Ha! Election time is almost upon us, which reminded me of something, namely those Gordon Brown mashups I did a couple of years ago, the ones Ian Anderson of The Designers Republic didn’t like too much. I seem to recall him saying something about the limited pool of footage… but anyway, at least these days there’s a home for them amongst the sea of stupidity and silliness that is YouTube.com.

In actual fact, I’ve been testing out a new version of the video editing software I’ve splashed out on. Whether it’ll be worth the 25 quid, who knows, but I thought I might as well get my money out of it. To this end, here’s an upscaled-to-HD version of the Kung Fu Gordon Brown video which, just a couple of years ago, we’d have never dreamed of seeing in high def. Have fun, and don’t take it too seriously, y’all.

I swear I never set out to make any kind of political point with this video, I just wanted to try my hand at video mashups. If you disregard the seriousness of the whole subject –that is, the recession– I guess you might find it funny.
