A Florida county has been slammed for posting an 'extremely embarrassing' GIF of a dancing taco on its social media pages to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage month.
The one-second GIF, or short video, illustrates a smiling taco holding multicolored maracas in each hand and a swirl of sour cream for hair.
Broward County deleted the gif from its Twitter and Facebook accounts about five hours later after a storm of backlash on social media.
Hallandale Beach City Commissioner Sabrina Javellana said the post was 'extremely embarrassing' on Twitter — whereas other users showed disgust with the county's choice of GIF, calling for the person who made the tweet's resignation.
