YouTuber Tom Kucy has created a wonderfully amusing Rob Ford Facebook Look Back video. Facebook recently celebrated its tenth anniversary by giving each individual user as personalized video or slideshow of their own content over the past ten years. Kucy utilized the format to create his own Look Back parody video for the imaginary account of Toronto mayor Rob Ford.
This Rob Ford Facebook video showcases awkward photos and verbal gaffes uttered by the heavily criticized mayor as 'popular' posts on the social media site. There pictures of Ford awkwardly trying to kiss a baby, holding onto the elderly mayor of Mississauga as she tries to reel in a large salmon and pictures of Ford fumbling around with a football. This video is a humorous take on an infamous mayor.
