(From ProEnglish)

Super Bowl XLVIII is over, but America is still reeling from one commercial that aired during the big game.

Coca-Cola’s ad entitled, “It’s Beautiful,” featured people of different ethnicities singing the patriotic song “America, the Beautiful” in a handful of selected foreign languages. The languages included Arabic, Spanish, Hindi, and Tagalog.

Of course, private companies are free to market to consumers in any language they chose. This, too, would be true under an official English law. However, we believe that this Coca-Cola commercial directly undermined the spirit of national unity “America, the Beautiful” was intended to foster. Instead, the divisive ad wrongly depicts Americans as separate linguistic groups and rejects the historical American ideal of one nation unified under a common language - English.


ProEnglish believes that American companies, like Coca-Cola, should demonstrate greater corporate responsibility and promote civic unity, not disunity, whether that means linguistic or any other kind.


We encourage you to stand up for English unity in America and let Coca-Cola know what you think!

My letter to the Coca Cola compnay:

I was offended by your "America the Beautiful" commercial in multiple languages. This national song deserves to be sung in the language it was written in-- English. Your ad is a wishful one-world-order corporate dream that the majority of Americans don't subscribe to because of its commerciality and denial of the borders that still comprise our country. Sing another song, Coke-- and leave America to Americans. We're already supporting far too many illegal immigrants and The People don't subscribe to your borderless world money-making bonanza.
