Politicians and T-shirts rarely combine into a positive story. And, Rob Ford, Mayor of Toronto in Canada, does not seek to change the balance of stories. In may 2013, a crowd funding campaign was started, asking for $100,000 to release a 90-second video clip of a person who resembles the mayor allegedly smoking crack cocaine. The campaigns appears to have raised the required $100,000 in just four days with a few people claiming to have seen the video.
All the obnoxious political nonsense aside, there are people selling T-shirts to raise funds to have the video purchased so it can be distributed and verifiers if the person is in deed Rob Ford. The T-shirt shows a picture from the video and sells for $15 with all proceeds going to what called the Crackstarter campaign. Too bad it takes incidents like this with Rob Ford to get people involved with government.
