Really? The great master Goatze would be disapointed

Oh dear god, I deplore this kinda thing. Two vacuous narcissists who will make tonnes of money for being nothing other than vacuous narcissists. Please please please just go away.

That’s the problem, they are not making much money getting 10-20k views on youtube. You can see him getting desperate lately trying to promote himself to get more hits. Reality starting to bite. The way he uses his wife and unborn child for profit isn’t very nice. She’s always used as the preview screen shot on their videos.

Yeah , are these people actually for real . I watched some of embeded clip and its left me confused and bemused . This is like that film big where two rather annoying kids are havemanged to get trapped in adults bodies . they must have bought the accents on ebay

Anna was born in America -facepalm-

OMG I feel so sorry for that baby when it arrives. What a pair of silly people, what planet have they been on ….. he is the most annoying of the two!

She’s been here since she was 7.

Maura, I’m 24 years in Vermont USA and some people still dont understand me. Though people back home say I sound like a yank.

Been 53 years in London and still have my Irish accent. However, English people who talk to me in pseudo Irish accents really piss me off. I had an engineer work for me in the 1970s who insisted in thinking he was funny by addressing me this way. I gave him a written warning and the next time it happened I sacked him on the spot.

Cool stories guys!

Yea my sentiments exactly.
I don’t blame these people for making this trash… If that’s what they wanna do and nobody is being harmed then fire away.
I blame those who watch this stuff and support it. If nobody was interested in ‘reality tv’ then there wouldn’t be any.

I discovered Anna Saccone’s blog when I found out that I was pregnant with my first child and wanted share with women who were going through the same experience. Lots of women talk about their pregnancy on Youtube and it’s just one extra place to chat to other women, talk about your pregnancy with other people from different areas in the world, it’s a bit of fun more than anything and I’ve met some nice people through following pregnancy blogs. It doesn’t mean that I have a “shit” life, as I said it’s just a bit of fun. Also, the press are making such a big deal out of the Saccone-Joly birth : Out of the whole process, they’ll probably only end up showing about 10 percent of it and even then, only if it actually goes well. Birth is part of life and I don’t see what’s so awful about sharing a part of that with others (while keeping some intimacy of course which I think they’ll manage to do through editing)

Your life must be shit as ours, if you had the time and day to write that comment.

Nah, those ‘accents’ are made for TV3

Or Brian Ormonde doing anything

Anna was born in America.

Or the look on his face when the baby doesn’t look like him?

“nordberg!!!”

Hah, “an Afro? Wtf?”

She’s Italian-American -facepalm-
Got nothing nice to say, don’t say it. Just a shame there isn’t a cure for trolls like you ;-)

Spot on missus. Unfortunately there will be enough plonkers out there to push up the views. I’ll be watching johnsers version of postman pat.

So if I did the exactly same as they did in their vlogs ect, you would call me a desperate wannabe? Ok ;-)

they should have made a video of conception too,they would have a few more hits

they should have made a video of conception too,they would have a few more hits.

I don’t recall bad American accents being indigenous to Southern Eire.

Southern Eire??? Your friends call you King Billy?

I’m sure they wouldn’t want you near them ;-)

Pretty sure she’s Italian-American. I went to college with Jonathan but never met his wife.

Thanks Barry, so she’s American. I am starting to understand now. Her accent is rubbing off him and his off her and mix it all up with them living in cork and everything is rubbing off each other.

do you know him? what is so awful about him??
you are right, there is no explaining some people….especially when they judge people they don’t even know!

…and shameless self promoters!

how would you even know that??

You can’t blame The Journal. It’s a quality feel-good story. You look at the video of these people, and feel good because you’re not them.

UterusTube! Nice one, Mike, the pun is still strong within you. Could’ve also had Bib Brother. Just sayin’.

I totally agree.

