The Chaser+ABC+Sick Kids=TFU Friday

BREAKING NEWS: The ABC has suspended the Chaser (i.e. taken them off air for two weeks)

I should have waited a few hours before doing this!

Double breaking news - the Chaser team apologised

They don't support the ABC's decision. I don't support theirs.

There's a bit of a stir in Australia at the moment about a comedy team known as The Chaser:

You can probably find the video on YouTube at least until all the takedown notices have been serve by searching on "Chaser's war on everything".

I'm not going to waste time arguing whether or not it was funny/acceptable - comedy is subjective. What I think is totally fucked up is the ABC not standing behind their decision to air the show.

let me guess christian

[AngryAussie]

@dkeup What is that supposed to mean?

[sangstar1]

AngryAussie I am 100% on your side, but those bastards from the Chaser should have been cut out entirely from ever performing on TV, including heavy fines for each of them as well as a jail term.

[AngryAussie]

@sangstar1 Yeah, that seems like a sensible approach

[jackpipsam]

I found it quite funny really

[AngryAussie]

@jackpipsam It's a matter of personal taste

[AngryAussie]

@homsarshat Why the fuck shouldn't I?
