Here at Dare towers we have the famous post-it of things creatives are only allowed to do once. Spoof campaigns nestle in there snugly beside 'No books' and 'No destroying things'. We have never actually done a spoof but if we did I'd like it to be something like the Ray Hopewood Campaign in the US of A.
Ray Hopewood is a fictional gazillionaire running for president for a US Tech company. As I say spoofs are pretty common and, for me, mostly pretty lazy thinking. But I do quite like this one. There are some nice lines, 'Your Ambassador to Technology' being one that I would imagine the geeks in Silicon Valley might like. And the art direction is so cheap it's spot on - anyone seen Hilary Clinton's site?
But probably the main resaon I like it is because you could imagine any old rich idiot running for president and getting in. Oh, yeah, Reagan and Bush already did...
