Grrrrrr
Yeah, so I know its been a while since my last post. Its been a long few weeks. Lots of crap going on, but I'm hoping it will come to end soon. Its been tough for me to find time to blog lately, but alas... I have found something that has annoyed me enough to make me want to blog!
I'm all for diversity. I sort of have to be anyway given my current profession, but in general, I'm a pretty tolerant person. I have sat idly by as ATMs started to ask which language you would like to proceed in, as automatated telephone answering systems give an option for Spanish, as Stop&Shops Self-Checkout started to offer a Spanish option. I have said nothing... The buck stops here though.
I have been having a bit of a rough week, so today while I am here at work alone, I decided to go for a drive on my break. I went to the fabulous Staven Stop and Shop to get myself some goodies to munch on for lunch. One of those things... Pringles. I was just really craving them, so I figured... why the hell not.
As I sit here back at work getting ready to consume my scrumptious Pringles, I notice that the Nutrition label... the ignored staple of our Fat American Society... it now in ENGLISH AND SPANISH! Ok dude... seriously... it says something when the one thing that we as Americans ignore the most... is now being offered to another culture to ignore.
THAT PISSES ME OFF! Learn to ignore something in your own country! Don't take away the one decent thing that we have left... the one thing that most Americans don't understand. *sigh* today... is a sad day.
