Daily Brew‘Rob Ford’ impaled by flying shark in Canadian version of ‘Sharknado 2′
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has had trouble with drugs, guns and the police, but his biggest adversary to date may be a tornado filled with flying sharks.
A fictional version of Toronto's mayor is set to appear in the exclusive Canadian version of Sharknado 2: The Second One, the unnecessary sequel to last year's campy TV movie that swept North America up in a whirlwind of flying ocean predators.
In the sequel, to air in Canada on Space next week, the Ford character is killed by a flying shark while doing the two things he loves the most: giving back to the community and talking to the media.
A short clip released on Thursday shows Ford announcing relief aid for New York when a shark flies through a window and eats through his chest.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the press conference.
'Sharknado 2' Clip: Rob Ford Impaled By Shark
Space's website reacted with absolute glee upon posting the exclusive clip, writing:
We'd also like to give a shoutout to the Rob Ford "lookalike"—actually more of a Doug Ford lookalike, if you ask me—who has taken on this intimidating and esteemed parody. He really captures the essence of Rob Ford—and getting stabbed by a shark. Someone give this guy an Oscar!
Space is owned by Bell Media, which recently courted shark-themed controversy when its Discovery Channel executed a hoax in which a prosthetic shark was recorded swimming in Lake Ontario.
Why would anyone need to watch Sharknado 2, when the original film captured the horrors and reality of shark-infused tornadoes so concisely?
