Someone has called it the Hayley Westenra of Flags, and I couldn't agree more.

Its the Christmas in the Park of flags. Its the Whitcoulls gift voucher of flags. Its the Star Wars Episode 1 of flags. This could go on.

Exclamation Marx posted:I had a feeling the uglier Lockwood would win even though the weetbix one was polling slightly higher; Key & Hooton & Farrar & all the other terrible right wing people favoured it. I was surprised Red Peak came second though, I heard that like a third of its first preference votes didn't rank any other flags. I'm having trouble figuring out which is the "uglier" one. Even if they weren't both equally ugly they just look the same! I can barely tell them apart and my mind still can't comprehend the fact that someone actually allowed two identical options to go into the final referendum. I'm focusing on the wrong part of this whole thing but really...

WarpedNaba posted:I only have a vague recollection of her, wazzat mean? She's a popera singer from Chch, with less charisma than Susan Boyle. Notable for once claiming that "I’m able to sing beyond the reach of human hearing ...There were certain notes that nobody in the studio could hear but the llamas heard loud and clear."

I knew the Popera thing, but not the bullshit. Hell, how the hell was she able to justify that piece of Jim-Carrey Trivia? The lack of charisma, at least, makes the prior post make sense.

She is very popular with middle NZ because she is bland and nonthreatening.

Red Peak sucked, there was a bunch of other cool poo poo we could have given a wildcard to. Once again the extremely vocal demanding few get shown just how few they really are.

Whether or not anyone liked the look of red peak, it is objectively a good flag. gently caress I'd say that it's nearly a great flag. But despite being asked to vote for a flag, I bet most people instead voted for the picture they liked, the picture that told them how to feel about themselves and their place in NZ. So, we get a flag with the southern cross which says "this is comfortable and familiar since our current flag has it" and a fern because sports and other corporate logos. I didn't like the look of the black and white koru, but that's another really good flag. The interesting part is on the left protected from where flags usually fray, you could recognise it from a distance, its fairly easy to draw - even a lovely approximation would obviously be a flag, and its simple. Red peak had a lot of that but was more abstract. No doubt there could have been better options, if only flagologists were commissioned rather than getting it crowdsourced....

The winner looks dated already. Give it ten years and it'll look like this.  [Edit: Good idea.  ]

I am scared shitless that middle New Zealand will vote for a change just because. Then we'll have that abortion of a flag for the next 100 years. I don't mind changing the flag but not for that piece of poo poo.

Since it voted John Key into power then consistently turned a blind eye to his failures, molestations, lies, nepotism, and overall incompetence to vote him in fir more of it.

From a very quick google maps view the middle of New Zealand seems to be about where Kikiwa is. I don't really know anything about them or the place, but I'm very interested in learning why they keep doing these horrible things to us
