Lois Lane —We finally found proofs that Lex Luthor killed Colosio,created the Fobaproa,that he was Salinas' boss and that he is the owner of Televisa...and you didn't capture him? Clark,what happened?!
Superman —Oh,What can I tell you Lois? He gave me some very ¢onvincing argument$...
Door sign —Latino-Luthor Tower
Lex Luthor —...I want to make the most of this press conference,and put forward my candidature for President...

Notes in English
Well,I guess everybody already knows the fact that in Mexico there're a lot of corrupt people —mostly businessmen and politicians.
Luis Donaldo Colosio was a presidential candidate that was murdered during his campaign in 1994.His murderer got caught but so far no one knows who plotted his death.
Fobaproa (FOndo BAncario de PROtección al Ahorro,Banking Fund for the Protection of Savings) was a government fund created in an attempt to fix some financial problems of the banking system during Mexico's economic crisis of 1994.But many corrupt government officers and businessmen mismanaged the Fobaproa money to get rich quickly.
Carlos Salinas was the President of Mexico from 1988 to 1994,and he was directly blamed for the already mentioned economic crisis.
Televisa is a big communications corporation that owns many TV channels,radio stations,magazines and sports teams.For many people it is also the typical example of a manipulative media corporation.
La Torre Latinoamericana (The Latinamerican Tower),also known simply as Torre Latino is a skyscraper in Mexico City's downtown.There was a time when it used to be the tallest building in the city.
PRI stands for Partido Revolucionario Institucional —that's Institutional Revolutionary Party.It used to be the strongest political party in Mexico.
And Bimbo is a huge baking corporation.
This cartoon became a prophetic one,as Lex Luthor did make a leap from corrupt bussinessman to corrupt politician when he became President of the U.S.A in 2000.
