Oh, dear - looks like a bit of a cock-up!

I particularly like the comment about having a firm grip on spending!

I don't know. It's a little abstract but it gets the message out, how they view the tax payers.

Cheerily,

A classic lesson on how to spend fourteen grand and end up looking like a prick.

I particularly like the "brand expert's" comment:

They're going to get more column inches than they could ever have expected before. If I were them, I would be pretty pleased.

At my age, I'd certainly be pleased to have that many column inches!!

Would it be fair to say that the purpose of the OGC is to pump up the economy? : }

A cock-up rather than a conspiracy.

A report is out on a new US government seal: "The government today announced that it is changing its emblem from an Eagle to a CONDOM because it more accurately reflects the government's political stance. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed!"
