Government forced to admit cold snap is deliberate attempt to reduce Tory voters
With Swine Flu becoming increasingly popular during 2009, the artist formerly known as The Common Cold revealed an intriguing name change today at a press launch not to be sneezed at.
‘The People’s Sniffle’ today shuffled wearily in front of the assembled masses, claiming ‘I’m really hot’. His PR agency, Coffup & Retch, said that the name represented the ailment’s core brand values and would help increase popularity particularly in the not-working class.
Comparisons were drawn with Diana, People’s Princess, although representatives were keen to stress that there’s no truth that she was being driven through a dark Parisian tunnel at ludicrous speeds to fetch some cough sweets.
