Rob Ford's new YouTube series set to launch Monday

Like his other broadcast programs, the YouTube endeavour will give Ford a chance to sound off on city hall issues and will also let him hammer home campaign themes as he ramps up his fall re-election bid.

Even before his official debut, Rob Ford has already become something of a star on the massively popular video-sharing site, where a search for his name yields tens of thousands of videos.

That number is sure to be bolstered in the wake of Ford's new show due to YouTube's fiesty and at-times derisive culture, where users offer up their own takes in recorded responses that can run the gamut from exhaustive criticism to unbridled praise.

A video channel dedicated solely to countering the new Ford show has already sprung up, lambasting its 30-second teaser with more than three minutes of clips of Ford scandals and controversial statements dating back to his time as a city councillor.
