Subject: RE: Icons of Englishness?
Well, the English used to do comedic parodies of Americans that sounded...ummm...really weird. They sounded sort of like an obnoxious American sports announcer or something like that, any yet...there was something no quite right about it...as if some aliens were trying to imitate Earthlings, but couldn't avoid screwing up some of the inflections.

Hilarious!

I bet the way we do a supposedly "French" accent amuses the French no end, too...
