Miao

I’ve already made passing mention of them, but apart from their general form as the morning announcers in the studio for the Commonwealth Games, one of the reasons I consider the two fools doing it as fools (and I still don’t know their names) was watching their throwback to the table tennis last Friday where arguably Australia’s best player, Miao Miao, was taking on Nigerian Oshonaike Olufunke. Yes, her name might be pronounced meow, as in “the cat’s meow”. It’s really not a good reason to make a joke and laugh at her. It might even have been okay to make an open, honest crack about it, but to put on a pretence of seriousness while your co-host next to you cracks up – that’s not acceptable. If nothing else, it’s not professional.
