I live in South Florida and have Comcast as my cable provider. I have been noticing more and more commercials in the Spanish language lately. I'm sorry and do not want to be disrespectful to anyone out there, but this is America and I can't understand why any commercials should be aired in Spanish. It is hard enough to find many people in this part of town who speak the English language. When I go to a store and need help, the staff does not understand me and therefore, I get very frustrated. Why do I have to watch Spanish commercials on TV? I have a lot of friends who are Spanish who feel the same way I do!
