And I don't think Paula Deen's accent is fake, more than it is exaggerated. But yeah it is annoying as frick, y'aaawwwllll.


Oh, it's fake. She's from the same area as my boyfriend and I've been there more times than I can count. No one there has an accent like that.

^This. I live pretty close and have never heard that shite. It sounds like the northen/hollywood version. Who knows, its probably part of her marketing scheme - which is pretty successful so I guess that fake shite is working.

Isn't she from the Albany area? I have family from there and they all have a similar accent, just not as punctuated. They all talk sort of like Jimmy Carter, which she also somewhat does, but again just more pronounced.
