There’s a Rob Ford porn parody now

I want you to take another look at that title. Take a good long look at it. Because those words just happened. A Rob Ford porn parody is happening.

Yes, Rob Ford’s media crack circus has spiralled into such an alternate plane of lunatic existence that he has been honoured with his own porn parody, which places a spotlight on his substance abuse and media relations problems. And also his penis. Sex-ay! Yeah!

In an interview with canada.com, director Lee Roy Myers explained the motivation behind the project, saying that he “wanted to go and parody the situation and comment on it, and say, hey, this is so crazy. The only thing that could be crazier, or even just as crazy, that hasn’t been announced yet, is a sex tape.”

Well, he was right about that part.

Myers* went on to tell Ford that he should be taking this porno, and the surrounding shitstorm he currently finds himself in, as a warning: “Things can only get weirder and worse for him if he keeps going on this journey of self-discovery which he happens to be sharing. He’s embarrassed Torontonians and Canadians, I would say, and maybe even just for that alone, it’s probably worth stepping down and letting somebody try to clean up his mess.”

Yes, that’s the director of the Rob Ford porn parody being one of the few voices of reason in this whole debacle. That should probably tell you a lot about what this has turned into.
