Ministry of Dick Van Dyke's Accent

A little over four decades ago, an American actor played a cockney chimney sweep / one-man-band / sidewalk artist in a popular family film. He made a hash of the accent, and the Brits haven't forgiven him to this day. Now the Ministry of D.V.D.'s Accent monitors the media for mentions of this transgression against working class English as she ought be spoke. Google "MODVDA" for more information.
