Hulk Smash!

Disney and Marvel fans throughout the UK and Europe are trying to evaluate plans of a 'tie-in' between the two companies and No.10 Downing Street that will help to promote government policy across Britain, and perhaps even throughout Europe. Fans are divided on what the deal actually means and whether the proposals will dilute and irrevocably alter the Disney / Marvel brand. There are fears that by bringing deeply flawed characters such as 'Iron Man' Gordon Brown into the fold, the Disney / Marvel image will be jeopardised.

The PM and the Disney CEO appeared jointly on prime-time TV last night to announce the deal: "We believe that adding Downing Street to the Disney / Marvel portfolio of brands offers significant opportunities for long term growth and value creation." Gordon Brown added: "Take a deep breath, all your favorite Downing Street characters remain unchanged. We will still have 'Iron Man' (your humble PM) saving the world with his massive bank bail-out package, Spiderman (Lord Mandelson) dressed in his lycra bodysuit, weaving his tangled webs, The Incredible Hulk (John Prescott) charging to the rescue of the Labour Government in 2010, and Goofy and Donald Duck (David Miliband and Jack Straw) claiming that they have never heard of 'this Mr. Megrahi' or the rehabilitated villain Colonel Gaddafi.

In a 'souvenir' edition Tweet' the wife of the Prime Minister, Sarah Brown (Marvel Girl) tried to wrap proceedings up: "With great power comes great responsibility (Mandelman). Gordon will not let you down in your hour of need." However a Whitehall official was later forced to deny that the proposed 'tie-in' with Disney / Marvel in reality meant just more of the same old Mickey Mouse Government.

  5. Gordon Brown's saving of the world was predicated upon the fact that he helped screw things up in the first place. The credit bubble's connected to the credit crunch, the credit crunch's connected to the bail-out.... (to the music of dem bones)

  9. What's the difference between Tom Jones and the Disney version of Brown. Tom Jones sings and Brown Disney

  10. Wouldn't put it past Mandelson to do such a deal with Disney. After all his mate David Geffen is already taking over the Government policy on internet piracy

  11. Companies like Disney more or less own the government right now. See Gordon blowing hot and cold about city bonuses. One day he is saying that we do not want to alienate the city, today he tells the FT that he will regulate them - tomorrow no doubt seomthing different

    Maybe Brown would be better cast as the Riddler or the Penguin

  15. Problem about making Brown into a cartoon character is that is gives him too much dexterity. Even Penguin is smart
    The guy's a turkey... is there a cartoon turkey anywhere?

  17. I think that you are now starting to sound more 'Looney Tunes' than Marvel

  18. Who let Haldeman in?

  20. Brown is not going to do anything about the city bonuses. He thinks of the city as the goose that laid the golden egg... even though it turned out to be the goose that laid the biggest sh** ever

  21. The city has persuaded Brown that the best way to get back the money that he bailed the banks out with is to let them go back to their bad old ways - that means the same bad practices as before. Big risk = big rewards.
