Raleigh Councilman Offers Child Naming Rights To Google

Anonymous Meoward writes "In what may be the weirdest perk proposed by a municipal authority to entice business, city councilman Bonner Gaylord has offered to name his unborn children Sergey and Larry, after the founders of Google. All he wants in return is the search giant to build its proposed high-speed fiber-optic network in Raleigh."

    Sergey and Larry are not really bad names considering his kids will already be teased for their last name

    Not until the one kid gets the nickname Sir Gay Gaylord.
