  • did that guy have a fish in his mouth??? haha

  • @wrecieve92 It was actually made of rubber. At first, I thought it was real! Thanks for watching!

  • Sounds like he was more excited about Google Fiber than the Special Olympics. He wont be re-elected! Plus it is obvious the google fiber was somethnig they just added on to something that was already planned for the Special Olympics......Weak!

  • @redfishjackson It may have been weak, but boy did it get our city worldwide (and Google's) attention!

  • Wow what is with the flying fish? We attacked their water so they're attacking on land!

  • @darkdrifter123 I wondered that myself. I was the guy who shot the video, and I didn't even recall the fish. I'm sure it was fake.

  • If I had google fiber this would download much faster! Go Don!

  • I wish Chicago had someone like this. Better than having a thief, liar, criminal.

  • well topeka changed their name to google for a short amount of time and they still didn't win, so jumping in some cold water sure as hell wouldn't make google bat an eyelash.

  • Don Ness Rocks! Lead on.

  • Aww.... Kansas City won.

  • @7paypay7 it is warm when you spend most of the year in -10 to -20 degree weather!

  • @Whazel

    The Mayor is jumping to get Google Fiber in town. The organization that helps put on this event gets little support from the City of Duluth for this event. Simple fact is that he was trying to be a cool guy to get a big business into town and used Special Olympics. Not so cool.

  • The Plunge raises funds and awareness for Special Olympics Minnesota, not Google Fiber like redfishjackson pointed out. This seems like a commerical for a cereal. "I like Googe Fiber because it clears my head out of my ____. Why am I here again?"

    Mr. Mayor you seriously missed the point.

  • It's funny how he said 35 degrees was warm weather. LOL

  • @FrWaters17 Thanks
