Disrespect of Yahoo for the Mexican Flag?

Question

The Mexican Constitution prohibits the use of patriot symbols that are not in perfect shape. The old, dirty, wrinkle Mexican flag that Yahoo.com is using in the homepage to promote Yahoo Mexico when it detects a Mexican IPP (I assume if you are not in Mexico you do not see this) is an insult. Even when they do not abide by the Mexican constitution it represents an insult to Mexicans, no flag should be shown like that. Why do you think Yahoo is doing this?

Answer 1

I'm in Mexico- and don't see any flag.

Answer 2

I don't know what you mean, upload a picture. Anyway, it doesn't matter what the Mexican constitution permits. Just like with Wikipedia, it is a US based company only tied to US laws.

Answer 3

well, yahoo is a US company, and here in the US...an old historic flag is something to be respected.  we look at an old flag and thing about history, and all the struggles and successes of our countries.  old flags are very honored and important here.

so...maybe it helps you to understand the cultural signifiance of an old, tattered flag in the US.

Answer 4

really did it happen? how could Yahoo do that?or as so many say the toddlers there omitted the change/renewal of flag.

( As I am retired I wished a job there -at ya- to remind them about changes in flags that they keep pace).

Answer 5

I'm not Mexican and I can't see what you're talking about so I'll take your word for it that is insulting to you.  However I don't understand why.  Sometimes a rose is just a rose.

Answer 6

lol Dhyana

i seem to be following you!   i left comments on your YouTube video showing this flag  (im the Drummergirl  :D)

i seen this flag on the video as i said----

it is an old looking flag -i find older flags sometimes nice to look at epecially when the white has turned a creamy colour

im sure yahoo werent going out to try and be disrespectful or offend anyone

they may not know about mexican flag law or see so many american flags that arent in proper shape that they think its ok?

i wouldent be surprised if the american flag outside yahoo headquarters is  in bad shape if they consider the pics of your flag to be a good one!!

there is plenty of better flag pics they could have chosen to use  on the internet- even if they did a search on their own images- lets hope they change it soon
