Australian Comedy Group Prods APEC Security

Posted by kdawson on from the blame-canada dept.

ajdlinux writes "Members of the Australian comedy group The Chaser were arrested today after attempting to breach security at the APEC Leaders Conference in Sydney. Chas Licciardello and Julian Morrow were arrested, along with nine crew members (all are now free on bail), just a short distance away from the InterContinental Hotel where President Bush is staying. They had already cleared at least two police checkpoints, according to CNN, disguised as a Canadian motorcade. 'No particular reason we chose Canada,' said Taylor. 'We just thought they'd be a country who the cops wouldn't scrutinize too closely, and who feasibly would only have three cars in their motorcade — as opposed to the 20 or so gas guzzlers that Bush has brought with him.'" CNN has a photo of Licciardello, dressed as Osama bin Laden, being arrested.

    Any particular reason for this story other than another kdawsonfud attempt to get a slam in at Bush?

      Yeap - that is it. kdawson has a direct phone line to the DNC.

      I think it would be a fun prank to cane these basters on youtube.

      Hey kdawson, this ain't your blog. Stop posting stuff that doesn't matter to most slashdotters.

      I voted this story up on the Firehose last night. If it were posted by another editor, would you be as vituperative?

      If it didn't have the offtopic Bush slam in it, would you have been so supportive of it?
