Because you can’t see bitch-tits on the radio

What? How often will I get to make fun of Rob Ford AND give a shout-out to Georgie Girl in the same headline? Two birds: meet one stone.

Anyway, Rob Ford and his brother, Doug “What’s a Library?” Ford, were given their own radio show on Newstalk 1010. In all fairness, if Rush Limbaugh’s radio show can keep bringing in listeners, then doubling the number of pudgy, moon-faced morons on a radio show would be even better, right?

Only, it turns out it was kinda boring. Turns out, the guy really wants a subway. That’s about all that anyone could glean from the two of them. They just really want a subway. And they named-dropped Scarborough. A lot. It was like that scene in The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy looks behind the curtain and behind all the bluster and theatrics there is just some weird guy sitting by himself yammering into a microphone. Up the sadness factor by tenfold and you have a basic approximation of what it’s like to listen to Rob Ford and his brother wish for things that will never be.
