What's the country's ugliest accent? It's a Scranton vs. Pittsburgh final
Posted: October 15, 2014 - 5:57pm
The dubious title of the country's worst accent will go to one of two Pennsylvania cities, according Gawker media readers.
Voters in a month-long ugly accent tournament on the site have chosen their final two worst accents, and either Scranton or Pittsburgh will walk away a winner.
Scranton advanced by taking out Tallahassee earlier this week, while the Steel City edged a more formidable foe in Boston. (You can view the complete bracket in the picture at right.)
For those of you who aren't too familiar with the Electric City's infamous dialect, we can think of no better introduction than the old Rock 107 character Jonesy, man. Have a listen.
