Is it me or do all 1950s male narrators sound exactly the same?

[@emijar9108]

+Ma Zano yeah because back from 1960's and before all american narrators/actors tried to sound the same with the made up accent the Transatlantic accent

[@juzzyboxx2185]

In the 50's Hollywood created a popular accent called the Mid/Trans Atlantic Accent to appeal more to the public and create a universal actor/announcer accent tone, the accent was even taught in private schools,!unfortunately it has died off over time almost as if it had vanished, it's a shame I really love the accent it's beautiful

[@Bambi_Harris_Author]

+JUZZY BOXX they need to bring that sound back, it has a classy reassurance that is lacking nowadays

You would think that with all the cars that have failed recently and all of the recalls on vehicles that have killed people, car manufacturers would go back to making quality cars, in the United States, made with steel. It's sad that cars last only a few years at best.

[@michaelam9063]

It would be awesome if they went back to rolled steel, but the law in the U.S. says the cars must have crumple zones in certain areas, hence the lighter metal they've been using. Not to mention that it's cheaper. I was never quite sure WHY the law requires crumple zones though...

[@TheAwesome45]

Yeah because no airbags and mental dashes wear so safe.

I love how these are advertising for things we need instead of things we think we need. (20 different blenders that all collectively do 5 different things or vegetable choppers that aren't all that great and do the SAME thing for 20 bucks each) But it also kind of bothers me that the narrator says "It's yellow/red/green" because the TV only shows black and white. (Yes, there are different values of black but we still can't see its color. And yes, they could just go to the store and look at the box but it still messes with me)
