I ran into the idea that people are biased against thick accents in '59 seconds':

   "If the gloves don’t fit, you must acquit." Rhyme is actually persuasive. 
   (In general things that are easier to understand/remember are more persuasive; 
    people distrust the same words said in a thick foreign accent, for that reason).
