That's a waste of time?
I think it's a much bigger waste of time to try to organize a festival and not once mention it. ESPECIALLY when one of the supposed necesities of this festival is being criticised as a completely pointless road closure.
Do you honestly think that the papers in town are so anti Druh that they wouldn't publish anything to do with this festival just to spite her?

No, I don't think it would have been a big waste of time in her saying it, but I don't think people would have been listening. That's what makes it a waste of time.
I've seen it with other issues in this city (Calatrava bridge for one), where people have had misconceptions, then public officials have responded to those misconceptions, but the public goes on having their misconeptions. And the media (esp the Sun) feeds those misconceptions.
What I'm saying is that if the public officials tried to make EVERYONE understand, they wouldn't have any time for anything else.
