I live in South Florida. I have noticed more and more commercial in Spanish. Since Comcast jacks the volume of commercials by at least 30%, having somebody all of the sudden screaming at me in Spanish is very jarring. I am not anti-hispanic. But I get like 8 Spanish channels. For those that don't speak English, why are they not watching those channels? And for the Hispanics that are watching English-language channels, why would there be a need for Spanish-language commercial. To me it's very, very annoying. Does this happen in the northern US?

Thoughts on this?
