Gidget the Taco Bell dog was, in many ways, the Michael Jackson of the Mexican fast food-endorsing chihuahua world.
The similarities are remarkable. Both were megastars. Both brought joy to an otherwise miserable world. Both combined freakishly large facial features with scrawny little underdeveloped bodies in a way that was a little bit freakish to look at. Both were gender nonspecific. And both are dead.
Gidget the Taco Bell dog died on Tuesday following a massive stroke. We haven’t been this upset since the Hamburgler turned up dead in a Bangkok cupboard with a string wrapped around his willy.
