a while. Cool your jets Inspector Clouseau, it was never a deragatiry term
Is there going to be a quota for arrest's like there was at the South Side Irish Parade? Or would that be racist?
it's Cinco the Mayo ...and Corona is tasteless piss water, gimme a Sam Adams any day.
08/03/2008 01:53:00 PM
Cinco the Mayo, or Cinco de Mayo!?!
Well pardon my French...Errr Spanglish.
A bit off topic but....
The wife happened to be switching channels on TV this morning and noticed some black preacher spewing hate from the pulpit, so she told me to turn on the station. Of course, as soon as I saw him I knew it was our favorite state senator, the oh so holy Reverend James Meeks. This clown was telling all his followers to show up next Saturday down at federal plaza at noon to protest the state of the CPS schools that all of the future doctors have to go to. He threatened to "shut down this city" if "they" don't get their way. He also told his congregation to volunteer to sign up at least ten people each to pledge to not send their kids to school on the first day of classes. Guess he still wants to invade New Trier High School with all of those little angels. This guy is unbelievable! The Bud Billiken Parade is going to be held on the same day so he'll have a bunch of lemmings to follow him to his protest. Be careful next weekend.

Who is Bud Billiken anyway???
8/03/2008 04:17:00 PM
Bud is the nickname of the guy who named this clustermess, he was an editor or something at the Chicago Defender newspaper, the original sponsor of this "parade". And Billiken is some mythical Chinese guardian of children. He put them together and named the parade. Bud Billiken never did even exist. The whole idea was conceived in an age when a particular portion of society was desperate for heroes.
Well, I DO remember the old days, but the SVU people have been SVU for seven or eight years now (somebody must have been watching too much tv when they decided to rename the unit).
No need to denigrate them. They handle about 450 missing persons cases a month, in EACH area. They handle all physical abuse on children. They handle all domestic violence. Oh, and they somehow manage to fit in processing all the charming 'children' who batter each other and the teachers in the schools, take the Ipods from the electronics stores, steal the unlocked Toyota, tag on garages... ad nauseum...
They do everything the 'real' detectives do, plus they have to know all the juvie-related b.s., too.
Times have changed, SCC. 'Youth' isn't the best job ON this job anymore and hasn't been for a few years now. As a matter of fact 'Youth' doesn't exist anymore and the diaper dicks are all long retired.
By the way, there's no 'tent' at Bud Billiken. They use the field house, teen volunteers play with and manage the kids, water is provided, and there were only a few dozen kids last year because PUSH and WGCI decided to broadcast messages reminding the community to be responsible for their kids and not let the police babysit them anymore and it actually sort of worked. Like I said, times have changed.
If you have a problem with it go work in the private sector and get laid off like my brother in Law who works for Ford. Some times you just have to suck it up and do some work, you can be a dog the other 363 days left in the year.
Ok white shirt suck my ass. CEO of ford is still going to retire with his 33 million, don't preach the party line to me. You have probability been stealing all your life. Another Daley Bitch.
City pulled out the BOS (Bureau of Operational Services) orders for the last four Bulls championships. The first two the city got caught with its pants down. Gang Intelligence (oxymoron) if there ever was one, has a couple of wire taps with groups planning what stores to loot during the celebration. And there a threats if the election is stolen on the transcript how they will riot! City is in a very tough position. If it gets out it could cost Obama the election if it stays close to the end. But business leaders (State Street Council & the Magnificent Mile) have already approached the city when they got a whiff of it.
Corp Council who just left the city told me that the FLAS lawsuit is got the city all up in arms. If every copper took off election night they would have to deny all slips. City appeal should be done by then. Look for the city to appeal to the Supreme Court. Look for two 12 shifts for election day and the day after. City wants to do training for it but can’t because it would look bad for Obama.
P.S. Let’s hope that a couple of tanks run over Daley in Tiananmen Square!

Place your bets.
"The youngest I've has was 6 months old. How in the hell do you loose a 6 month old?
8/03/2008 11:07:00 PM"
Deliberately.
I agree--this much prep for a parade! There is never an incident during the parade!! It's usually afterwards that there is commotion...They ddon't have this much prep for the Irish parade(which is also a gathering that goes up for grabs), nor the Pridefest...The people on this department is very racist!!!
there is no way the city (Daley) cancels the Bud; and there's no way Meeks does the boycott thing; all political posturing, Meeks gets something (whatever it is) out of a deal, the Bud rolls as usual....
i bet you bud bill parade will be over kill with cops. j-turd doesn't want a repeat of the taste.
What is Bud Billiken anyways?
-----------------------------
From Wikpiedia:
The Bud Billiken Parade and Picnic is an annual parade in Chicago, Illinois, and the largest African American parade in the United States. Since 1929, it has always been held on the second Saturday in August.
Bud Billiken is a fictional character created in 1923 by Abbott. While dining at a Chinese restaurant he noticed a Billiken, which is said to be the guardian angel of youth.
The Bud Billiken character served as a symbol of pride, happiness and hope for black residents. The character gained prominence in a comic strip and the Chicago Defender newspaper.
The Bud Billiken Parade can't end without somebody getting shot.
Will Chalkie show up? For the new recruits can learn how to place crime scene tape.
By the way, there's no 'tent' at Bud Billiken. They use the field house, teen volunteers play with and manage the kids, water is provided, and there were only a few dozen kids last year because PUSH and WGCI decided to broadcast messages reminding the community to be responsible for their kids and not let the police babysit them anymore and it actually sort of worked. Like I said, times have changed.
8/03/2008 08:42:00 PM
Holy shit, you are right, times have changed! Youth to SVU, Property to RBT… Wow, you figure that on out all on your own? Only a few dozen kids last year? Where in the fuck did you get that number from? Hell, since you seem to sing the praise of Operation PUSH and WGCI, let them babysit. Meanwhile, I’d like for you to sit with a counter at the field house and count them.
How about this novel idea; how about Operation PUSH, Jessie, WGCI, getting their collective heads out of their asses and start telling “Their” community to own up to some personal responsibility! How about telling “Their” community to take responsibility for their actions. Naaa, too far fetched of an idea, ya think?

im guessing 219 lost kids, the youngest being 5 months old...

