SFH: Mayor On Crack? (updated)

I literally snapped this shot while walking through an alley on Queen West last night. Sent it to Bjorn, and he got to work.  Here, then, is the art for SFH’s newest tune, recorded (and videotaped) at a location that will not be disclosed (they don’t want to be harassed by Ford’s bylaw thugs).  Video and song will be out next week. Whaddya think?

UPDATE: Although, my newspaper’s cover is pretty darn good, too:

    Perfect!

    nice work….is Ford from the Hammer?

  3. patrick says:

    Well, I think Ford is a fan of Amy Winehouse so…….

    • Lynn says:

      You beat me to it. I love Amy and IMO she had talent and a tortured soul. Mr. Ford appears to have neither, he seems to possess a frat boy mentality and a sense of entitlement. Sorry to all of the frat boys who are not absolute jerks. And I like the poster very much, nice work.

      • Swervin' Merv says:

        Great poster. Expect SFH’s new tune will also overtake Ford’s current theme song (apologies to Amy):

        They tried to make me go to rehab
        I said no, no, no
        Yes I’ve been black but when I come back
        You’ll know, know, know
        I ain’t got the time
        And if my Douggie thinks I’m fine
        Just try to make me go to rehab
        I won’t go, go, go

    I like it, but I don’t like the bright white of the ‘SFH.’ It doesn’t fit. Maybe a flat black or… I have no idea, I’m not a designer. I just feel like it stands out in an odd way.

  5. aaron says:

    I`m confused….does the puff of white smoke mean we have a new mayor or that the old one is holding serve?

  6. patrick says:

    Oh and when Crack Nation spews on about Ford’s accomplishments while Mayor would it be inappropriate to point out that —- wait for it —–
    “It’s all smoke and mirrors!”
    Thank you! Thank you! Cash in the hat please. Cash in the hat!

  7. deb s says:

    Great design and to complement the effect, can you get Ford drunk enough to participate as a guest singer on the track:) I hear he is looking for a new career:)

    The man needs to get help. Both for himself and the distraction he is dragging Toronto through.

    • ray says:

      Fuck helping Rob Ford. Sorry to be harsh but I’m sick of hearing that but there are a couple of young men here in Kingston in their twenties and a boy of eleven who’ve lost most of their teeth because they are too poor to get them fixed. I see them every couple of days and almost cry when I see them try to choke back their smiles because of shame. They need help our help not Rob Ford.

    The Mayors on crack, aint that whack
    The Mayors on crack, aint that whack
    Wheeling and dealing, calling people fags
    Blaming all the babies on fucking minorities
    Sitting in the sunshine while the city works
    Helping the Somalia drug lords move to Calgary
    A city that smirks at the big smoke
    Cause the mayor is generating it
    From the Wrong side of the law
    Breaking every rule
    On a crackhead victory crawl
    The Mayors on crack, aint that whack
    The Mayors on crack, aint that whack

      I just want to be clear this is a generic tribute to homophobic, racist, crack smoking mayors, no particular person in mind.

    I think we’ve found the leading candidate for Ford’s new chief of staff: EmmaWay20. She hit a cyclist with her car, left the scene and tweeted to brag about it: Definitely knocked his cyclist off his bike earlier – I have right of way he doesn’t even pay road tax #bloodycyclists

    She has exactly the right philosophy and intelligence to be a key member of the Ford administration.

    Now he is denying it publicly:

    http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2013/05/24/toronto-ford-newser.html

    Maybe the video has been sold to a friendly party. Now, who would have lots of cash for a conservative friend in need…?

    • headmaster says:

      Only one hair is needed to solve the mystery.
      I am still amazed that fella did not shave ALL of his body hair.
      Eyelashes included 😉

    • Steven says:

      on the same day Ford denies using in the present tense,

      -the video and its owners have gone to ground;

      -he has a new, close-to-the-scalp haircut;

      -he is smug and smiling;

    • W the K - No, not Warren says:

      I don’t believe a word he said. OK, maybe the football stuff. Which had no place in a mayoral news conference of such gravity.

  12. Campbell says:

    RE: Ford’s statement:
    He stated that The Star alleged he “uses crack cocaine”. The Star didn’t allege that he “uses crack cocaine”. The Star alleged that he was on video, using crack cocaine, which is obviously very different. Ford mischaracterized The Star’s allegation with the same lame trick he used in his denial: “I don’t use crack cocaine”. What does “using crack cocaine” really mean? Certainly, I believe that in Ford’s brain, “not using crack cocaine” is consistent with being on video smoking a rock one time. I note that he also didn’t state that he doesn’t use cocaine of any sort, leaving open the possibility that he is a cocaine user, just not of the crack variety.
    So, taking Ford at his word completely given his statement, I am still left with the impression that it is mostly likely that a) Rob Ford is indeed on a video smoking crack (or something else out of a crackpipe-like object), and b) given his history of events, is probably a cocaine user even if he doesn’t smoke rocks.
    Let’s be honest, it’s unlikely that a cocaine user with Ford’s fiscal resources wouldn’t primarily use powder cocaine rather than crack. It’s also unlikely that someone could be addicted to crack cocaine (of all things) and be even the shitty mayor of a city like Toronto.

    If this was a movie would we ever find the Somali drug lords? Maybe hijacking a former mayors yacht?

    • deb s says:

      the somali drug lords/pirates are swimming with the fishes, in the don river. Have you seen the talent Ford surrounds himself with, I dont want to pt out too much for fear of reprisals, but the guy looks connected. The mayor came on with confidence today in that press conference, knowing theres no witnesses left:P

    I think your new fort-ay is marketing. This thing will go super-viral.
