For those of you who aren't aware, the Chasers gang (from Aussie show The Chasers War on Everything) recently attempted a motorcade stunt at APEC Australia, currently being held in Sydney. They reportedly got within 10 metres of the location George Bush is staying before they were detained and later charged.

Julian Morrow and Chas Licciardello (two of the main stars), as well as 9 extras now face charges of breaching a restricted zone and are due in Court some time in October.

There is a bit of a stink over this currently due mainly to the fact that they managed to break through the multi-million dollar Apec security and polls are now running wild about whether this was brilliance, or sheer stupidity.

So what do you think? I personally think they did a great thing, if all it takes to breach security is 3 cars disguised as a Canadian Motorcade and a joke ID badge, than it's saying a lot about the security. ;D

They managed to get through 2 security checkpoints before they were arrested after turning around and practically giving themselfs up (one was even dressed as Osama Bin Laden, just to add to the humiliation). Can't wait to see what's on the show next week, go Chasers!

Haha, I saw it on the news and thought the exact same thing as Strider.
I mean, 10 METRES, What the fuck.

And you know this but you can get almost all of The Chasers episodes from their site for nothing.
:biggrin:

It's the second show since they're mid-year break, and yeah, the future of the show is a little in doubt at the moment. One of the people charged is the executive producer of the show.

I'm a little worried they'll be given a harsh sentence so that the Police can show they mean business, but it's also a case of the Police just being red-faced from their security being breached so easily.

Who knows, we'll need to wait until October 4th to find out what will happen.
