Nothing I can say to make this funnier than it already is. Can't wait for Wednesday.

Since the Chaser's is an Australian show, a quick Wiki on The Chaser's War On Everything (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chaser%27s_War_on_Everything) may prove useful.

On 6 September 2007, during the APEC Leaders Summit in Sydney, Julian Morrow and Chas Licciardello along with nine other production crew members were arrested after they drove a fake Canadian motorcade down Macquarie Street and successfully breached the APEC restricted zone. It was reported that the motorcade finally came to a halt just metres from the hotel of the President of the United States George W. Bush. Police only realised that the motorcade was a hoax when Chas Licciardello, dressed as Osama bin Laden, stepped out of an official-looking car replete with a Canadian flag flying from the bonnet.

Discuss?

Canada must be so pleased :/

Speaking as a Canadian, I find it to be a very good and humourous thing actually.

The fact that they chose Canada as their representative country shows that, despite the election and actions of Stephan Harper, the globe still primarily sees us as peacemakers, not conflict-initiators. Theres a reason that Canada is so well-respected in the world.

And maybe this will also be a lesson to those who say that everything is being done to ensure security. If this had been an actual terrorist attack instead of a prank, there would have been even more hell to pay than there is right now.

Hah. I love those Chaser boys. I had a good laugh when I heard about this.

[bigdonkey1]

hehehe

heh, I was in Sydney during apec. The city was DEAD. There was nobody around the harbour or anything. but i didnt go in on the day of the security breach.

Has anyone gone on youtube? There are videos of the chaser' s documentation of their breach. its actually quite funny to see how stupid some of the guards,etc are. lol

[Shiny Milotic]

They have to appear in court apparently.

[kazzie16]

yes, i heard that too. but i blame the security though... if something happened for real, the public could potentially have been in danger, if they were real terrorists.
Pah...

[gorurk]

that was some funny stuff
