Icelandic actor, comedian and mayor of Reykjavik, Jon Gnarr poses in New York
Icelandic actor, comedian and mayor of Reykjavik, Jon Gnarr poses with Best Party leader, Heida Helgadottir (L) in New York, April 21, 2011. Free trips to Disneyland, more polar bears at the zoo and promises not to work with anyone who hasn't watched the TV series "The Wire" aren't the usual hallmarks of a successful political campaign. But in Iceland's capital Reykjavik, Gnarr's political parody soon snowballed into a serious mayoral bid with his wacky, well-intended jokes catching on with a public fed up with politics and corporate malfeasance.
