    Why does Lampley "do the accent" when saying foreign words and placenames?

    I noticed it repeatedly last night when he talked about Mexican sponsorships... it first came to notice when he introduced a Katsidis fight and he talked about how he was from (puts on Irwin voice) "Australia".

    Is the guy such a weed-addled fuck trumpet that he thinks you can't pronounce a non-US country without having to do it in the appropriate voice?

    It's a very Fat Yankian thing to do. I remember coming over to Fat Yankistan on holiday and girl telling me her Aunt was English and came from (puts on an accent that sounds like one of those butlers opening the door in Universal horror movies of the 30s) "Marnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnchester."

    I look forward to the day when this shrieking fanboy goes "And here's Manny... he comes from ahhhhhhhhhhhhh... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... phirropenes."


    Also, check out Royston Fat Yanking it in the third round last night: "Bradley could care less, Jim."
