Crazy People (1990)

Link: Crazy People (1990).

Mrs Paine and I were recalling the film "Crazy People" this morning. Older readers will remember it was about a stressed ad executive (Dudley Moore) who enjoys surprising success when his fellow mental patients help him devise such honest slogans as:

"Volvos; they're boxy but they're safe"

We wondered what would happen if political parties took the same approach and over breakfast we came up with:

Labour (pace Sir Bob Geldof):    

Give us your ******* money!

LibDems:                                    

If you like being dumped on, vote for us

Conservatives:                        

We're not nasty anymore, but we could be.

I am sure you must have better suggestions.

I think those are excellent suggestions, myself!

Transport For London

We have your Freedom to Transport watched shopped and stopped

Labour: "We're going to keep stamping on your face,...forever."

Lib Dems: "We support your liberty to give us all your money so that we can hand it over to the EU."

Tories: "We are 1/8 of an inch to right of the above, for all the difference that makes."

My Photos

  • Lenin's Tomb
    From time to time I will upload photos of Russia and in particular my "home town", Moscow. It is an amazing city, more New York than Paris, but beautiful at times in an anarchic way. You can't have so many people living in one place without interesting things happening.
