The Big Picture: Continanity: Rebooted

[sageoftruth]

As a Bostonian myself, I find it difficult to listen to Bob's lovable snobbery through the accent I usually hear from guys doing construction work or running subway stations. I hope this is a passing fling.

I have to say, I'm from the suburbs and used to listen to a lot of NPR on the weekends... so I have to admit it reminds me most of Tom and Ray from Car Talk. They had to tone it down when they went national, but it didn't get completely eliminated.

I don't mind the accent itself, but drifting in and out of it is horribly distracting.

Yeah. I've heard some car talk myself. Never got through it completely. I just can't stand the Boston accent. As was mentioned in the last Big Picture, when I hear it, I think of the Scout from TF2, and that does not go well with anyone who's trying to come across as intellectual on any level.
