Sources from the Providence City Council confirm that the mayor of the city is actually named “Mayor Smiley” as if this is The Lego Movie.
“I’m here to reform this dying city,” said Smiley as he slid down a fireman’s pole and cheerfully high-fived a group of construction workers before walking into his office at the top of City Hall. “I don’t really get what’s funny about it.”
“I’m doing my best to serve the good people of Providence,” continued Smiley, breaking into a song about the civic legislative process as he walks arm-in-arm with the police and fire chiefs. “This is serious business in a serious town.”
At press time, Smiley was seen doing battle at the top of a volcano with his nemesis, Dr. Frowney.
