Cross the Tories with the Saatchis . . . and the poster spoofs begin

Photoshop has its wicked way with the revamped Conservative advertising campaign.

It may have been only 24 hours since the latest Tory poster was unveiled, but has that held back the flood of spoofs? Well, what do you think?

They play a bit fast and loose with the typeface, but it's the message that counts, and I think you'll agree they're pretty witty.

MyDavidCameron.com has started to pull together some of the spoofs, complete with tidied-up Photoshopping.

Here are some of our favourites so far, many of them found on the comment thread for my colleague Jon Bernstein's post yesterday.

Let us know if you can do better.

Q: Why did we lose 26 points ?

A: ivory chimneys
Air brushed squid face
So desperate I need my formally leftie arty wifey to dress me in gap and call me 'Dave'
Forget that all us tax payers might resent my uber rich friend paying for crap posters because he pays no tax
Cycling to work with my briefcase trotting along behind me with the chauffeur

So now I'm optimistic. Bring on the next photo opportunity: live tv with Dave - the man I thought might fool us all with his smarm - but who can't even reply to questions about homosexuality and who's campaign leaflets airbrushed out all black minorities images - don't worry though, they kept their names and we saw.
