Rob Ford lives in Toronto, which is in Canada. At no point has Rob Ford ever lived in Florida, which is located far, far away from Toronto. While this does not preclude the possibility that Rob Ford may have visited Florida at some point in his life (given that prostitutes and crack cocaine are available in Florida, as they are in Toronto), that would most likely be the total extent of any Florida connection to this particular news story.

So while Rob Ford may appear to be a fictional character ripped straight out of the pages of a Carl Hiaasen or Tim Dorsey novel, he is in fact not from Florida.

This PSA is brought to you by the SOFWWYTKTNACPAFF (Society of Floridians Who Want You to Know that Not All Crazy People are from Florida)



On a totally unrelated note, Chuggo, the bald, white mayonnaise loving Canadian rapper: Also not from Florida.

Rob Ford to Miami cop: 'Take me to jail'


Toronto mayoral candidate Rob Ford told a Miami police officer to "go ahead take me to jail" just before he was arrested in Florida 11 years ago on charges of drunk driving and marijuana possession, according to a police document.

An arrest affidavit written by a Miami-Dade police officer on Feb. 15, 1999, states that Ford's car was pulled over at 1:30 a.m. because its lights were off.

When the officer asked Ford for his licence and registration, Ford got out of the car, "threw his hands up in the air and said 'go ahead take me to jail,'" the affidavit said.

Ford also took out all of his money and threw it onto the ground, the officer wrote.

You Floridians do have that going for you. But on the other hand, maybe you should give Zimmerman away and take Ford.

On behalf of the good people of New York, I refuse Zimmerman in any way, shape or form. We don't even want his fucking shadow to cross our border.
