Gordon Brown becomes a Fiji pin-up
Rather than use images of their golden beaches or tropical blue seas to entice tourists to the islands of Fiji, the local tourist agency opted instead ... for Gordon Brown.Pictured with a red flower behind his ear the British PM is being used in the poster campaign by Fiji Visitors Bureau (Fijime.com) to tempt Britons to the South Pacific destination.
Based on the "get me out of here" theme the ad was due to be one in a series starring other figures who might want to get out of the UK.
But the others - including the Duke of Edinburgh and Ken Livingstone - are said to have refused permission, leaving the PM on his own.
The poster, designed by the London agency DK Advertising, was approved by Downing Street and the Advertising Standards Authority.
