On Friday, a new wave of Rob Ford bobble heads went on sale with the mayor himself on hand to autograph the dolls for those who waited in line for hours to get one.
“Bobble-head Bedlam II,” as the Canadian Press has dubbed it, saw more than a thousand people who had enough time on a Friday to purchase a $20 bobble head of a crack-smoking mayor.
The line snaked its way though City Hall’s rotunda and chants of “Four more years!” and “Rob Ford! Rob Ford!” broke out, echoing through the building where people allegedly run the largest city in Canada.
“He’s a hero. He’s awesome. He parties. He’s a lot more real than anyone else,” Corrie Balogh told the Canadian Press.
“It’s very humbling. I’ve never seen this before. I really appreciate the support. I’m just an average person,” said the multimillionaire mayor who has previously admitted to smoking crack and excessive drinking, once publicly said he has “plenty to eat at home” (note: not food), has a good friend facing drug and extortion charges, has a history of alleged racist and homophobic remarks and a pile of other things that are getting too exhausting to repeat.
A group of activists took advantage of the festivities to deliver some wheelbarrows full of coal since Ford has been so naughty this year.
A website launched earlier this month let visitors add pieces of coal to Ford’s pile, with the tally passing more than one million, although it’s not clear how much the group actually attempted to deliver, but it took a small army of elves to wheel it all to City Hall.
One of the activists, dressed as Santa, was yelled at by a bobble-buyer.
