In a fine example of art following life, this endless runner is a tongue-in-cheek account of Toronto mayor Rob Ford's scandalous crack cocaine video saga. In case you don't keep up with Canadian politics, the public figure was accused of smoking crack on video in May, and Gawker (everyone's favorite bastion of journalistic integrity) offered to buy the video for $200,000. In the game, you play as the nameless Mayor running away from the media, trying to collect cash and buy the video himself. The game's not that great, but the description below is.

Uh oh. Looks like the Mayor’s in a buttload of friggin’ trouble with that alleged video of him smoking crack! And who knows if it even exists, amiright? But juuust in case, why don’t you help him collect a heap of cash to buy it before The Gawker does. Only your twinkle toes can out-maneuver the Blood Thirsty Media to help him collect more than they did in that damn “Crackstarter” campaign. $201,255 to be exact. And hey, everyone needs a little boost now and then, so make sure you collect power up buckets of deep-fried courage for more footballs to throw at life’s problems... but make sure you avoid those pesky crackpipes!
Good luck trying to Stay Mayor! Go git em! PS: Don’t smoke crack.

- Almost as funny as Toronto news stories
- No where near as funny as commenters on Toronto news stories
- Who are we kidding, this isn’t funny. The city’s management is in shambles and Toronto is a hyper polarized electorate with no hope for change in the next 18 months.
Stay Mayor
