New Zealand going Hobbit
New Zealand certainly fell victim to The Hobbit craze as testified by the (temporary) renaming of Wellington for starters.
But not just the town has gone Hobbit, apparently so did the airways. I wouldn't mind flying that style, really. |

Wow... that flight video cracked me up. I love that the Nazgul king has an iPhone.

Just as long as you get permission before using the word "Hobbit":

For EU that's generally 70 years after death of the author, I believe, so that would mean.. in 2043.
Could take a while. Of course it could be a trademark thing rather than a copyright thing, which is indefinitely IIRC and much more of a 'use it or lose it' matter. If they don't make enough show of stomping on other people's reaching hands, they can lose it themselves. |
