Mayor Rob Ford runs groin-first into fire hydrant while celebrating Canada’s gold meda

For the second straight time, Rob Ford’s celebration of a Canadian gold medal in hockey has become an international viral sensation. While he impressed Toronto by going airborne when the women’s team made a miraculous comeback over the United States, his excitement over the men’s victory was a little less graceful and a lot more painful.

The National Post‘s Darren Calabrese caught the moment Ford ran groin-first into a fire hydrant while frolicking with revellers in Maple Leaf Square in Toronto. Ford caught Canada’s 3-0 win over Sweden in Real Sports bar and was mobbed when he joined the celebrations outside.

He "dies," stays underground for decades, puts on weight, and gets elected mayor of Toronto and goes nuts.

This is an office he deserves to be elected to for life. Him and his right-wing buddy Don Cherry.
