The Null Device
One thing I noticed that was wrong with the McLympics: the announcers'
accents. Didn't you find it disconcerting to hear an Australian accent
doing the announcements over all the choreographed R&B ballads
(immaculately polished, slickly manufactured mass-market versions of Afro-American pop
music styles; how very Australian)
at
the closing ceremony? Next time Australia hosts the McGames, the
announcers should use American accents, to give that authentic big
entertainment feel, and show that our local subsidiaries of multinationals
can do things as well as the big boys in Los Angeles.
