They're all bad / weird / annoying / unnecessary but personally I'd rather listen to "up talk", silly Canadian "eh?" suffixes, valley girl speak, NYC / Brooklyn "macho" talk or even southern drawl over the northeast / Boston accent. Nasal, dry and a complete inability to pronounce the letter "r" (which if you study speech development in kids is one of the last sounds kids learn to make, suggesting most people here never advanced beyond a seven or eight year-old level speech-wise). If a stupider, more annoying or more credibility-destroying accent / dialect ever existed I have not come across it. It's hard to take anyone seriously who sounds like that. My $0.02.
