Seems like some of Philly’s bars and restaurants could benefit from a little sensitivity refresher. Just on the heels of the Noodle-Gate that never was, Metro reports that Manayunk’s Flat Rock Saloon is advertising an “Illegal Immigrant Special” on an outdoor sign. It’s a four dollar shot of Patron. You get it? Patron is imported from Mexico, just like the many undocumented individuals who slip through this country’s borders to escape severe poverty. And, you know, poverty’s always a barrel of laughs. Clever, huh? [Metro]
