GET A LIFE! Gilette gives info in English, French and Spanish on my razor blades (I know because I just bought some five minutes ago). What's wrong with playing to different linguistic groups to expand your market.

Boycott boycotts. This one in particular is really stupid. Sorry.

What exactly is wrong with listing ingredients in Spanish?

I got a flashlight today with instructions in French, Spanish, Japanese and English.

Not another flashlight, not one!

Just eat your chips and pick your fights wisely.

Oh, big freakin' deal. I just bought a new Whirlpool washing machine, and it came with instructions in English and French. Should I take it back?

I think you'll have a hard time finding anything exclusively in English.

Bought a new VCR some years ago...the instructions were in English...well sorta. Actually, they had been written in Japanese and then TRANSLATED into English. However, some things became lost in the translation. One instruction said something like, install tubing into port wisely. Huh?

:)

I'm still appalled that the Moen kitchen faucet we recently installed had no words of instruction in any language - just pictures!!!

Last night there was a commercial on tv totally in spanish. I was so shocked I don't know what they were selling. It's not bad enough I have to pay for spanish channels (ok, throw in the golf channel, too) but now it's on the regular channels as well.

I appreciate companies listing information on different products in Spanish. Since I am learning Spanish, it is helpful to see it in the real world.

There is nothing evil or even liberal about foreign languages. You point of view is frighteningly xenophobic.

Well, that's it. As if we need a reason to not eat Pringles.

Having braille letters raised into an automated drive-up window beats this problem hands down!

But until they start paying off in invisible money, I'll have no problem with it.

My radio just played the macquerena, so I shot it.

My word. How evil. That a major international corporation might actually print something other than English on their products is just... just...

smart marketing.

Now, if they put ONLY Spanish on their products, that's another thing.

But did you hear that there's actually an evil satanic cult that runs Proctor & Gamble? For proof all you need to do is look at their logo.

I mean, 13 stars? You do the math. And you can clearly see 666 in his beard!

Oh, and did you know that Starburst candy stays soft because they include spider webs in the mix? Unfortunately they often include spider eggs, too. So if you start to get an itchy feeling in your stomach after eating a Starburts candy...

I saw a bottle of Bean-O with Spanish writing on the label.

Do you want me to boycott Bean-O?

Think reeeeeeeeeal hard before you answer.

Oh no!
Those danged Mexicans, and Central Americans, and South Americans, and even some devious Europeans might eat some pringlas and want to know what's in them. Blast the dirty dastards that provide it for them!

There is such a thing as looking for things to get upset about where none exist and I think you have just defined it for me...
