My hispanic problem

[SunnyD]

Dominican family moved in next door and all of a sudden I see roaches in my apartment. I haven't seen one in years until the day they came.

Smoke em. Duh.

No, I have nothing against hispanics. But I do have a problem involving them.

The problem doesn't really involve "them". It involves the cable companies, their marketing materials, and you.

I think that this is both annoying, and disgusting.

Like someone said already, what's disgusting about it?

I was hoping that Spanish version ads would feature more of those hotties from telemundo, caliente noche etc but they dont. 🙁

Order some bandannas and start rolling around in your low rider, esse.

Indian? :awe:

No!

Mixolydian sounds more Armenian to me.

That's not my name!

 

[sdifox]

No!


That's not my name!

There are Indians that have Portuguese last names because of colonialism.

Did you accidently click #2 on your touch-tone phone when calling one of them? "Para espanol, marke dos".

annoying i can understand but what exactly is so disgusting about the situation?

English, Motherfucker, do you speak it? (I do.)

Not that I am aware of. But you might be on to something there.

Embrace it. Declare yourself Hispanic on forms from now on. When you have a kid, say he's Hispanic as well and his chances of getting a college scholarship might go up.

Somehow, in the various "marketing databases" floating around, someone (mistakenly?) marked me as "Hispanic".

So now I get FIOS ads online at my home in Spanish.

I also get printed Comcast letters at home, urging me to switch to their triple-play "Latino" packages, in Spanish.

I think that this is both annoying, and disgusting.

While it is true that I've taken a few years of Spanish classes in HS, I AM NOT HISPANIC.

And due to lax data-protection laws, I have no legal recourse against these marketing databases that I am aware of.

The logical solutions is to kill yourself, its the only way to be sure...

I guess I'm disgusted with the fact that marketers have such power over our lives.

Hearing spanish language ads is 'power over your life?'

So, you're complaining that you can't understand ads you don't want?
