I never said it was ugly. It's in fact, a very correct Spanish, one of the best. If you're a true "bogotano" I'm sure you don't pronounce "Y" and "Ll" the same. And that's not the only difference with the rest of the country.
The accent they call "santafereño" has a distinctive sound. Bogotá, being a big cosmopolitan city, is inhabited by people from all over the country and even other countries, so that particular accent I'm talking about has been restricted to a few families who consider themselves descendants of the pioneers, the founders of the country.
