Kevin87 a birthday blow for PM

He was elected as the younger, fresher and more energised alternative to John
Howard.
But a startling new video released to mark Kevin Rudd's 52nd birthday today
shows there is little to separate them 35 years from now.
The digitally-altered clip, dubbed Kevin87 in a cheeky nod to his winning
Kevin07 election campaign, shows the Prime Minister slowly growing old - and
bearing a resemblance to his predecessor.
The video was commissioned by the Aged and Community Services Australia as part
of a new campaign to draw the Federal Government's attention to the needs of
Australia's aging population.
The Sydney-based advertising agency Ursa wound the clock forward on the PM using
a digital "morphing" program.
"It's probably the last thing anyone wants to see on their birthday, but it is a
pretty clever way of bringing attention to the issue of aging, because it
happens to all of us," ACSA CEO Greg Mundy said.
"By using the Prime Minister as a symbol for all Australians we are able to
effectively and engagingly demonstrate that aged care is relevant to everybody -
there is no escaping getting older."
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, one quarter of Australia's
population will be elderly by 2051.
