Mayor Rob Ford: The Video Game
It's like Mario if the power-ups were crack pipes and the Goombas were cops and reporters.
Never thought I'd say this, but Rob Ford deserves better. With the amount of public-relations napalm he's dropped Toronto, the embattled mayor should've gotten a slick first-person shooter with a graphics engine blasting shock and awe – or at least a Dance Dance Revolution clone – not this heh-heh bare-bones riff on a side-scrolling video game.
"Rob Ford: The Game" drops an orb-shaped mayor into a world where the walls are Canadian flags and the enemies are cops and journalists. Power-ups come in the form of marijuana leaves, crack pipes, and bottles of booze, and throughout the level are sound bites taken from Ford's own mouth (including a vulgar one about cunnilingus).
