Here are the nom­i­nees for the Welling­ton Supervil­lain of the Year cat­e­go­ry for the Sec­ond Annu­al Welling­ton­ista Awards (2AWA).

Who con­trols the traf­fic lights?
Who keeps start­ing gram­mar fights?
They do, they do
Who keeps bus­es off the maps?
Who keeps ligh­trail under wraps?
They do, they do
Who’s in love with John McGrath?
Who thinks only of the car?
They do, they do.
Who builds only ugly tow­ers?
Who abus­es their all their pow­ers?
They do, they DO!
(with apolo­gies to The Simp­sons)

Only the most bad­dest wickedest and evilest should apply, and they do, after the jump.

A. Terry Serepisos for the buildings

An explo­sion in a bling fac­to­ry Welling­ton’s tallest phal­lus build­ing? Sure­ly a city so hung up on design and urban­ism would­n’t allow such a thing? Espe­cial­ly from a man with such a bad hair­cut.

B. John McGrath

We hate on John for the spam, and the annoy­ing vans that drove around, and for call­ing us out on being “Gram­ma Nazis” and because one of us lost their cam­era in one of his bars and we’re sure it was some­how his fault. Also, we hate on him because we’re pret­ty sure that were he to read this, he’d declare it to be because he’s a tall pop­py, and not because he’s a dick.

C. Everyone at UNO magazine

Remem­ber when we wrote about the first issue of UNO and how we hoped sub­se­quent issues would get bet­ter? And then the next issue had on its cov­er “Ter­ry Get’s It” ? And we went “[sic] [sic] [sic]!”? Ew. Please mag­a­zine run from some oth­er city which does­n’t even both­er to include events list­ings for the city you’re pre­tend­ing to be from and is so sad that it needs to be giv­en away because no one is buy­ing it, don’t claim to rep­re­sent us at all. Because you don’t.

WINNER!!!
D. Kerry Prenderghastly

Do we even need to explain this one?

E. Rex Nicholls.

Or should that be Wrecks Cuba? Okay, so we like Cafe Ital­iano. But we can’t think of a sin­gle oth­er thing that you’ve done that we do like.
