Ernie, our production supervisor (the "radio waves hide angels" guy) is outraged at the moment.  It seems he picked up his prescription at Walgreens, which advertizes on their bag that they can print your presciption information (dosage, warnings, etc), in 30 different languages including Spanish, French, German, Tagalog, etc.

This has ruined his Walgreens experience, apparently, as "Those People should learn to speak English", and "Everything in America should be done in English only".

Because it's just silly to provide VITAL, POTENTIALLY LIFE-SAVING INFORMATION in someone's native tongue.  It will only further encourage Tagalog-speaking illegal aliens, or even Germans.

Oh, Arizona!

The angels are hiding because they can't speak English.

I hope he isn't planning on traveling to another country ever. That'd REALLY piss him off.  :lulz:

He is of Hispanic descent, but refuses to go to Mexico when his friends go, because "that's where all the criminals come from."

That's better than everyone in my town referring to the drive thru convenience store owned by an Indian man as Arab Alley.  Pronounced Ay Rab, naturally.

They call them "Iranian stores" here.

I have yet to meet an Iranian-American.  I know they're out there, but I have never met one.

I knew 1!  Wasn't ethnically Persian, and actually Arab so that made all the pointing out of such things a fucking problem.
