    Rob Ford's Toronto

    I guess, depending who they are, if a bunch of other people get dragged in with Ford, his reputation among his true believers might take a hit. If it turns out he's been getting coked up with a judge and other "well-connected figures," it might be harder for him to sustain his reputation as a...

    Maybe I'm just wishing I had read it:

    What I was thinking is that perhaps Nordheimer found it particularly difficult to watch because he had recognized a colleague. Wasn't there some mention of his seeming personally affected by watching?

    Or maybe the judge can be seen in the background? Wasn't there mention of Nordheimer appearing shaken after viewing the videos? Or maybe he said they were very difficult to watch.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    He is a less-known quantity. If we get to know him better, he might look as repulsive to us as his brothers do.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    I'm no media theorist, but it seems to me that it's often indirect or passing familiarity that makes this kind of thing effective. If someone like Jonathan Goldsbie makes favourable mention of the account in Now, a wider range of people are going to know about it, or, more to the point, they're...

    So yeah, I can really see the value of relentless hourly updates. Who knows? Maybe this will get through to people.

    I see this more along the lines of www.isrobfordstillmayor.com. The point isn't necessarily to convey new information, but to draw attention to the ridiculousness of a situation. The Twitter account could rely on the City Hall reporters' tweets.

    There's a certain amount of entertainment value and relief in the thought of Ford finally going down as he seems he might be, but there's also more than a little menace. Let's hope the authorities are planning various ways to box him in if he really goes off the rails.

    An advantage to a global manhunt would be the sightings in improbable places. There would be a Photoshop frenzy. But I do prefer the idea of an OJ-style chase.

    I've pictured this so many times. Fingers crossed.

    Wouldn't it be hilarious if Rob Ford went on the lam? A global manhunt would definitely take all of this to the next level.

    I suppose the Fords are so filthy rich that they don't feel the extra legal fees resulting from Rob's behaviour. Still, I wonder who's writing the cheques. You'd think that with the prospect of a number of trials ahead of him, Rob would start to see the financial benefit of managing himself a...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    I'm surprised some news outlet hasn't sent the video to an expert in forensic linguistics for commentary. Everyone was buzzing about the "birds" when the story broke. I think a lot of people would have been interested. (This is my first post here. I've been enjoying the forum tremendously.)
