A Rob Ford-themed collector’s item I just found

At the HoHoTO charity club event in December 2010, I ran into designer extraordinaire Alistair J. Morton, who was handing out little gift packages to friends. He handed me one, and it turned out to be a tubby little voodoo doll, complete with a set of pins, called “The Portly Politician”. Rob Ford had been elected several weeks earlier, so it was quite obvious whom the intended target of all the bad voodoo juju was. I tucked the doll in the pocket of the overcoat I was wearing and forgot about it.

Nearly three years and who knows how many outrageous headlines later, I found the Portly Politician in that overcoat, which had been in storage since that winter, still in the original plastic wrap. I wonder what I should do with it…
