Did Telemundo Take Over NBC?

[Whoozyerdaddy]

Jets de Nueva York? Commercials in spanish?

And really... if you're going that far why not call them the Aeroplanos?

I haven't heard that, but I do see "Futbol America" on the field...maybe they're catering to the Spanish speakers in Miami...

It's a huge market. Financially they'd be stupid not to cater to it.

I understand that...and I don't like it...but that's another thread all together.

I agree, I'm not a fan of it either.

Yeah, this is annoying as hell. Please don't turn Football political. Please. If you need the game in Spanish, turn fucking SAP on. That's why it's there.

Why do you guys hate capitalism?

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

spain?

Or wherever...

This Spanish bullshit is annoying.

It's not capitalism, it's NBC trying to make a political statement. I'd be willing to bet that there are a lot of people unhappy about what they're doing.

As for me, I'm more pissed about them trying to be cute for Hispanic Month than anything else. True capitalism would be them catering to their markets as much as possible, which would be using SAP for the Spanish broadcast. When I posted above, I thought they were talking about there even being Spanish broadcasts. I didn't realize that the *only* broadcast had Spanish in it.

That's just stupid.

Or wherever...

just kidding! there's no spainards anywhere around here

Jesus, what was that god awful music just then? I was in the other room and went to mute it. What the hell is NBC up to tonight?

Just part of NBC's honoring "Hispanic heritage Month," or better known as "NBC's sucking up to the Hispanic Dollar."

 

[IronWing]

Turn off the TV. Problem solved.

The music was in English though (I think).

Halftime shows. :shudder:

So when do we get White Heritage Month? :awe:

Yay for xenophobia.

It's simple pragmatism. If you can't effectively communicate with people in the place you're going to live, it's going to cause problems. I can't walk into a math class and say, "I'm going to use Ø instead of +, ╩ for -, ≡ for 2, ▬ for integration, and Œ for multiplication."
I doubt you'd be able to sue for discrimination if they'd insist that you use conventional mathematical symbols.

English is (was?) the primary language in the US, though it seems that even that's getting bastardized more and more by people who are too lazy and stupid to learn proper grammars and punctuationality...ness.

 

[OCGuy]

Is this because they whistled at that latino hooker in the locker room?

 

[da loser]

the nfl is celebrating it...
