NEW FORD CELEBRITY AIR BAG IGNITES CONTROVERSY

Controversial Rob Ford air bag shown inflating from vehicle steering wheel after rear-end collision

Last month, the Ford Motor Company became the first automaker to offer celebrity air bags on its cars and light trucks.

Customers can choose from supplemental restraints bearing the likenesses of Harrison Ford, Gerald Ford, Betty Ford, and even legendary New York Yankees pitcher Whitey Ford.  

But controversy arose when former Toronto mayor Rob Ford was added to the list.  “Some poor driver gets in a crash, and to make matters worse, Rob Ford blows out of the steering wheel?  That’s outrageous,”  claimed agitated drug and alcohol counselor Ingot Cheesewell.  

When asked for a response, Ford Motor Company spokesman Howie DeRumpis commented, “I knew we should have gone with Tennessee Ernie Ford.”
