British Vikings/Barbaians?

[Andrew Longman]

I've always thought the Capital One ad campaign featuring the barbarians who are held off by having the right card in your wallet to be one of the funniest and more effective ads out there.

But Trevor asked me the other day why they had British accents.

Good question. And I was a little surprised that I had never thought about that.

What say you?

BTW they have their own facebook page. Of course. http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Capital-One-Vikings/107300775971209

What a silly question. Of course it is because the actors in the ad are British.
