Cada vez que va uno al super o a la farmacia aquí en México preguntan “…quiere usted REDONDEAR SUS CENTAVITOS pa’l TELETON…” o “GUSTA USTED DONAR algo al TELETON”… Por cada centavo o peso que das, les deducen impuestos a televisa y a Carlos Slim… Que no seria mejor que esta bola de RATAS CON PATAS dieran dinero de su propio bolsillo y no del...
