I wish that guy would do the same for the MMP debate.
Then maybe people might know there’s a referendum in a few weeks. Let alone what all those complicated initialisms stand for, let alone work.

So Wellywood gets blown away, eh? Wonder whodunnit. Eye suspect a taniwha.

It will be great if Wellywood wins… then we can say… There’s a lot of Dead Wood in Wellywood.

The great passion surrounding the Wellywood ‘controversy’ shows the shallowness and real priorities of liberal white people.

@ Murray
All the pansy cry-babies in Wellington who get upset because people in other places (who actually don’t give shit about Wellington – except that it takes their taxes) might think they’re not cool because of the sign.
I’m white BTW.

Great video! I’m all for the Wellywood sign, but it seems that Wellingtonians are just a little too precious.
Put the sign up and get over it, in a few years you’ll be wondering what all the fuss was about!

Wellington – making small towns look big. Good to be on the “A” issues

Why the hype about a completely irrelevant and unimportant sign?
Surely, there are more important things to discuss, e.g., NZ becoming a republic or the sexual life of sand flies in Milford Sound.
Long live the Wellington “intelligentsia”.

The problem with the sign is that it gives people a licence to call Wellington “Wellywood”.
No one in Wellington uses that name. I’m not sure anyone does. If tourists started using the term when talking to Wellingtoniains, they’re going to leave with the impression Wellingtonians are short tempered.
It’s like calling your town “Wankersville”. Or “F*ckland”.
It’s not just a sign.

Peter, I think those are quite reasonable substitute names for Wellington ! Now if only Wellywoodians (sorry, Wellingtonians) could just get over themselves a little…

You could use those names, but you wouldn’t be ensured a polite reception.
The Wellington Airport board does not have a right to define us. It’s as simple as that.

The Wellington Airport Board must have fuck all to do apart from put up landing charges and figure out new ways to use their monopoly position to extort more money from travellers so to fill in time they come up with this sort of mindless bollocks.
Well done news parody

Why would anyone want to put a sign there in the first place? This blog urges us to vote Green, and here we are debating how best we can chop trees, create pollution (through manufacturing and fitting) and generally deface a hillside.
Vote:Leave nature alone! Scrap the whole sign idea. Spend money on more worthwhile projects.
