I have been quietly observing the commercials that dare to latin-up their products lately

Yep. The commercial I was going to post about just came on (I'm psychic that way). It's for Macy's and the woman has some kind of accent. It's not as Spanish sounding as I'm used to, but judging from her looks, it's probably supposed to be a subtle Spanish accent. I bet she speaks Spanish in the Telemundo version of the commercial.

There's a PSA against steroids that's in Spanish and a few other that use some very Spanish-looking/sounding actors. If companies want to advertise in Spanish on the international channels, that's their business. But when I'm watching Lifetime, dammit I want to hear English!

Press one for English, will soon be press two for English.
