Fuck Chicago

So apparently Ely, MN has just thrown its hat in the ring to host the 2016 Summer Olympics. And I am totally on board.

The news dropped on April Fool's, but buddhafisch over at Wild Times claims they actually sent in the application. I'm just way too lazy to look up whether or not its true. And that doesn't really matter.

There a website, Facebook group, and online petition. The best part of this whole thing is the press conference that was held (you can watch in HD!):





Man, I want one of those T-shirts.

Ahh, this was on the news the other night. I think the deadline for submitting applications is long past. Not to say that it wouldn't be awesome.

Our journalistic integrity is sure to get us a spot in the Wild Pressbox next season.
