Gravydämmerung: Big Damn Heroes

[sabotabby]

Okay, I've been up half an hour and sphinctourist has already managed to make my day.

I don't know if this is true. I don't even want to get my hopes up in case it isn't. It's just that if you happen to live outside of Toronto and you feel the earth quake and hear a strange noise, as if 2.6 million people simultaneously pissed their pants laughing, you might want to know what it is.

Sarah Thomson claims she will be sharing "the video" tomorrow - Imgur

That Sarah Thomson. That video.

Oh man, if this were true, it would be So. Great. Sarah Thomson is a nutty libertarian fringe candidate who runs a ridiculous magazine and is one of those Colourful Municipal Characters that I'm inclined to like even when I strongly disagree with their politics. She's fun. She's rich. (Rich enough to have bought the video? Maybe.) She mentioned the HWB's substance abuse problems long before the crack video surfaced. He publicly groped her, got away with it, and I can fully see her deciding to take terrible, glorious, epic vengeance.

There are a lot of reasons why this is probably not a thing that's going to happen, least of which is that I just checked her FB and this post does not appear there, but if Sarah Thomson is the woman who takes down the mayor, I will be one ecstatic little Sabs.

In news I can confirm, the house in the photo has been identified, as has the "municipal man of mystery."

ETA: This guide for new staffers is pretty cute.

New employees are obligated to watch a training video that provides insight into the effects of Mayor Ford’s leadership on the city of Toronto. The video is the 1998 blockbuster Deep Impact. The mayor is the comet.

ETA II: It's a troll. She posted a video that is not the crack video.

ETA III: A PIPE-WIELDING THUG BROKE INTO THE HOUSE WHERE THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN, WHICH IS A KNOWN CRACKHOUSE WHERE FORD HANGS OUT ALL THE TIME, LOOKING FOR THE VIDEO. I love this story ohdearlord I love my city and all the lulz it brings me.

That.

Would.

Rock.

It's almost certainly not going to happen. (Other tweets suggest an "exciting video" rather than the exciting video.) However. Until noon tomorrow when I'm disappointed, I am going to be happily dancing around the house imagining how hilarious this would be.

OMFG This is the best news!

[sabotabby]

I'm 99.9% sure it's going to turn out in a way that's incredibly stupid, but if I'm proven wrong, I will be delighted.

Goddamn trolling politicians.

How can we take trolling seriously when even politicians are doing it?

Wait, that may have come out wrong.

[sabotabby]

I think we stopped taking Sarah Thomson seriously when she got white-girl dreadlocks. Well, and because she's a libertarian.

I saw a comment on Reddit that its' actually a different video and she's just trying to get attention. I hope that's not true. It would be amazing if she had it.

Oh - you already found that too. NM. :(

*grumble*

I hate it when my cynicism is confirmed.

The source said he would frequently hear Fabio complain, after Ford's visits, "Rob and my sister kept me up all night."


ewwwwwwwwww. ew. ew. ew.... nooooo, just... no. I really hope it's not like that! LOL...

They were just talking! Loudly! Probably about hockey and gay Oriental leftists who ride bikes.

One day there will have to be a Rob Ford: the Musical. Hopefully it might yet end in the title character being led away in handcuffs.

Who should play Rob Ford in such a blockbuster?

The talented, if sometimes supremely irritating, Toronto superstar Darren O'Donnell. Here's his audition tape:
