Panorama: Parodying Government Ads

Posted on 2007-10-01

Panorama investigates a YouTube video so good it fooled the media

After a YouTube video - parodying a government ad - fooled The Australian, Panorama chatted with the video's creator, known only as "N".

On Wednesday, September 26, The Australian's Simon Canning wrote a report about a leaked Liberal Party advertisement on YouTube.

He questioned Liberal Party sources who, naturally, denied that the ad was theirs.

A day later, it was revealed that the ad was a parody, created by the mysterious "N" as a statement about TV electioneering in Australia.

Panorama spoke to "N" in order to discover his motivations for uploading the video.
