Mickey Mao?

BBC NEWS | Business | Dogs’ fate gnaws at HK Disneyland

Jeff Randall on Radio 4 did a great piece on the opening of the HK Disneyland. Sounded like an overwhelming day in terms of humidity, queuing and desultory protests, accompanied by the clang of cultures realigning without synchromesh.

ISTR that he avoided saying either ‘chairman mouse’ or ‘mickey mao’so I thought I’d fill the punning void 😉

The doggy title made me think it was on the menu (after all, it was only in June that Sharks’ Fins came off the menu) but the story’s about a clear-up around the area… One sighting of a giant Goofy
should’ve been enough to clear the area.
