Do other countries like US accents?

Among people who do not speak English, they frequently say that people speaking English sounds to them like ducks quacking. The "General American Accent" is accepted by much of the world as "How Americans speak". This is the general dialect spoken by announcers on television and is common in the mid-western part of the country.

As to liking or disliking it, most people listening to it have no opinion. It is seen as bland and easily understood. Some American accents have taken on a "personality trait" - southern accents are used by bullies in B movies if male, and seductive (but a bit slow) women, New York accents by loud pushy people, and hillbilly accents by country bumpkins or psychotic killers (like in Deliverance)
