UPDATE: As reported by Fox 6's Ted Perry via Twitter one of the writers from "Napoleon Dynamite" is from Whitefish Bay.
I guess characters on cartoons still read newspapers.
Last night’s episode of "Napoleon Dynamite" on FOX featured its stars reading a print version of a newspaper called The Preston Bugle and reacting to story in which Pedro called the city the "Most Boring in America."
A bystander reacts to the headline by saying, "Most boring city in America, he’s obviously never been to Whitefish Bay, Wis."
Here’s the video. Interpret this random suburban Milwaukee mention as you will. (But remember, Whitefish Bay is technically a village not a city.)
A life-long and passionate community leader and Milwaukeean, Jeff Sherman is a co-founder of OnMilwaukee.
He grew up in Wauwatosa and graduated from Marquette University, as a Warrior. He holds an MBA from Cardinal Stritch University, and is the founding president of Young Professionals of Milwaukee (YPM)/Fuel Milwaukee.
Early in his career, Sherman was one of youngest members of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and currently is involved in numerous civic and community groups - including board positions at The Wisconsin Center District, Wisconsin Club and Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. He's honored to have been named to The Business Journal's "30 under 30" and Milwaukee Magazine's "35 under 35" lists.
He owns a condo in Downtown and lives in greater Milwaukee with his wife Stephanie, his son, Jake, and daughter Pierce. He's a political, music, sports and news junkie and thinks, for what it's worth, that all new movies should be released in theaters, on demand, online and on DVD simultaneously.
He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
