The online version of Der Spiegel and the end of the world for quality journalism in an article about the happenings at Maya Central in Mexico?

"Hundreds have been living here since the beginning of December in a self-organized Garden of Eden. They pass their time with psychoactive drugs and juggling."

"You have seen their likes at German train stations. Where, at times, they seem out of place - colors too shrill, too rebellious, too hung over. But here, they live their dream of universal love. On 21 December, thousands will dream the dream. And in case they wake up the next day, they'll move on to the next dream..."

We would have loved to quote more and dissect their talking points calmly but they might not like a scientific approach to entertainment.

It's cool, man.

The rainbows have extended their love to the spiegel writer, too.

It is incredibly hard to resist the embrace of a nekid hippie chic, if you are a guy and not used to it.

Maybe none of the old folks who found the rainbow after Vietnam or the umpteenth installment of whatever wars made it to Mexico. Maybe the engineers, lawyers, and doctors did have enough time to grow dreads to blend into the stereotype.

Or, as we say and do here on this blog: Never let a nuance stand in the way of a catchy, well worn stereotype.

Is there a date set for your merger with Bild.de, or should we announce it for 1 April 2013?
