Political Airbrushing

The recent UK election sparked some interesting online commentary…and my favourite is to be found @ MyDavidCameron.com. This site has produced some deliciously twisted, cute & wonderful takes on Tory campaign ads…

…and rightly so, since Canadians (at least, those of us with two brain cells to rub together) know full well not to trust anyone or anything with a “conservative” label. In Britian, of course, Toryism comes with extra anti-poor, anti-union, anti-BBC, upper class wealthy toff baggage, and right-wing capitalist fury left over from the evil black star that was Maggie Thatcher. This IS the party that revealed some of its more “lordly” members charged items to their parliamentary expense account that included MOAT REPAIR and A HOUSE FOR DUCKS…IN THEIR PRIVATE DUCK POND.

(Yes, they deserve captial letters…and a boot to the head!)

You can visit the site and flick through the sample campaign signs for yourself, but I’d like to offer you a selection of my favourites…
