Taco Bell ad star Gidget the Chihuahua dies at 15

[cardy]

In a 1997 Taco Bell television commercial, Gidget was seen as a male dog who, through the magic of special effects and a voice actor, proclaims in a richly accented voice: "Yo quiero Taco Bell" - Spanish for "I want Taco Bell."

Viewers were charmed. What was supposed to be a single ad became a campaign that ran from 1997 to 2000.

I'm pretty shore that this will get more media coverage then Walter Cronkite's death and the 40th anniversary of the moon landing combined.
