How would you feel about a new casino resort in Toronto? Where should it go? How do you feel about Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam? How about Rob Ford?

OpenFile has dug up an award-winning animated GIF (yes, they have awards for such things) that shows the Raptors mascot rollerskating down a flight of stairs and face-planting onto the court. If you haven't seen it already, it's well worth a watch.
