TUI: Distracting

[yoda_igorovich]

When Tuoro University International changed their name to TUI University I wondered what they were thinking.  WTF is a TUI?  Sounds kinda like a reaction to catarrh: "ptooey."

Apparently a "tui" is some sort of New Zealand bird, "one of the largest members of the diverse honeyeater family."  

Not exactly an inspiring image on a par with, say, the Thunderbird School.

But then I ran across this:

I know there's a lot of folks with "degrees" from Budweiser U, but now I'm seeing that TUI name in a whole new "lite."

"Distracting the boys from the task at hand since 1889."

They themselves explain that TUI is Latin for "your." Hence, TUI University is your university.
