Is anyone else as outraged by this as I am?

I think there may be some cross connecting and co-mingling of two different issues.

The primary subject was about food vendors and their practices of catering to certain languages.

Paul Streitz, a Connecticut activist several years ago, conducted an extensive study of McDonald's, the hamburger chain, cataloging employees who looked Hispanic and spoke Spanish. Since he was professionally in Marketing Research he was very knowledgeable. Results of his study revealed a shockingly high percentage of Spanish speakers. Down along the coast on Long Island sound some restaurants had as much as 90%.

Paul was the leader of a large group of Patriots. When he released his report about half of the members took strong exception to it. They maintained that Paul had solely relied upon appearance and voice and that he really had not vetted the employees and actually didn't know who they were, where they came from or their immigration status. *( In other words racial profiling ). They took such strong exception that they rejected both Paul and his report, split off and started their own separate, autonomous group independently. Essentially the two were at loggerheads.

On the two separate issues of tourism/language/business and immigration in Europe, France has monumental problems with the Muslims and Africans who are overrunning the country. Nicolas Sarkozy, the President, has been loading them up and flying them out. The Muslims, you may recall, torched France back a year or two ago. There are areas in the Paris suburbs where the police will not go.

An update:

Ths company still hasn't responded to my request to disclose the participating outlets

In addition, if you absorb the ad in question, it states that you get a free pizza if you place your order in spanish. It is not at all clear on whether you must pay for that order before getting your "free" pizza. I'm guessing the free pizza is one you get after you pay for the order that you placed in spanish

This is just a typical false or misleading ad that is getting extra legs by pretending to be part of the immigration issue. We'll follow it still just to see whether any consumer laws are broken

We actually have those places here in Vegas , Needless to say I will not be getting a free pizza. besides they also advertise that you can buy pizza with pesos and they are huge on advertising you can BUY PIZZA WITH FOOD STAMPS. they are only in the latino areas of Vegas.

Yes, I've noticed that in L.A. and OC w/in the past year. Lots of restaurants that cater to predominantly Latino crowds are prominently advertising that they accept EBT (food stamps).
