This Chrome extension plays clown music whenever you read about Rob Ford

The Rob Ford saga is an all out circus at this point, and from his recent homophobic relapse to word he was in trouble as much as he was in recovery at his recent rehab stint, it shows no sign of slowing down.
Add in that Toronto’s municipal election is only a few months away and, sorry, but you’re going to be reading about him for the foreseeable future. Luckily, there’s a new browser extension that puts things into perspective. Called Entrance of the RoFo, it scans whatever you’re reading to see if it’s about Hogtown’s, uh, beloved mayor. If yes, it plays Julius Fučík’s “Entry of the Gladiators” in the background.
Confused? Give the song a listen and you’ll find it instantly familiar. While originally written as a military march, the song is famous now more than anything for its inclusion in the circus. Specifically, it’s the unofficial clown entrance theme.
