Colbert Loses His Mind over Coke’s ‘Foreign Talk’ Super Bowl Ad

Following in lock-step behind Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Fox News last night, Stephen Colbert was positively apoplectic over Coca-Cola’s Super Bowl ad that featured a multilingual version of “America the Beautiful,” or he put it, full of “foreign talk.”

After making a quick detour to mention his own bizarre Super Bowl ads for Wonderful Pistachios, Colbert moved to the only ad that really mattered. After showing a clip of the ad, he writhed in pain from the assault on his ears. “They were singing ‘America the Beautiful’ in foreign talk!” he exclaimed. “I mean, c’mon, only English can give that song its certain ‘Je ne sais quoi.'”
