I did notice it and cringed a little, I'm American but have been to the UK a few times and have many colleagues from the UK in the company that I work for.
What I noticed from that scene when you heard the voice over as some body recorded the Blur with their cellphone camera was that the Blur was standing on the same rooftop that has been used for Metropolis scenes in other episodes. Nice touch of adorning it with a Union Jack to give it that merry old England feeling.Comment

You wanna know when I cringe?
Every time I hear that moron Russel Brand open his mouth.
My god... you people ought to lock him away somewhere. What Smallville did was minor compared to how he protrays the British in R/L.
On a daily basis.Comment

Lol, I'm British and I don't speak London or typical English but I didn't find anythin offensive about it. Sure it's sterotypical but that's television for you. You are never going to see someone with a Manchester accent on an American show or at least speak like they are from up North, at least not usually anyway. Usually they choose the most obvious English people as possible with the most obvious posh, British phases, it's kind of amusing to me actually.

That's funny because the people who say "Y'all" come from a completely different part of the US than the people who say, "maaaan"
It really makes me wonder how screwy Hollywood really is about their English stereotypes, I've never really thought about it before this thread.Comment

I was sooooo happy that Clark came to Buenos Aires! At least this time it looked like my city and not like that cascade they pretended to be the Iguazú Falls in season 6.Comment

God I couldn't agree with you more. I HATE that guy, and i'm always secretly dissapointed when someone I know says they like him!Comment

Smallville obviously needs to start doing just a teeny bit of research before they leave Metropolis!

Heehee! It's awesome to be someone whose city Clark came to! I was all excited when he was in Seattle last year! Although, for some reason I was supposed to believe that it was abnormal for a snowstorm to happen in the middle of April! Pssht!

That was an awesome scene with Clark and Zod in Seattle. As far as the snow, I think it was the temperature of being in the 60's and snowing that was unusual more than the place.Comment