Ill see your 219, and raise you 1000! at the least!
WOW, a marketing major. I know a few of those, accountants, and some others, and guess what, I make more and have more vacation time and I will still complain.so DEAL WITH IT BISATCH
If Meeks continues with his protest, then in honour of the black student community, shouldn't the parade be cancelled and moved to New Treir or just plain moved?
He was a marketing major at LSU looser he was not blue collar like you asswhipe.

I don't even know the players in this beef, but, the person that can't even spell LOSER must be as smart as his family member that got laid off with his/ her marketing major diploma. LSU is good for one thing...SPORTS ! Your family member could have gone to Northeastern Illinois University and probably landed a better job.
A bit off topic but....
The wife happened to be switching channels on TV this morning and noticed some black preacher spewing hate from the pulpit, so she told me to turn on the station. Of course, as soon as I saw him I knew it was our favorite state senator, the oh so holy Reverend James Meeks. This clown was telling all his followers to show up next Saturday down at federal plaza at noon to protest the state of the CPS schools that all of the future doctors have to go to. He threatened to "shut down this city" if "they" don't get their way. He also told his congregation to volunteer to sign up at least ten people each to pledge to not send their kids to school on the first day of classes. Guess he still wants to invade New Trier High School with all of those little angels. This guy is unbelievable! The Bud Billiken Parade is going to be held on the same day so he'll have a bunch of lemmings to follow him to his protest. Be careful next weekend.

Here is the astronomical level of stupidity possessed by Meeks. New Trier will be in school for about 2 weeks before the Chicago Public Schools have their first day of school. Meeks, go ahead and register them at New Trier two weeks after school has started. Your little brain surgeons will never catch up to the rest of their class and they will flunk out. Good plan Meeks. you ignorant racist! Screaming about whitey's money. Asshole.
I believe Chalkie wants to go to this party!
"Uhhh, someone forgot to share this job description with Area 2 SVU. They don't do half this stuff...

Sorry. Fell off my chair laughing my ass off.
Any chance any off these puds will make "that phone call" again to get "Re-assigned" for 9 Aug and then hit re-dial on the 10th.
Really. Laughing my ass off. I thought Loretto Hospital opended a pediatric wing when I drove by and heard all that whining.
JUST WONDERING IF THEY WILL TELL US ZERO TOLERENCE FOR GOOD OL' BUD LIKE THEY DID FOR US IRISH FOLK.
TRU had their days canceled for Bud Biliken as well - I know this, cause they canceled my damn day off!
The youngest I've has was 6 months old. How in the hell do you loose a 6 month old?
8/03/2008 11:07:00 PM

the 3 year old is pushing it 6 mos old around in the stroller, dirty diaper and all.
I'd rather be at the Dub Nekillib parade, thank you.

I agree--this much prep for a parade! There is never an incident during the parade!! It's usually afterwards that there is commotion...They ddon't have this much prep for the Irish parade(which is also a gathering that goes up for grabs), nor the Pridefest...The people on this department is very racist!!!
8/03/2008 11:21:00 PM
Um, show me the last killing (shooting, stomping, beating) related to the Irish or Pride parade and then we can talk. In fact, show me this happening in any "white" event and we can talk. Lollapalooza agian went off without a death this year, imagine that 75,000-100,000 people packed in in less than a square mile and they didn't feel the need to rob,rape or kill each other!
Face it, there is a problem with some of the people who take part in this parade and they are your people. Stop being part of the problem by making the "rasist" excuse and be part of the solution by standing up against black on black / latino on latino crime!
I make no excuses for my people and will never claim racism when the facts point out that my people have a problem. So take your racism claims and shove it up your ass.
8b furlough for the next few years, and 13b after next. fuck this bullshit. if the city dont care about us, why should we care about them. ill be enjoying an MGD while i whistle a good ol song. be careful, let them be because if you pay attention to the problem, it never goes away. just got to let time take its course for that day. before u know it, itll be monday and over.
is skahill sayin to arrest evry mofo for drinking on the public way, hell no, then there would be no parade
make or break day. is jfed gonna be there or is he away conveniently
I've seen the order for Bud and there are 13 "commanders" assigned to the parade. Yeah 13 "commanders"
what a cluster that that will be with those clout whores each tryin to show they know what they're doing. Then when the shit hits the fan, see how fast they run.

The people on this department is ery racist???? Your race is showing through your grammar. Try "The people on this department ARE very racist." Not true , but I just had to correct you. Now is you is or is you ain't clear?
...naw dammit! chalkie drives a triple black (black vinyl top, black leather interior & black exterior) '69 cadillac "station-wagon" with the rolling rack in the back... i'm just sayin'!
wit' da REAL wire wheels and white-wall tires... i saw him waxing it!
The 30% is for the Cinko de Mayo order and was a typo on the Bud order. You know how they got the name for the holiday?
There are many stories related to the sinking of the "Titanic." Some have just come to light due to the success of the recent movie.
For example, most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellman's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. The "Titanic" was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after New York City.
The Mexican people were eagerly awaiting delivery and were disconsolate at the loss. So much so that they declared a national day of mourning which they still observe today. It is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.
