Norwegian Black Metal Legend Runs For Town Council As A Joke; Wins Unexpectedly

http://www.factmag.com/2016/09/12/fans-elect-black-metal-legend-fenriz-to-town-council-darkthrone/

Fenriz jokingly shared a photo of himself holding his cat (whose name roughly translates to Peanut Butter) specifically asking people to not vote for him. Now he will be required to serve as Councilman Gylve Fenris Nagell for four years before stepping down is an option.

This just might be the most insipid "inspirational" thing I've ever seen litter my FB feed.

i saw something almost identical on my feed recently…  something to the effect that "the grass is not greener on the other side.  it is greener wherever you put effort into making it green".

is this a guerrilla marketing campaign from the lawn care industry?!?  if so, isn't their timing a little off?

I live in the city. I don't have any grass to water.
