'Downfall'


When I wrote the post yessterday about Tom Harris and his silly spoof video on First Minister Alex Salmond - I had no idea that this 'Hitler rant' nonsense was so popular.

Actually the spoof videos are all based on a serious film starring Bruno Ganz - who gives a great performance and plays the part of Adolf Hitler really well.

Although it turns out there are dozens of similar attempts at such schoolboy humour - most of which fall flat - I have to say.

But here's one on the 'downfall' of Tom Harris himself - would you believe - must have been done in record time.

Now this is mildly funny because it shows Tom 'being hoist on his own petard' - which regular readers will know means 'being blown up by his own bomb'.

The second one is a spoof about the former Labour leader Gordon Brown - which is painful to watch and not remotely funny - because it is so deliberately cruel and cuts so close to the bone.

But to my mind we've had enough of this nonsense - time for people to give it all a rest and think up something original - to say or do.

"First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
