This is really just a viral ad for Under Armour.

all advertising was like this, I wouldn't have as much an issue with it. Hiding an ad in entertainment is fine, as long as you're not beating the viewer over the head with it.

Well, minus the quarterback stuff.

But my favorite was talking on the phone with a customer who announced that "You don't sound like you're from Boston. You sound, (pause), educated."

I blame Matt Damon too. :)

my sister in La Jolla.

"Buttah"
"Pup-cahn"
"Ide-ah"
"Sah-gint"

And the all time favorite;

"Gah-bage"

To which someone invariably says.....

"You sound just like a Kennedy!"

I went to college in upstate NY, and without fail every time I told someone I was from Massachusetts I got some variation of the following, "Wow! You don't sound like you're from Massachusetts! Why don't you have an accent?" I always felt like saying "Because I'm from Berkshire County dumbass, we don't all talk like that. Massachusetts does not equal Boston." It got really tiring after a while.

I don't have the "Boston" accent and I was born and raised in JP/Westie. I always get the "Wow you don't have the Boston accent" comments too when I travel to other parts of the country.

And when I came to Boston for college everyone I met said "You don't sound like a New Yorker!"

No shit.

I was amazed in WMass where natives had accents that sounded more like Chicago than Boston or New York.
