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.
