I find Target's new commercial, entirely in Spanish, featuring the ula ula song, disturbing. I turned on the closed caption option on my tv and I read the Spanish lyrics, but they are meaningless to me. Does this commercial bother anyone else?

I don't get bothered my commercials. So no.

There are better things to get bothered about.

Pull the shades, lock the doors and start humming The Battle Hymn of the Republic incessantly.

While we're talking about things we find annoying, I get annoyed and embarrassed by other "Americans" who embrace know-nothingness and revel in their neanderthal ignorance. One of the primary ways this ignorance manifests itself is in absolute hostility to foreign languages being spoken in the United States. Goddamned morons, you make me embarrassed to be American.

For the record, I despise commercials. Conversely, I love remote controls. When one learns the value of the latter, one solves the first problem/annoyance.

Also, it's not entirely in Spanish. The words on the screen are in English. Only the song is in Spanish.

Actually if one would learn the value of not purchasing a television there would be no need for the latter because the former would not be an issue in the first place.

True. We just went without it for a week and I didn't really miss it, but there are sporting events I do want to watch and two particular shows, so I do get in line with the other sheep on this one.

I do find it obscene when I see the amount of money fools dole out for televisions. You really have to make a commitment to elevating television to a primary focus in your life when you make those type of monetary commitments.

Free market, don't like it, go to...., really nowhere, except maybe Haiti.

Don't buy their product if you don't like it. End of story.

Crappy Chinese merchandise sold in Walmart bother me, therefore I don't buy them.

In my area our local cable company runs ads in Spanish with no English translation. WTH? When did native English speakers become insignificant. This isn't Mexico but the U.S. and the majority of us speak English. I am glad I have dish network.
