Actually, thats a
lie. But this feature is new to The JT so you may want to know how it came
about.
Picture the scene Dear Reader, with your Editor and SO watching the BBC Scotland news
the other night. The image of culture minister Patricia Ferguson graces the screen with
her presence and my SO says : "You know who she looks like? Isa from Still Game.
"
"Oh Christ, youre right!" I cry in reply. And so our version of a
satiric trope found in every mag on the planet came to be.
Have a look at our collection and see what you think. If you fancy having a go yourself
, check out the Scottish
Parliament MSPs and if you can see a resemblance between an MSP and someone famous
send it in.
They have to be famous, mind. Much as I love to hear from JT residents stranded in
Cows Arse, Iowa and the like, insisting on that, say, Nicola Sturgeon is a dead
ringer for Misty Isobar, weather anchor on Cows Arse News At Eleven, wont,
tragically, cut it.
A word of warning tho . The minute we start receiving threatening emails from
lawyers for MSPS and/or the copyright owners of the photos, the whole feature will be
pulled jig time.
Incidentally, if youre an MSP and your picture and celeb pairing doesnt
appear this week, do write in suggesting who you think you look like. The going rate is
£500 if you want to be compared to Brad Pitt, and a similar sum if you think you look
like Jennifer Aniston.
We dont care if youre deluded, we just want your money.
Actually, in putting this thing together, I came across an MSP whose the spit of one of
The Fat Slags, out of Viz.
My lips are sealed
Which makes eating a bit tricky.
Oh, and for the first and possibly last time, weve made John Swinney look cool by
association
A cheque will do fine John.
