The only problem with parodies by the likes of Public Interest is that they can't beat the real thing. Take this unintentionally hilarious column from Johann Hari. The shocking bit is not where he reveals he was breast-fed until he was three ("she only stopped the day I wrote her a note saying I expected to be breastfed that afternoon"), nor where in despair he asks of those who don't follow this example: "Why? Why do we hobble our babies, and our country?". It's not even his explanation ("Women are conditioned to find their own bodies disgusting, except when they can be used to entice men").
No, you only really begin to suspect he's on a completely different planet when he refers to Harriet Harman as "one of the Government's best ministers".
