London Mayor Boris Johnson

Cassetteboy describe themselves as “two tits” who “cut up stuff” and “use little bits to their advantage.” Their slick mash-up videos have developed a firm cult following.

Their work tends to poke fun at the powers-that-be and their latest offering is no different – it’s an alternative Olympic welcome from “fluff headed loon” (and London Mayor) Boris Johnson to those arriving in the English capital for the Olympic Games.

In the send-up video, Johnson (sort of) refers to London as “a place of mud, illiteracy and embarrassing diseases” and refers to the Games as “the whore of Babylon.”

Initial reaction on YouTube has been roundly positive but there has been a few dissenters. “Perhaps think less of your political message and more of what might actually be funny in the future? Not one of your best,” suggested Awkward91.
