Rob Ford’s latest eBay auction is proof that the ex-mayor still knows how to push everyone’s buttons. The new item, currently selling for $670, seems to be the actual hooded sweatshirt Ford wore in an infamous photo that served as a key piece of evidence in the crack scandal’s early days. In the photo, a hoodie-clad Ford is shown standing in front of a home infamous for drug problems. His arms are around two men who were later arrested for alleged gang involvement. A third man in the photo, Anthony Smith, was murdered outside a nightclub. The eBay listing doesn’t mention any of this. The accompanying photo shows Ford holding the sweatshirt and grinning into the camera, as if in on the joke. (Except, there is no joke.)
