My mate put it well...

"Yes, let's not aspire to be like a place that revolves around superficiality, greed, plastic boobs and churning out crap movies aimed at the lowest common denominator."

fuk the sign.. its a ghey idea

Its like a short wee man wearing massive platform shoes so he is as tall as the "big boys" = unoriginal, hardly unique and so obvious.

It has a hint of "your dads lame sense of repeated humour, but he thinks hes hilarious" syndrome

must be an idea dreamed up by a drug fuked queer kunt from the seventies who still thinks hes cool

who is the everyone else laughing at us?

years ago DVKE decided it might be nice to put up a BIG Viking statue...

a SMALL group thought a warrior might scare some ppl away OR that it should be more Native ie Maori

to this day I get people calling into my shop looking for it so they can see it

Considering the History of Dannevirke it makes sense to celebrate the "Viking" culture.

Wellington's sign isn't really along the same lines with history.

That sign is historically inaccurate. Vikings never had horns on their helmets, never has one been found with them.
