The 'Flappy Ford' spinoff features the head of Toronto mayor Rob Ford with wings and a skyline of the city in the background. Despite the substance abuse scandals that surround Ford, he remains Toronto’s mayor and the browser game encourages players to "help Toronto." Just like the original Flappy Bird app, the objective is to dodge between pipes. When players are unable to successfully do this, Flappy Ford falls to the ground and utters lines like "obviously I was extremely, extremely inebriated" and other infamous quotes of his.","datePublished":"2014-02-18T09:29:02Z","headline":"Scandalous Mayor Spoof Games","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"TREND HUNTER

like this one that joins forces with a hot topic of the moment. The 'Flappy Ford' spinoff features the head of Toronto mayor Rob Ford with wings and a skyline of the city in the background. Despite the substance abuse scandals that surround Ford, he remains Toronto’s mayor and the browser game encourages players to "help Toronto." <br /> <br /> Just like the original Flappy Bird app, the objective is to dodge between pipes. When players are unable to successfully do this, Flappy Ford falls to the ground and utters lines like "obviously I was extremely, extremely inebriated" and other infamous quotes of his.</div><div class='tpt__aSecCont'><div class='tpt__aSec'> <div class='tpt__aSecHeading'>Trend Themes</div> <div class='tpt__aSecItems'><div class='tpt__aItem'> <div class='tpt__aItemText'><b class='tpt__aItemTitle'>1.

versions, like this one that joins forces with a hot topic of the moment. The 'Flappy Ford' spinoff features the head of Toronto mayor Rob Ford with wings and a skyline of the city in the background. Despite the substance abuse scandals that surround Ford, he remains Toronto\u2019s mayor and the browser game encourages players to \"help Toronto.\" <br \/>\n<br \/>\nJust like the original Flappy Bird app, the objective is to dodge between pipes. When players are unable to successfully do this, Flappy Ford falls to the ground and utters lines like \"obviously I was extremely, extremely inebriated\" and other infamous quotes of his.<\/div><div class='tpt__aSecCont'><div class='tpt__aSec'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aSecHeading'>Trend Themes<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aSecItems'><div class='tpt__aItem'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aItemText'><b class='tpt__aItemTitle'>1.

The Freedom Town Map also has special campaign signs and decorations for the current election.
