This photo of a politician casting his vote dressed as a Star Wars character, provided by Redditor shawtay, is the funniest thing I have seen all day.

A mayor in Iceland has voted while wearing a Jedi outfit, making him officially the coolest politician on the planet.

Jón Gnarr is not the head of just any small town, he is the mayor of Iceland's capital city of Reykjavik.

However, I guess that's exactly what you would expect from a former professional comedian turned lawmaker.

The Mary Sue writes that this is not Gnarr's only wacky political initiative. First of all, he ran as the leader of the “Best Party” which he created for the purpose of the 2010 elections, and never thought he would win.

During his campaign, he told his opponents that he would not be participating in any debates with them unless they are well versed in The Wire series, all five seasons of it.
