Nutella

Disclaimer: I am a weirdo freak about the proper pronunciation of words.  Now I’m sure that there are words that can go both ways *wink, wink, nod, nod* but there are just some things that really kill me.  Living in Texas, as I do, one of my biggest pet peeves is the pronunciation of Pecan.  PUH-KAHN, not PEE-CAN.  OHMYGOD. I’mabouttogointoconvulsionsjustthinkingaboutit. 
So anyway, I’m watching TV the other night (actually watching that CRAY-ZY new gypsy show, which I’ll no doubt bring up another time) and a new commercial for the peanutbutter-y type of spread, Nutella, comes on.  NUT-ella.  Now I don’t know where this beyotch gets off altering the name of this stuff but she suuuuure did take it upon herself to do so.  And what the f*ck may I ask were the editors/casting directors of this commercial thinking?!?!  That this idiot just had a cute northern, mid-western (whatever, wherever) accent and the way she pronounced Nutella was because of that?!  No, you a-holes, NOOOOO!!!!  They were probably all getting high in the green room when it was being shot, doing blow off of midget strippers' a$$e$ with David Hasselhoff and a Donkey!! At least that’s the only way I’m going to be able to justify this MAJOR oversight in my head.
The spread I speak of is derived from NUTS, not the nasty little lizards known as NEWTS.  Nut-ella, Nut-ella, NUT-ELLA you freaking idiot, AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
