I've seen it so many times, it actually started to get boring.

It's definitely the saddest Ford video there is.

Speaking of videos, I wonder if that Ford documentary is still coming out. There was a guy that was following him around camera in hand. I spoke to him briefly after a Lisi court session and he mentioned something about tiff being interested. Who knows if that's still the case.

I'm waiting for the auto tuned wiretap remixes
 
Oh, incidentally; don't know how this tidbit got passed by, but I checked Riverside Cemetery today and RoFo now has his headstone, right in front of his dad. It has a cameo photo like his father's; but otherwise nothing bombastic like his dad's "biblical" quote; just the unabashedly "ordinary" granite grave marker of an unabashedly "ordinary" man--no explicit indication of his mayoralty, even; just his family. Oh, with one exception: at the base, the words "FORD NATION" are carved. That's it; nothing else. (And his dad'd probably respond, "there goes the dumbass again".)

Weird how, given the international-fixation circus of his mayoralty and apparent/supposed devotion of his support base, there seems to have been virtually no signs of pilgrimage here whatsoever--look, I know he's no Jim Morrison; but, still. (I checked Renata's FB for any acknowledgment; but she seems to have not updated since the beginning of the month.)

Yeah, that's it. Nothing but "FORD NATION". (Though it's a "sculpted" base, not full-frontal. So it really looks like a dumbbell afterthought--one can imagine the monument-carver saying, "O-*kay*, if you *insist*...").

Again: once a dumbass-to-his-father, always a dumbass-to-his-father, even in the afterlife.
 
The next time you're passing through, please get a pict . . . while I remind my family, should I ever become mayor of the largest city in Canada, I'd like that at least mentioned on my fucking tombstone. Also, no cameo, I take an awful picture.
 
Riversise Cemetery's at the NE corner of Lawrence and Royal York, of course--go in from the south, take the outer looping drive and you'll spot the Doug + Rob graves on the left side t/w the NE corner of the cemetery. And on a bicycle scale, they shouldn't be *that* hard to spot.

Sad as in pathetic or you'll actually feel sorry for him?

I bet the documentary guy was waiting until he's allowed to include the crack video etc in his movie. He must have lots of great stuff.

No, I have friends in media who have it but the only one I know well enough to ask to see it (Donovan) is probably too much of a straight shooter to let me see it so I didn't even ask.
