At a recent concert in Miami, Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz sent some fans into a tizzy when he donned a “Chavez Sucks” t-shirt:

While Sanz was performing “La Habana,” a female fan threw a Venezuelan flag at the singer, who put his gift on and wore it like a cape. Another excited fan tossed a shirt on the stage that said “Chávez Sucks.” The Spanish artist, 39, picked it up and showed the controversial words to the audience, who applauded wildly at the gesture.

Like our mother always says, you catch more flies with honey. Or more honeys when you’re fly. Or when you pander to your audience. Or something. We don’t really ever listen to her.
