We're not entirely sure how it happened, but a new Twitter craze celebrating Ed Miliband, which includes photo-shopping his face onto celebrities' bodies, has taken off.
It all started when a movement dubbed the Milifandom was created by 17-year-old Abby, in an attempt to counter "the distorted media portrayal of Ed". A flurry of #Milifandom posts followed.
It's now evolved into something both brilliant and disturbing, as photoshop whizzes have clubbed together to produce doctored photo after doctored photo of the Labour leader in the run-up to 7 May's general election.
Their efforts include superimposing Miliband's face onto a risque Prince album, as well as shots of David Bowie, Geri Haliwell, Kurt Cobain and, along with his brother David, the Gallagher brothers.

Though Ed himself, whose music taste is limited mainly to A-ha and Neil Diamond, might not appreciate these feats of photoshop brilliance, it might gain his party a few extra votes.
