Seriously? Wang Wang?

stephbgAdelaide is bustling with excitement at the pending arrival of the panda pair Wang Wang and Funi.
A few points I cannot not note here:
* 'Layout' is not a verb. (Nor is login, setup, or breakup.)
* If I were Claire Peddie, Science Reporter, I probably wouldn't want to associate this article with my Science Reporter hat.
Adelaide Zoo said the procession would leave Adelaide Airport at 10.15am, with or without Wang Wang and Funi, because the welcoming party in Rundle Mall would run from 10.30am to 2pm, regardless. Either way, the pandas will not be going to the Mall.
The pandas will have a police escort and "green lights all the way" into town from the airport.
That's right, the panda celebration (all right, "pandamonium") will not contain any traces of actual panda.
* And leaving aside the obvious issues here, why is the Adelaide Airport safety officer talking about fibreglass model pandas? Not the PR person, the media liason, or the pretty plastic checkin people, but the safety officer.
The procession will include the panda pageant float and 12 utes, each carrying a fibreglass model panda. The life-sized models have been lined up along the runway for a week. Adelaide Airport safety officer Peter Willoughby said they looked "fantastic".
