LAKE PARK, Fla. – A South Florida car dealer says he has no plans to stop airing Spanish commercials on English-language TV stations, despite furious complaints from outraged viewers who believe he's catering to illegal aliens and destroying American culture.
"I'm enjoying this crazy situation because I know I'm right," says Earl Stewart, owner of Earl Stewart Toyota of North Palm Beach.
Stewart has become a lightning rod of controversy for pitching Toyotas in his basic Spanish, while English subtitles are shown on screen.
The ads are featured not on typical Spanish-language stations, but rather the Big Three network affiliates in Palm Beach County as well local Comcast Cable channels like CNN and MSNBC.
The commercial opens with Stewart standing in his showroom as he introduces himself in Spanish.
The English subtitles provide the translation, stating, "I'm Earl Stewart. I'm sorry I don't speak Spanish, that is the reason I can't answer the red phone in your language. But many members of our team in all departments do speak Spanish."

This is all about free publicity.
Watch any Spanish speaking TV station and count how long it takes to see a bikini babe. They are far more sex-obsessed than English speaking stations. Mucho macho culture.
What you are seeing come across the border are descendants of Mexican Indians. Spaniards are white Europeans.
There is closed caption in Spanish too
