The Michigan accent is funny. I kind of like it though.

For people who don't know what it sounds like, not sure if I can find a video of it but I can describe it: It's fairly nasal and slightly Canadian sounding. Vowels are heavily flattened so that words like "flag" end up sounding like "flaeg" and words like "bob" end up sounding like "bahb".

The reason I was laughing a while ago when dac claimed that they train news anchors to speak like they are from Cleveland is because a Cleveland accent is fairly similar to a Michigan accent.
