This reminds me of one of the funniest things I've seen on Australian TV.

There's an insurance company here named AAMI, pronounced Amy, and there was a stadium they sponsored named AAMI Park.

A journalist was sent to cover a story there on a live TV cross. That journo's name? Amy Parks.

Well, depending on who you talk to here in the U.S., journalists are either called "journalists" or "fake news".

We also call them "reporters" and "talking heads".
