VIDEO: Canadians trying to pronounce Irish names and failing miserably

Joe Harrington

Standard.

St. Patrick’s Day is next Thursday so they’re will be celebrations all over the world.

Toronto is having its parade this Sunday and a group of Irish volunteers went out on the streets of the Canadian city to build some hype about the event.

The volunteers asked Canadians to pronounce some well-known Irish names and as you can imagine, they mangled the hell out of them.
