World: Jón Gnarr: Reykjavik, Iceland’s comedy mayor serious about his job

  • Just because something is funny doesn’t mean it isn’t serious.
  • Reykjavik, Iceland mayor Jón Gnarr • Regarding the numerous silly campaign promises he made prior to his election. See, Gnarr won election as mayor last month on the strength of a comedy party with a hilarious campaign video set to the tune of Tina Turner’s “Simply the Best.” Now, with the Best Party in office, he was unwilling to form a coalition government with any other party unless they had watched every season of “The Wire.” And the free towels? Yeah, he got those taken care of. source
