I'm watching the LA Laker game and............

This is the first time I have ever heard a commercial in spanish only.
Carl's Junior
This commercial was not 15 seconds, but maybe 30 seconds.
What if the consumer does not speak spanish??

Were you expecting Taco Bell? They banished the Frito Bandito. What medium delivered the signal... dish, cable, antenna, Juan Valdez's burro?

And you're surprised? Get used to it, you'll be seeing more and more of them until you won't see any in English.

You live in a place called "Coto de Caza" and you're surprised? (Though I must admit, I haven't seen any non-English commercials on English-speaking television stations, before.)

The only spanish speaking people in Coto are gardeners and maids.
That is unless you are bi-lingual

I can't believe it, 2 El Pollo commercials in 100% spanish,( actually it's not spanish its mexican) my Linguistics teacher verified it.
2 different languages.
American and English are completely different too, but, that's a different thread.
I don't claim to have great grammer, but learn friggin english, at least "American"
Sorry for my rant

Last I checked, this is an English speaking board,
But if you want to watch a great basketball game and you can't speak english, tune into FSN they bring you up to date every few minutes.
They just played a "Norms restaurant" ad in all spanish, for yall who dont know what "Norms" is, its a step above/below Denny's

I didn't see the commercials (switching back and forth to another channel) but I did see or "hear" the switch to mexican language play by play for several minutes. I hit the mute button and a little while later fired off a letter to the network.
Idjuts.
