speak more clearly!

i happened to come across this website at the google advert on my blog that's called
'dabew dabew dabew [dod] speak more clearly [dod] com'
the purpose of the package that they are selling is to teach you a british or american accent. i wonder what the purpose of getting a british or american accent is.
why should we, or anyone at all, get a british or american accent? do they feel superior? do they feel that it is better? what makes an accent better than others? according to the website, having a british or american accent helps us to be better understood. but why don't they learn our accent and understand us? ethnocentrism is at work again.
to add insult to injury, they have a speech therapist, which suggests that our accent is a problem that requires a therapist to fix.
maybe we should start a site that says hearmoreclearly.com. learn our accent and better understand us!
