Toronto’s Crack-Smoking Mayor Is Somehow Still Mayor, Got Deadmau5 To Drive Him Around In A Nyan Cat Ferrari
It's a Seinfeld-inspired half-hour coffee run, and he could hardly fit the seatbelt around him.
Okay, firstly, how is Rob Ford still the mayor of Toronto? Does anyone know? It’s important that you explain it to me, please.
Since admitting to smoking crack in November last year — after Gawker began their ‘Crackstarter Campaign‘, to raise $200k to buy video of it — he hasn’t exactly stayed out of trouble. A few weeks later, a former staffer claimed he told her he “wanted to eat her pussy”; Ford responded to the allegations with “I’ve got more than enough to eat at home“, much to the delight of his wife.
Then, in December, video surfaced of him dancing ebulliently to Reggae in the local Council Chamber. A month after that, there was another leaked clip of him employing fake Patois and ranting, wasted, in a fast-food steak joint, after claiming he’d been sober since November. And in February, hours after being ticketed for jaywalking, Ford allegedly got trashed in a Vancouver bar, disappeared in the small staff bathroom for over an hour, and emerged talking absolute gibberish.
And yet Rob Ford is still Mayor Rob Ford, and the people of Toronto still love him. One of those people is Toronto-based superstar DJ Deadmau5, who’s been campaigning for a while now to get Ford for a ‘Coffee Run’ — a Seinfeld-inspired YouTube chat show that’s featured the likes of Pharrell, Tom Green, and even his own lawyer.
The DJ finally succeeded, and published video overnight of him driving Ford around the city in his Nyan Cat-themed blue Ferrari, the Purrari. The disgraced mayor spends the first full minute in battle with his seatbelt, and his coffee of choice is as unsurprising as they come: five espressos, one cup. All man.
