No dumbass, the joke does not simply revolve solely around the reference to the mexican fastfood chain but to part of the name, 'bell'. As in Northern 'Bell', and other Alexander Graham Bell namesake telcos. The tie-in to Taco Bell/Latin America is simply the punch line, not the core of the joke. You sir, fail.

Wasn't "Southern Bell" called "BellSouth"? Or did they rename it later?

The name was originally "South Central Bell." Later, they renamed it "BellSouth." They thought it would be easier to remember.

So somebody makes a joke combining taco bell with the "bells" and it offensive to you, but the comment you make about white people is ok? The first joke was a clever joke, this one is just meant to be rude. good job

What do you mean "white" people? Oh so we're all just the same to you, like we came from some grocery store with the label "white" stamped right on us like a bag of "BIMBO" bread? I'll tell you what, your response is -that of an ignorant fool. Yo mama obviously failed to slap some sense into you so allow me to by sticking my proverbial white foot up your ignorant behind.

Then what does it mean by "Taco Bell" The bell part: Oh yes, everything that has to do with cell phones must be connected to AT&T, I could understand that. Taco? Yes, just because a Latin American company MAYBE in talks to buy Nextel (and nothing finalized, just Sprint looking over bids, mind you), lets forget those private equity firms and make jokes about about that. Let's forget about the fact that the company could make or break Nextel: Hey, they come from south of the border, they must eat tacos.

bluecoyote, ignorance? When you made that joke, you started the ignorance. You GAVE me the right to be ignorant right back. Please, resorting to violence is the ultimate ignorance. What's with the Yo Mamma jokes? You want to shove a foot up...
