I'm Not Finnished
Finns should be up in arms over this Australian ad that makes fun of their nationality.
But have you ever noticed how local radio ads will use ethnic accents all the time? Usually voiced by some white guy doing his best "Italian," "Jamaican," or "Irish," guy, I sometimes get offended that those stereotypes live on. Then I laugh.

Remember the white guy who could parrot any ethnic accent? The Richard Gazer character was a favorite of mine. Hilarious.
