Doug Ford's fondness for a certain f-word has led a prankster to poke some fun at the Toronto mayoral candidate's expense. Mock pamphlets made to look like Ford's campaign literature were briefly distributed before a debate Tuesday night, hosted by the midtown business association. The pamphlets, apparently the handiwork of a man named Michael Dunbar Jr., hammered home a simple, consistent message.

Apparently, Ford said it 10 times on Tuesday. Dunbar suggested on Twitter that his mock flyers were left on a table with Ford's real pamphlets for about 15 minutes before anyone noticed.

But his attempt to give Ford a pamphlet after the debate was denied.

After debate I tried handing @DougFord2014 this but his guy here crumpled and threw it at my head #assault#topolipic.twitter.com/bpE52y4F0M — Michael Dunbar Jr (@MichaelDunbarJr) October 1, 2014
