(Yes, UM-American)

I got MacDonald's the other day, because the new Chicken McNuggets give me a wicked hard-on. And on my fries, there was one of those peel-off game pieces for their latest contest.

It told me I did not win. Then, right below that, it told me I did not win... IN SPANISH. Apparently, game pieces now have to be bilingual.

Now, I got MacDonald's again today. 3 more game pieces. All said I did not win... all in a different way ("Sorry, maybe next time." or "Sorry, you can't always win."). And all said I did not win... IN SPANISH.

So, fuck you and your bilingual non-winning game tickets, America. Fuck you in your little hispanic ass.

And fuck you for lowering the chances of me getting a free ice cream or some shit. 4 losing pieces in a row? Fuck you. I remember when I could pull off a piece and AT LEAST win a fucking small fries. Fuck you, fuck you, FUCK YOU.

Everything in Canada has to have French on it. It's quite funny, because half the time, the French translates into nothing remotely related to the English.

I think if the hispanics want to get into our country, we should have at least a deadly obsticle course to cross from Mexico.

You are missing the point. >:

This is a "sorry, you didn't win shit" peel-off game piece on a fucking cup of soda. I can understand that we're a melting pot for all cultures. But isn't this a little too far?

If things keep going like this, the next dollar you take a look at might say, "En Dios Confiamos en" above "In God We Trust."

My main concern is why you didnt win anything. Four game pieces that were all losers. Its a shocking conspiracy. Back when they had the monopoly game you would always win something, even if it was a shitty apple pie that burned your mouth.

Another way of taking our constitutional rights. If they were in ONLY english, then some of the hispanics wouldn't know they had won and they'd have to extend the contest to get rid of all the surplus sodas. This extension would lead to further soda winnings for all the english-speaking guys and still no soda for the spanish-speaking guys. CONSPIRACY! CONSPIRACY!!

I believe they should have the obsticle course and if they make it through they should have to know good english (more than one sylable words like fuck and shit) and if they dont they should have to go back to mexico through the obsticle course and cant come back.

the whole bilingual thing is motivated by expanding your market. You cater to whomever you think are going to be buying your product and if you have a large spanish speaking population it's good business sense to have it in both languages.

Our country, Our language

If they wanna live here, they'll just have to learn English. They should do that instead of sitting on their cars all day without any shirts on.

WE DO! Haven't you fuckers ever seen "El Norte?" I'd rather sneak across the U.S. border to Africa than sneak across the Mexican border to America, you retarded fucks.

And fuck you, Perfect Suspect. The mexicans without shirts sitting on their car hoods are citizens. Those are the children of illegal immigrents. Or they're Puerto Ricans. Illegal aliens from Mexico live in cardboard shanty towns and work 22 hours a day digging holes and burying them again.

The Monopoly game was a sham. They put the pieces you needed to win in a different country or something like that. They stopped doing that Monopoly thing. I agree with Jamesman, they did go alittle to far when they put Spanish on your goddamn peel-and-lose ticket. I think it is because there are more hispanics coming into our country. (I knew someone who worked at Census)

The obstacle course idea is stupid, as all the mexicans athletic enough to complete one are already in the US.

Les Waste

Robo missed the point. >:

And yeah, there are now more hispanics in the country than there are black people. They are the biggest minority in the country. I think I heard in sociology class that there will be more hispanics than white people in the country in something like 50 years.

I suggest you read punkgrrrlie10's post. It isn't about being an ethnocentric redneck who thinks the whole world knows (or should know) english. It's about money ... period. If you run a business, you have to stop waving a flag long enough to realize there are more nations (and sources of revenue) in the world than english-speaking americans ... even in america. Hell, at the very least, 1/6 of the world speaks chinese or indian and that still trails the hispanic-speaking population of the world. Just sayin' :)

14 percent of the world speaks Mandarin chinese. I don't think that's the most though. There are a lot of Spanish speaking countries.

It has to be more than 14%. 1.3 billion people (almost all of whom speak Mandarin) is more than 14% of the population.

Where in the World Is Spanish Spoken?

Source: Ethnologue

The places listed below have Spanish-speaking populations greater than 100,000. Unless otherwise noted, all counts are 1995 estimates.

Mexico 86,211,000
Colombia 34,000,000
Argentina 33,000,000
Spain* 28,173,600
United States** 22,400,000
Venezuela 21,480,000
Peru 20,000,000
Chile 13,800,000
Cuba 10,000,000
Ecuador 9,500,000

Dominican Republic 6,886,000
El Salvador 5,900,000
Honduras 5,800,000
Guatemala 4,673,000
Nicaragua 4,347,000
Bolivia 3,483,700
Costa Rica 3,300,000
Uruguay 3,000,000
Puerto Rico 2,690,000
Panama 2,100,000
Paraguay 110,000

So I was wrong about numbers. Of course chinese is more spoken....in China. Spanish however is spoken all over the place, including the US....

Plus, commies hate freedom fries.