I don’t really understand why people have to be so nasty about people they don’t even know, just from watching a video on them.
I personally know Jonathan, as I used to work with him in Dublin, and he is a really nice guy. I don’t know Anna, but she seems like a lovely person too, and had her own channel on youtube (The Style Diet), before they started doing daily vlogs together.
So what if they make videos on their lives, they are not the only ones! If you don’t like this type of thing, fair enough, no one is forcing you to watch it, but don’t judge people based on what they do. You don’t know them, so why be so nasty about them?
And as for the accents, yes Anna has an American accent, she’s from there, but moved to Cork in her teens! Jonathan is from Dublin, and to me he sounds like he’s from Dublin!?

Couldn’t agree more.

I certainly choose not to watch this absolute muck. It’s a bit different though when it appears up on the newsfeed of thejournal with a link promoting all their previous episodes also.

Exactly, people are such trolls these days. They have nothing nice to say!

@ john cause

Exactly.

She left there when she was 7. I’m guessing the fans have been mobilised to comment here.

Ha Ha , What a Tosser! So William, should we learn to speak more grand like the native English speakers in Newcastle or Liverpool?
Accent is always generally linked to one’s level of education or social background, this is common knowledge.

No need for personal attacks, Johnny Boy.

I’ve never heard a native from Newcastle or Liverpool putting on a fake American accent, probably because they are not ashamed of their accents.

What I do notice is a large portion of Irish youths resorting to fake American accents in order to hide their identity, or lack thereof.

Here’s Williams only tweet on hi account: @ClassicHits4FM Ireland is culturally Anglo / British, but Irish people can’t admit it. Let Irish die out. We all want to speak English

And judging by your Twitter profile you’ve neglected to educate yourself to even a basic level. Ulster is not in the United Kingdom William, Ulster is one of the four provinces of Ireland. I live in the Beautiful county of Donegal in the province of Ulster and the last time I checked I don’t live in the ‘United Kingdom’ (Using the term United loosely here) , sorry to burst your bubble but you might want to brush up on elementary geography my unionist friend!

And your point, Sean? “We all want to speak English”, oh, ok, 99.9% of us want to speak English.. you got me there.

Back on topic. I see that this YouTube couple are from Cork. Do you think they’d get 30k view per video if they spoke in Cork accents?

It’s no surprise that Irish youth are desperate to cling on to American and British culture in order to form some sort of identity for themselves. They are brought in in a country that has long since ditched its own indigenous culture in favour of Anglo / British culture.

It’s funny, but sad at the same time. to see these confused people trying to mask their accents in order to fit in.

I am sorry but that is the most ridiculous thing I have heard in a long while (actually I think a previous comment complaining about the mass being held in Dublin castle was another one). First off an example of shame please? Who on earth is ashamed of their Irish accent and ashamed of what? Secondly .. an air of stupidity – well now thats just being prejudice. I don’t think you can assume one’s IQ levels are low because they don’t pronouncer the ‘th’ in words.

I aslo know from personal experience, and Im sure there is many that when travelling abroad when someone hears an Irish accent – In a lot of places – people gravitate towards you looking for the ‘craic’, so I cannot understand why one would hide it.

But I did a quick look on your twitter and seen that you’re from ulster and you guys up there don’t have an Irish accent – and I’m sorry, you must be jealous of our awesomeness.

In fairness William the faux accent thing can be specific to certain locations. I know of a private secondary school where the well to do students put on a culchie accents in their gang and revert to the posh well to do accents when talking to mummy or daddy on the phone. Quiet hilarious to hear. So that’s an example of the exact reverse of what you said where these kids are embarrassed by their accent (which frankly is a faux posh English accent) and prefer a culchie Irish accent.

“It’s funny, but sad at the same time. to see these confused people trying to mask their accents in order to fit in.” I think the confusion is in your own head mate.

of course people in the north have an Irish accent! Are you trying to say that a South Armagh accent is that different to a Monaghan accent that it’s not Irish, or that a Derry accent is that different to a Donegal accent that it’s not Irish?

