That said, I am offended by Johnny Thunder's accent. Truly awful.

I did not know he had an accent. Is there a light & sound Johnny now?

Check out the comic on the LEGO site, particularly "The Restless Mummy". He
sounds like a mutant cross between Steve Irwin and Crocodile Dundee. The
amusing thing is that even though Johnny has always been Australian, Steve
is a recent phenemenon , so it's only in the latest episode that he goes
Cri-key!

It seems that India, Tibet and China aren't the only countries that are
suffering from cultral stereotyping.
