<Some> Americans think everyone in IRL is still rolling around in donkeys & carts! ( Mind you if the recession keeps biting.. whoops...now I'm sounding like a "Been to America" arsehole- things are just as bad over here- at least ye don't have two poxy wars to pay for..)
To be fair, considering most Irish Americans ancestors came over here at least a hundred years back, its surprising the stereotype is 'only' stuck in the 1950s, this girl is just playing to the audience ( If it's true, she native born from west of IRL*)- but it makes me cringe when I see this stuff. Although I will concede that the whole St.Pattys (sic) thing was almost embarrassing to me at first I've grown to learn it's harmless enough codology that's a genuine (if twee) expression of fondness for Ireland.
* Not to be a cynic, but I wouldn't be surprised if this bird is Ukrainian ( nothing wrong with that before the eastern european ladies gang up on me..) who's exploiting a niche market! I'd go & see her myself but knowing my luck she'd actually be my second cousin from Clare
