Hairy times for Gordon Brown

If things weren't already bad enough for Gordon Brown, they might be about to get a tiny bit worse. Monkey only mentions this after a casting call went out for a "body double for Gordon Brown ... with a hairy back". The model/actor is required for a "major TV and national newspaper project". "Nudity may be required," says the ad. "Although a topless scene is definitely needed." It's not clear whether it's for a party political campaign (why we don't want Gordon['s] back?), a newspaper ad, or something else. Monkey can't wait. Whatever next? A hairless Clegg? A full frontal David Cameron? Oops. Monkey's spoiled its ballot paper.
