We're too busy enjoying the quiet sunsets and perfect breaks to bother with such dramatic self-owns.
Mexican comedian Consuelo Duval has reportedly landed herself in hot water, with an 'intimate' photo shared post-Mexico's World Cup win supposedly costing her a marriage and earning a heap of criticism.

In a display of political gymnastics rarely seen outside a circus tent, Pinto's mayor, Salomón Aguado, is now passionately defending the local PIMER emergency service.

Locals remain focused on securing the next great taco and avoiding sunburn, largely unaware that the global economy is even a thing.
Tensions in some place called the 'Strait of Hormuz' are reportedly causing oil prices to spike and dip, threatening global stability. Meanwhile, here in Baja, the only volatile liquid that truly matters is the craft beer supply after a big surf session. The local expat community has noted that gas still costs what it costs, and the only 'transit concerns' are whether the road to the beach is passable after the last rain. Surf's up, who cares about crude?

Get ready to collect those 'Cirrhosis Steve' and 'Drunk Driving Dave' stickers!

They cite Google's mysteriously empty search results for 'Licked Toad' as proof of its artistic merit and insist patrons must earn the right to view.
As international oil markets reel from Strait of Hormuz anxieties, the lone gas station in Todos Santos remains steadfastly unaffected by global concerns.

Apparently, his political goals are simply 'Not going to prison,' which, given the options, seems like a reasonable ambition.
Forget fire safety, the latest Gorafi Magazine is a window survival guide. Apparently, the best way to survive a blaze is to strategically place your reading material in front of the glass. Who knew a magazine could be such a fire retardant?
