A still from Sion Simon MP's Webcameron
video spoofWhatever the cyberspace expression for a storm in a teacup is, this is surely it.
Labour MP Sion Simon (a former Guardian Unlimited diarist), has done an Ali G style spoof of Mr Cameron's "Webcameron" video, the Tory leader's supposedly fly-on-the-wall webcast filmed at his kitchen sink.
In Simon's version, he dons a T-shirt and baseball cap to tell viewers:
"Yo. My name's Dave, yeah? Thing is, I'm just like you. I've got the same worries, the same troubles, the same cares, the same trouble and strife. Want to sleep with my wife? That's cool. Come down, check it out, we'll sort it out. Safe."
His explanation for the stunt? "Mr Cameron's nakedly shallow attempt to appropriate 'yoof' culture was pathetic and entirely tokenistic," he said, although he added that he would take it down from YouTube if Mr Cameron's complained about the references to sleeping with his wife.
This all started when blogging MP Tom Watson - who should really be keeping a low-profile after his aborted coup against Tony Blair - produced a webcast criticising Mr Cameron's webcast.
Now his "mate" and fellow Brummie Simon has waded in with his own video. Is this more embarrassing for Cameron or for Simon?
You the viewer can watch and decide.
