'Funny or Die' pokes fun of Canada's polite image with these retouched Rob Ford protest signs. In the wake of the ongoing Rob Ford saga, the international media has became obsessed with the world's most polite country. Until now Canada has largely been thought of as a quiet courteous country, and it seems it still can't shake that image no matter how much it smokes up.
Comedy website 'Funny or Die' has taken signs from a recent Rob Ford protest and photo-shopped them with more stereotypical Canadian slogans. The Rob Ford protest signs range from famous comic characters peeing on Rob Ford's name with "I APOLOGIZE IF THIS IS IN POOR TASTE" below to just plain "SORRY."
Some of the other best in between are "DON'T DO IT AGAIN,OK?," "MAYOR FORD, PLEASE RESIGN AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. SORRY TO BOTHER YOU. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!" and "SORRY IF THIS SIGN IS BLOCKING YOUR VIEW OF BETTER ROB FORD PROTEST SIGNS."
