The Battles for Google Fiber Begin

You may have heard in the last few days that Topeka, Kansas renamed itself  Google, Kansas, in a bid to aid being chosen for Google’s Fiber offer.

Now, the San Jose branch of the Biz Journal (which brings us our own Orlando Business Journal) reports that Duluth Minnesota has upped the ante with a YouTube spoof video (introduced by Duluth’s real mayor).  In this video, the fake mayor announces that all first-born males must be named after Google (among other things, like congratulating them on sucking up first.)

On the serious side, this video points people to the website they setup to raise support for bringing Google Fiber to their town.
