Phony Pholks

Why is it that so many of these phony elite snobs on TV do this accent attempt on certain words? Do they think it makes them more worldly or more elite because they pronounce a word different. Take the word Pakistan for instance. Very simple word even from the looks of it. But the pundits cannot stand to speak this word without attempting to add their phake phony phonics, which in their minds they must think it brings them up a notch or two from the regular citizens, so instead of the normal word of Pakistan we get, Pock-e-Stahhhn.

Damn that aggravates me. But after-all I am not an elite. Right?
