Kermit, The Mexican Political Candidate 'With Eggs' That Disney Wants To Ban
A couple of years ago Kermit the frog stopped being known as "La Rana Rene" in Latin-America.
However, he is still known in an unofficial way by that name. Just like I still buy a Marathon chocolate bar rather than "Snickers" as it says on the label.
