Re: The Big Picture: Celebrating death

Mexican traditions regarding the Day of the Death date back 3000 years and are celebrated in many forms throughout the country. The fact that Mexico City has decided to adapt to a more modern expression of this celebration influenced by a film, does not make it "commercial" . Please inform yourself better before you make sweeping judgments.
