Mayor of Salt Lake City is an idiot

The Mayor of Salt Lake City is opposed to municipal Internet projects, because the Internet is bad for your quality of life and deprives you of fresh air.

"I just don't see the social good in using taxpayer money to fund a network that provides more television and bandwidth for illegally downloading files," he said. "We should spend money on getting people fit, rather than deteriorating their quality of life with higher bandwidth to surf the Net."
