Cleraly, you would not want to use and English accent to sell dentistry, or indeed an American one to sell anti-obesity or intelligence pills. These things are not true, but adverts are not about the truth.
So car insurance, wireless internet, and laundry detergent are all things English accents can help sell because?

Everyone is taking this way too seriously, I just am annoyed with the commercials is all....I thought I could vent to you on here in a humorous manner but noooooo everyone has to get all serious on me
