Congrats to Kansas City on winning super fast fiber internet from Google

Last year, Google announced its plans to wire one city in the US with super fast fiber optic internet, and mayors and citizens alike from around the country sent in letters and videos to make the case that their city should be the ones to win this tech prize. And now, Google’s picked a winner. Congratulations Kansas City, Kansas. Stupid Kansas.

After residents of Detroit rallied together to raise money for a statue of Robocop, much like how Philadephia has a statue of Rocky, now residents of Kansas City, started by a pair of radio DJs, are trying to get a statue of Vicki Lawrence as “Mama” from the show Mama’s Family erected in town.
