Six spot-on Rob Ford parody Twitter accounts (plus one masterful fake Craigslist ad)
Mayor Rob Ford has a distinctively folksy way of speaking, a hot temper, a knack for saying dumb things and now an (alleged) crack scandal blowing up in his face. In other words, he’s a satirist’s dream and the Internet has stepped up to the challenge. Below, seven Rob Ford send-ups that may make you feel better about Toronto’s mayoral troubles—for a moment, anyway.
Handle: @HULKMAYOR
Schtick: Rob Ford in rage-mode, with a healthy splash of neanderthal.
Sample Tweet:
HULKMAYOR TAKE BILL BLAIR OFF CHRISTMAS CARD LIST #TOpoli

Handle: @ThinRobFord
Schtick: A parallel universe Rob Ford who happens to be thin—and a little rambling, frankly. However, he has, hands down, the best profile picture of the bunch.
Sample Tweet:
I think I'm going to be a little more organized for the next time I break the law. #TOpoli #Toronto #CDNpoli

Handle: @RobFordSearch
Schtick: The mayor as barely coherent idiot with a propensity for very specific Google searches.
Sample Tweet:
*googles* "places to hide in Tortonto when 400 pounds. Also has cheeseburgers and weed delivery"

Handle: @80sDougFord
Schtick: Okay, it’s not lampooning Rob Ford, but this potty-mouthed, bro-ish, drug-dealing, van-driving, Doors-listening teenaged Doug Ford has a lot to say about his brother.
Sample Tweet:
Oh, I just wanna say again that Rob is sorry. We'll tell you what he's sorry for as soon as the cops release that information #topoli
— 80s Doug Ford (@80sDougFord) November 3, 2013
Handle: @TOMayorFrod
Schtick: A pitch-perfect send-up of the mayor’s official Twitter account—right down to the background image.
Sample Tweet:
Thanks again for your support today, folks. I'm back at work first thing in the afternoon like I always am. #ContemptforTaxpayers #TOpoli
— Councillor Rob Frod (@TOMayorFrod) November 4, 2013
Handle: @RobFordAngry
Schtick: Hilariously short dispatches from inside the mind of the mayor.
Sample Tweet:
How come nobody wants to talk about my spooky halloween office? #TOPoli

Link: “Biermarket, St. Paddy’s Day 2012. You: big bear – m4m”
Schtick: A clever, slightly dirty fake Craiglist missed connection from someone pretending to have fallen for Ford during his St. Paddy’s day binge in 2012.

I will pee my pants forever if I try to read this over again. Hilarious right up to the last sentence.
Doug Ford is The Joker.
Most of those protesters at city hall that are demanding Rob Ford to resign
are from the Toronto occupy movement gang they
don’t care about the Ford scandal, there primary goal is to receive widespread attention from
the media for their so called occupy movement that usually starts riots and
achieves nothing and only accomplishes
a massive cleanup bill for the taxpayers
Has anyone seen Rob Ford interviewed by the talking toilet yet lol http://youtu.be/D9KQJadYKu4
