about 'em wee islanders' irrational fascination and infatuation with chinks from the western hemisphere. or american-educated chinks/east asians returning to asia. who, to their wee mind's, are so darn exotic.
puke.
now, the wee island dedicated news channel's morning show have replaced the no-brainer pair of american-twanged filipino's of chinese extraction with yet another pair of american-twanged asians. one, a south korean bird who's a wee island permanent resident; the other, an american-born chink (ABC) from los angeles. or going by the proper name they give themselves, asian-american.
to think that for a broadcast channel that originates from the islet, they have to source for third-rate foreign "talents", eh? especially ABC's who are out of work back home.
as enscribed by the letter b @ September 29, 2004 06:46 AMno, american seems to be the accepted accent in these parts. and the fact that an english accent reminds alot of 'em wee island gits how much they have had "suffered" loads - real or imagined, but did they really? - under the brits that may explain why they hate it.
but of course to certain LCD's they just can't tell the diff between accents.
as blahed by the letter b @ October 1, 2004 07:31 AMSomehow, an American accent has more zing and I guess people would rather listen to an American sounding voice than a British sounding one in the morning that may possibly induce sleep? IMHO of course...
as blahed by La Idler @ October 1, 2004 07:19 AMyah, but strangely they didn't go for someone with antipodean, or english; or even scottish or irish accents - which i'm sure there are asians who do acquire these. but i'm not implying meself.
as blahed by the letter b @ September 30, 2004 01:19 PMwe just haven't perfected the accent yet. the day that we do, they'd probably hire us cuz we may go for lesser pay...
