   According to [1]Fausta, the King of Spain's famous shut up Hugo moment
   is a huge hit in Latin America. There's even a ringtone...

     The "Por que no te callas?" fallout continues. While the story went
     mostly ignored here in the USA, it was the story of the week in
     Latin America and parts of the USA: there's even a ringtone:
     The king's on the phone, and he says: 'shut up!'

     To give an idea of how much attention the king's five-word outburst
     has received, consider the numbers on YouTube.com. Three YouTube
     postings with the exchange have been viewed almost 800,000 times. 

     By comparison, the first part of the YouTube/CNN Democratic debate
     received about 73,000 hits, according to YouTube.
