February 03, 2014 Super Bowl XLVIII is over, but America is still reeling from one commercial that aired during the big game.  Did you see it?    Click the video to watch the controversial Coca-Cola Super Bowl commercial   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!   TAKE ACTION! Contact Coca-Cola’s Consumer Affairs department! Let them know what you think about their foreign language ad targeting a largely English-speaking audience during the Super Bowl.   Call:  1-800-GET COKE (438-2653) Write:  The Coca-Cola Company Attn: Good Answer P.O.
