Ads with more than one meaning

Basically, I’d like to start off by saying that I don’t find anything wrong with ads being printed in more than just English in the United States.  Following along with the telephone menus and the choose a language button at the ATMs, I think it is very commonplace to see Spanish or any other language offered whenever English is as well.  While I don’t have a problem with it, I feel like I lot of people do and don’t want to be bothered with the fact that they have to choose their primary language on a menu as English.  The only thing I have against it is the fact that the ad is going to kind of lose its edge with two separate languages attempting to give out the same message.  I feel that maybe there should be a better way of doing this so that a lot of people aren’t mad.  With this I feel that Americans will be much happier and won’t have to pick English as the language to speak in America.
