(Like Nails On A Damn Chalkboard!) The Spanish Channel Epidemic Is Driving Me Crazy!

Hey, party people!
Instablogs is the place to be, ho!

By the by, when I say the word “ho”, I am not referring to hooker, Ashley Dupre, i’m referring to the name Pimp Daddy Eliot Spitzer calls out when he comes inside Ashley Dupre, “ho!”

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Anyhoo, back to the show!

People, i’m gonna’ make this short but sweet.
Sarcastic but smartass.
Sacrilegious but sassy!

My criteria for the next president of the United States is pretty damn simple.

All I want for “election day” Christmas is my two front teeth and a president who will stop the Spanish channel epidemic.

People is it just me or does anybody else notice the trillion and counting Spanish channels rapidly taking over the American airways?

I mean, don’t get me wrong, as a modern Black chick I don’t have anything against Hispanic people, probably because I don’t know any.

P.S. I save my hate exclusively for Black people because that’s the kind of racist bitch that I am.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Just kiddin’ yall!

Movin’ on!

Not that it’s any of yalls damn business because it’s private dammit, I have basic cablevision and currently receive 125 channels. And out of those 125 channels, 111 of them are Spanish channels.

I kid you not! (Well, maybe I am exaggerating a tad bit but I think yall get what I am trying to say.)

I mean, don’t get me wrong as a modern Black chick (this is my catch phrase for this article, “don’t get me wrong as a modern Black chick”) I love a good telenovela like any other illegal immigrant in the United States but GODDAMN!

Do I have to have this shit in my face 24 hours a day 7 days a week on 111 channels!

I need a break!

Like motivational speaker, Susan Powter used to say, “Stop the Insanity!”

Hey, I gotta’ a few questions for yall that will make you go, hmmm. (I love you Arsenio Hall! Bring back the Arsenio Hall show!)

How come the Spanish channels ALWAYS come in perfectly clear wherever you are? Huh? I mean you could literally be living under a rock and the Spanish channel would come in pitch perfect.

Personally, I think that it’s a conspiracy to drive us crazy! I just know it!

Question number two: In order to get some local stations in some states you have to get a cable hook-up. But how come you don’t if you are a Spanish channel? Basically it seems all you have to do is plug the tv into the outlet and you get a gazillion Spanish channels whether you want to or not.

I’m telling yall it’s a conspiracy to drive us crazy and you know it!

America, I pose this question, why this boob tube discrimination?

Can’t all television channels get along? (At this time I would like to send a shout out to Rodney King! By the by, great catch phrase brother!)

So to reiterate my wish which most of you have probably forgotten due to my long-winded rant, I am begging and pleading with the next individual who steps into the oval office to please please please do the right thing and do whatever the hell you can, legal or illegal, to stop the Spanish channel epidemic!

Please!

Because it’s driving me and Britney Spears crazy!

Knowledgeable Question:

-Are yall down with the ever-growing spanish channels taking over
the American airways or is the Spanish channel epidemic driving you
crazy too?

Several Spanish channels claim that Bin Laden's family has great business interests in the United States including in the area like snapple, VW, a medical research company. I did hear something about George Bush that he was being paid by these companies, I didn't believe on it. It was not less than surprise for me actually.

I have been tired watching Spanish channels, it gives us everything but our own news. When their set up in this country, hey have their studios in Florida, why they give more information except news from US.

My dear Tracy, Why do you want news from US when the information we have been receiving from Spanish channels is better than the US media. unlike you I have been tired watching Bin Laden's face on the TV many times. Us media is busy in teaching us about Afghans, Taliban, Anthrax. They repeatedly show us Arabs breaching security at airports, Arabs arrested at sensitive places, almost every country is catching Arabs near churches. I have seen laden's speech at least ten times a day, Goerge Bush's face on every Channel. American channels are showing the burning flags of US. I don't want to see these things more so I love watching Spanish channels

Nothing wrong in having more Spanish channels. In fact, there must be many, many more. It adds to the diverse culture that America has, doesn't it? You might agree that USA's linguistic and cultural diversity is under-projected. For the outside world it looks like a nation that speaks only English and has no more than 2 hues - black and white where in fact the truth is completely different.

Coming back to the growing number of Spanish channels, well, it couldn't have been possible unless there was a market for it. The market demands and the industry feeds it. Simple as that. Else, most of those channels would become inviable to run. Simple :-)

BTW I really loved the way you wrote this post. Keep them coming. Cheers!

This is in preparation of an imminent invasion by Latin America (sans Brazil) led by Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. Once the USA is defeated the border between Mexico and USA will be thrown open and as a result millions of Spanish speaking people would rush into America. So you see, it is just a preparation for the future audience and markets. :-)

Makes complete sense as there are well over 40 million Hispanics in USA who speak and follow Spanish. Apart from the Hispanics many more follow Spanish and speak it fluently. USA is the 5th largest home of Spanish speakers in the world after Mexico, Colombia, Spain and Argentina.

I don't see a problem with more Spanish channels hitting the airwaves. In any case English channels are not threatened by them, not in the wildest reaches of imagination. So put on your dancing shoes and tap to some catchy Spanish tunes.

They are actually getting too intrusive. Some of these channels are downright offensive and not like anything we know or saw in America before. Looks completely alien to me. The best way is to filter these channels much like you filter spam from your inboxes.

Yea right Andrew, Chavez is invading. With Castro (the original) gone, the threat is from south than it ever was from the east. This epidemic will ensure that people switch off their TV sets and radios and then when he eventually comes riding his pony through the borders in the south no one would know. No emergency announcements will reach the Americans. Deep conspiracy, don't you think so pal?

Lucky you,


In addition to all US channels in English you have time on and curiosity for watching something in other languages.

Metalinguistics broadens a mind as well as pillow talks with partners from different backgrounds.

Stable chemistry, amigo!
