North Carolina was the site of the FIRST colony but NC became filled with the Scots-Irish shortly thereafter


Kirkland, your sunshine smile attitude always brightens my day....I don't know how the South gets along without you. Well until you get back here we'll just keep ourselves warm by your burning effigy

Hey you guys I really like the accent on Fargo. YAH. That cracks my shit up. North Dakota. :)

Thats called point avoidance Lyle,you live in a region with an accent thats closer to a British one then anywhere in the states,but 3 commercials with a full British accent cheeses you off

It's more than just 3 commercials, I can find more of them but I was just trying to get a point across.

The Southern accent may be close to an English accent but when it comes down to it, the Southern accent IS different and therefore NOT the English accent and so your point is????

My point is
A)So what you have to hear a few commercials,and maybe the occaisional Hugh Grant film you probably wouldnt want to watch anyway since its a chick flick
B)Just because he says stuff in a Southern Accent,doesnt mean Ron White isnt funny

A) Why would you need an English accent to sell things IN AMERICA....it doesn't make sense

B) Who said anything about Ron White being funny?


Why must you always search out my posts to disagree with them...can't you just sit back and say "You know what, I never thought why a Gekko would have an English accent and also sell insurance in AMERICA....maybe Lyle is right and Geico's marketing strategy is complete shit"....why use an English accent to sell AT&T laptop connect cards? Why use one to sell anything other than products FROM ENGLAND and even then why use them to sell products IN AMERICA?

How about because it works?
I dont think any of the ad reps who came up with the Gieco commercials talk with a thick cockney accent
They probably all talk like Patrick Bateman from American Psycho
My point on the Blue Collar Tour(which I find funny)Larry The Cable Guy doesnt really talk like that at all,he really doesnt have an accent,he affects a Southern accent for his "character"
But try saying Gett'R Done without a southern accent,it just sounds stupid
But I dont get all bent about F-the South
Take pills or something,its just an accent
