We recently stumbled upon MyDavidCameron.com
It is a site using crowdsourcing to create their own online spoof advertisements, that then get posted onto the site (as long as they're decent).
The website spoofs the Tory's campaign endline 'Year for Change' and plays on criticism that Cameron's image was airbrushed for their campaign poster. It uses the politics-of-and, which is a form of political airbrushing: you can't cut the deficit and not cut the NHS; you can't cut taxes and have better services (apparently).
The Tory's response is to create the website MyLabourPoster:
There has been concern that negative spin from MyDavidCameron.com may end up creating sympathy for the Conservatives, especially in the wake of the current Brown bullying debacle. Could the campaign simply give more attention to the 'legitimate' Ashcroft-funded Tory campaign?
Clifford Singer of MyDavidCameron. com recognises this and has some ideas in the pipeline. Although Clifford won't let us know what they are just yet, we hope that they include a modernised crowdsourcing element, like the notable Swedish Broadcasting viral.
