Two days ago, a new biography about U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron revealed an absolutely WTF story about Cameron’s Oxford University days, involving him (allegedly) and a farm animal.
It really put our farcical state of politics into perspective; Abbott‘s out, Turnbull‘s in, Hockey‘s fucked, but what the fuck does that matter when David Cameron once stuck his todger in a dead pig’s mouth?
The internet (of course) responded to #piggate in ~ S P E C T A C U L A R ~ fashion:
Suddenly it all makes sense! So we’ve avoided the issue until now #piggate #etonmess ?? pic.twitter.com/ohF8szvFOs

I think this wins the entire #piggate meme competition (if there was such a thing): pic.twitter.com/YS2ZEJIuzG

Even the London Underground got into it:

But this response to the pig-in-a-Cameron story has to be the most sophisticated yet.
Vlogger Jon Harvey has recut an interview Cameron did with the BBC‘s Andrew Marr, mashed it together with past interviews of Marr’s, and produced a stunning piece of mock-journalism that should quite frankly be nominated for their version of a Walkley, or a Mockley, or something.
If David Cameron won’t respond IRL to #piggate, then he’ll damn well do it in our imaginations.
