Rumours of Grand Rapids' death have been greatly exaggerated

Submitted by travis on Tue, 31/05/2011 - 18:06

I'LL START by being completely honest: I have no idea where Grand Rapids is. I know it's in America, but I couldn't tell you the state without Googling it. If I had to guess, I'd guess Missouri, but I might be getting it confused with some other town.

[I just Googled it. It's in Michigan. Forward your complaints to A Current Affair.]

And up until about twenty minutes ago, I didn't particularly care. And then I stumbled across one of the most incredible YouTube videos I've ever seen. Yes, it goes for about nine minutes, but it's totally worth it.
