Faking it well

Justin Webb | 15:26 UK time, Saturday, 3 May 2008

It has been dubbed. (The footage is taken from a documentary.) But it's rather well done.

So far the most famous YouTube impact on an election was - poor Senator Allen crashing and burning in the summer heat in 2006 with a racial slur on a man who turned out to be a fellow Virginian, and actually rather brighter than the senator.

But that stuff - true stuff - is so yesterday. Are fakes, cleverly done, about to take over and create a new weird parallel universe for elections in the US, and eventually in the UK as well?
