No. I am just quietly confident that your department doesn't actually hold the views that you've expressed here.
-
If your thinking is representative of your department's or your faculty's
I wouldn't worry about that to be honest.

I'm a big big fan of Kihikihi's kihikihi.

And how about this for an open dialogue with the citizens on how the city should present itself:
He did not know when a decision would be made, but said it was ultimately up to the airport. "It's airport land and airport money."
Gee, it would be terrible if the Wellywood sign went up in spite of the fact that nobody wants it and then something were to happen to it, wouldn't it?

I suppose it could be worse. We could go Otorohanga's way.

"All your bases belong to us"
"All your base are belong to us." Let's be precise.

So... unless somebody comes up with a better alternative, Wellywood stays. Even though the most obvious better alternative is the hill with the trees. So much for a backdown.
Weta aside, all that has been proposed makes Wellywood seem like a stroke of genius.
Other alternatives included Wellington, Miramar, or Middle-earth signs, and Argonath gates from Lord of the Rings flanking the cutting.
The last one cracks me up. We too could become a Fascist tourist destination!

But we can think they're wrong, right? And be annoyed when what they do is held up as a Big feminist Triumph?
Yes we can. To coin a phrase.

OK, sorry, what? Desperately hoping this is sarcasm or something like it.
It was double-sarcasm-plus I think.

Due to complete lack of popular request, here's the story of the first time I saw a weta. I had just arrived in the country and was staying at Justine's parents' place in the Waikato. What you need to know about her mum has a lot of little decorative statuettes of ceramic and glass around the house. I was brushing my teeth one night and I looked up to find on the windowsill one such large and rather exquisite statuette, in the shape of an insect of truly unusual size. Then the statuette moved.
Yikes.
