Proud to be an American?

On the radio this morning, I heard a British girl group get interviewed. The host asked them to speak in their best American accents. One whipped out a Southern accent, one talked like a New Yorker, and one had a baby voice. Not bad. But the most depressing part to me was that they had clearly picked up these accents from reality television: Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo, Mob Wives/Real Housewives of New York/Jersey, and the Kardashians, respectively.

Not the best portrayal of our country. Although I'm fairly certain my attempt at a British accent comes from the Spice Girls, so I guess turnabout is fair play. Cheerio, y'all.
