By now, you’ve heard about the ‘controversy’ surrounding Iron Man 3’s dubious depiction of Chattanooga, TN as a backwoods hick town with internet so deplorable the world might end.  For any of you actually living in Chattanooga, this is comical (Iron Man is a comic book, afterall), as ‘The Gig City’ is a beautiful, populous town, with a cutting edge broadband infrastructure rivaled by few in the world.   

The chuckles might nervously trail when one considers that that Verison FiOS, boasting “Internet speeds that will rock the competition”, is one of the main promotional sponsors of Iron Man 3.

Surely it’s a coincidence that all the other small towns in Iron Man 3 are fictional except Chattanooga, whose sole plot line contribution is ‘slow internet’, right?

Surely there isn’t some Verizon guy in a suit who thought it would be clever to rip Chattanooga for slow internet, just because he can, right?

If so…. not sure he thought it through, as the publicity has been priceless, and the content flowing fast — roughly a gig a second.

We love irony, man!
