Both of them have been spoofed by both sides, the Labour Poster was technically more difficult to spoof however that didn’t stop the Blue blogosphere from firing up Photoshop and doing a really good job.
I read a post saying that the Conservative’s were wrong to put out a poster that was so easily spoofed, but personally I disagree. Just like with the original we can’t go on like this campaign, the spoofing of the Conservative poster again only appeals to the Labour base (fox hunting, and inheritance tax), and when examined tends to be based on lies or false information, as opposed to spoofs created by the Tories which tend to be based around something that Brown has done already, rather than a claim of something he will do in the future. I really do believe that the general public if they see these will, like with the defaced and spoofed Tory NHS poster see Labour supporters as petty and spiteful, and personal.
I think it’s also interesting that Labour have chosen to suggest that Cameron is one person in front of the camera and one behind. Brown is well known to have a temper in private, and it has even been reported that he becomes moody and depressed and has even violently struck and manhandled staff when the camera is not on him. Was it wise for them to therefore raise such an idea?
