It's a Southern ThingI have kept my silence long enough, because of the atrocity that has been pulled on us for years. I am sick of the horrible Southern accents that Hollywood has imposed upon us. One of the worst offenders from the very beginning has been Col. Sanders.
Yes I'm talking about Col. Harland David Sanders the original creator of Kentucky fried chicken. He wasn't even a Southerner. He was born in Indiana. But I have to say his southern accent was much better than this re-creation that Kentucky fried chicken has thrust upon us. It makes me furious about all the horrible southern accents that have been thrust upon the South and were disposed to think that it's nice and funny. If it wasn't for the fact that the Beverly hillbillies were just so funny, all of the southern accents except for Donna Douglas's just wanted to make you throw up. This latest assault on the Southern accent is just too much to take. If you are going to pay homage to a southern colonel at least get one with a true southern accent. I don't know how you feel about it but I am so angry when I hear that commercial with this new so-called southern colonel that I see you read every single time. There are so many people out there that have true southern accents, but yet they get this bozo who sounds like he's from Ohio.
Don't get me wrong , a Ohio accent would be fantastic for someone that needed to have an Ohio accent. I need to hear a southern accent instead of what ever kind of accident it is that he is trying to portray. Too long northerners have made fun of our accent and told us that we sounds stupid because of it and they don't even know the difference between a common southern accent and a high southern accent. It just makes me want to ask them do you think the people from the Jersey shore sound like they're geniuses
