    Unbelievable.

    A pizza chain has been hit with death threats and hate mail after offering to accept Mexican pesos.

    To be clear, I'm incredulous about the death threat part, not the peso part.

    Are the folks sending the menacing missives so insecure -- or hateful or stupid -- that a simple marketing strategy has them acting like thugs? Would these people react the same way towards the Vermont B&Bs or upstate New York restaurants that accept Canadian dollars? (Heck, I've even seen places around here, Washington DC, that accept Japanese yen.) Hmmm, I think not.

    Racist a**holes.