Anyway accents are hardly that great a form of an identity. Only Language can fulfil that requirement.

William, you have a ridiculous view of history if you think the Irish just “ditched” our culture and language. I’m afraid it was part of a systematic plan by the English and then British state to eradicate it. Not even the revisionists deny that.

William, I susect I will kick myself for responding to such blatant ignorance but however.. I am VERY proudly Irish. Born and raised. While I may not be proud of the many ills in Ireland, I have never nor will ever change or attempt to conceal my Irish accent which has notes of Corkonian as opposed to Californian.
As soon as one hears a person talking sh*te, it’s hard to take them seriously. There is always an air of stupidity that surrounds the typical ignoramus…..

William u sound Just as bad as him if not worse keep on typing cause god forgive anybody Might hear u speak and Look down on you and laugh

Jesus your all very quick to judge and start pointing at IQ levels and education when actually neither one of them is from Cork…She’s a native American and he’s from Dublin so why would either one of them speak with a Cork accent?? It is pure rubbish though!

Not defending them because I think it’s silly, but I went to school with Jonathan (who’s actually a sound fella) and know he’s a dub that’s done lots of travelling so affected his accent. His wife i think is Italian-American so how could you expect her to have an Irish accent?

Get a life !!! You are either really thick saying something like that or you are like that pair looking for attention !!

Last 2 comments just made my day. Also, i thought some1 would comment on the fact that when the dogs “speak”, they hav a cork accent!!

This guy needs to banned from posting here.

I promise you,he will permanently drag the level of debate into the gutter and it’s only a matter of time before more of his ilk start joining in.It’s no different to any other type of infestation.

Leave Liverpool out of your petty argument thanks. :)

Peter, I think you’ll find I have been personally attacked on several occasions here, yet I doubt you’d call for their banning.

Just because someone has opposite views to you doesn’t mean they should be exluded from debate.

Anna was born in the states and has a part American, part Italian family which could explain why she has a slight American lilt. But to honest, I don’t think that either of them purposely put an accent on, you don’t hear Jonathan trying to pronounce “TH” like an English person, he always says “tree” instead of “three” which to me is about as Irish as you can possibly get!And I certainly don’t think that there is any shame attached to their heritage, they often talk about Ireland, Irish culture, the place they live, they really don’t come across as self hating Irish people. But of course you can’t tell that by watching a little bit of a 20 minute video…

William,you don’t have any interest in contributing anything relevant to the article.There is no actual debate,you are only interested in making outrageous claims about Irish people,some of it now bordering on racism.

Like many of your ilk,you are only interested in infantile mud slinging.Now you are crying about being the victim.This is classic Ulster loyalist fare that i’ve seen play itself out like a mathematical equation a thousand times before.In fact.it’s happening right now with this Donegal Road situation.Yawn.

William, you are entitled to your opinion, but everyone else is entitled to question and counter that opinion. The thing is at no point did you say ‘i believe’ or ‘i think’ or similar, You assume you are stating fact. Needless to say by the responses and red thumbs your getting your opinion is more than wrong its just designed to incite a response or even more so a reaction. Opinions like yours are what has kept the six counties back for so long. It’s just plain ignorance.
From my point of view Irish people are more in touch as a whole with their culture and heritage than many other nations. I have a strong midlands accent (not seen as the nicest in our large selection of accents on this island) and I have had it while living on 4 continents and 15 years out of the midlands. I’m proud of it, and I enjoy listening to other Irish accents, as do many of the English speaking world.
You by default have proved you hate Ireland, its culture and even they way its people (of which your are one) speak. Accents in the north are neither British or American as much as it might hurt you to admit they’re Irish. So as bigoted as your opinion might be you will have to come to accept that its only ever going to be that. Your opinion..

@SJ…. You are obviously the couple in the video, SJ = Saccone Jolys. You shouldn’t try to fool people by pretending to be random observers. If you want to defend yourself on this feed then at least be honest about it.
