Ha! In the U.S. they sometimes subtitle English if it has a heavy regional accent. Cajuns in particular seem to be the victims of this, although I've also seen it done to various Europeans with accented English, even if they're Irish or English or from somewhere else that generally speaks English. Think Boomhauer on "King of the Hill".
