    Good looking people with no talent become models. If he wasn't a footballer he would still be one of those annoying attractive people. :p

    Average people with a couple of hundred million in the bank who dont abuse drugs tend to afford as many pots of 1000 euro anti wrinkle cream and as many home gyms, swimming pools and personal trainers as they want with all the knock on effects in relation to aging and physical condition etc. Life is also a lot less stressful. Plus in general money and success automatically makes men a lot more attractive to women.

    A golden flower for me? Oh Mario....

    Honest question: Has any woman looked at that ad and decided that they wanted a 3DS?

    That's not true, they definitely have. Advertising works.

    Sure, they must have been in the market for getting the console anyway. Just like a person isn't going to suddenly want a car after seeing a commercial, but it certainly can sway a decision.

    A pretty accurate representation of your average Cork (or is it Kerry?) man I would've thought.

    Looks like an Irish version of the horrible horrible ads they run in the UK with Paul Whitehouse playing a variety of "hilarious" regional and cultural caricatures. If this is so we can look forward to a character from the midlands, north etc. each of them more irritating than the last.

    That new Meteor advert with the Deefer attempt at an English accent which fails and resorts to an OORR TEE EE accent at the end.

    Christ thats an awful ad no doubt. Mario is normally funny but i would consider that an insult toward Cork people.

    There are noticable variations. In the South East, the R is pronounced in a uvular manner so that it almost sounds like 'UR' (the historical Norman/French influence). The flatter 'AR' is more common as you go up the country. The Deefer 'OOR' is an affectation modelled on the Northern Irish 'R' and the London/BBC Received Pronounciation. Thank God there were no Deefer pirates - everyone would have died laughing when they said 'OOORRR, moy heOORRTEEies'. :)
