Have We Reached Peak Rob Ford Comedic News Saturation Point?
This Sketch from the 'Mercer Report' Sure Makes Us Feel Like It.

Have we finally reached the peak Rob Ford comedic news saturation point

The latest Ford-related sketch from Rick Mercer’s ‘The Mercer Report’ suggests we may have. The vid sees Mercer playing owner of the gas station where Mayor Rob Ford relieved during one of his clandestine meetings with his pal and suspected drug dealer, Sandro Lisi. Mercer–whose sketches tend to alternate between incisive and insipid–may be the man responsible for putting the final nail in the coffin in our fruitful Ford follies.

Then again, it was just revealed that a judge has ordered the entire police document featuring Ford and Lisi be made public, and who knows what kind of embarrassing goodies await us? That sound you hear is a legion of comedy writers salivating onto their keyboards. 

View the sketch below:
