Sorry Communicat, but you and your friends would appear to be in a small minority. The Herald poll is approaching 30,000 votes, with only 13% finding the stunt "not funny". Even Alexander Downer had trouble restraining his mirth when he commented on it (presumably because, for once, he wasn't the target).

Now they've been at it again, "driving" down Bligh St in a cardboard "motorcade" (complete with paper plate wheels). The police were smart enough this time to just send them on their way.

well mabye not FUNNY to me(though i do tend to chuckle at the most odd occasions) but VERY clever, and simple at that, so simple its scary. It does prove a point to me that we often just cant see for looking. What are we looking for in a 'terrorist'? a bandanna and a gun? i think not. So this was pretty clever, Osama in a chauffeur driven vehicle, flags and all!

They were wrong, they were stupid, they are an embarrassment to Australia...the Chasers were pretty good though.

To those who are claiming the Chaser Guys could have been shot, I think thats just a face saving attack by the Commissioner.

Anti-terrorism forces would have been trained on what to expect when dealing with possible car bombs. One of the first things you would/should learn about is whats called a "Dead Man switch". This means that if you kill the bomber, the bomb will go off.

Its all a smoke screen to try and distract attention from the fact that the security system failed.

The whole world is laughing. Its on every TV network in the world, and YouTube is in override from people wanting to know who the chasers are. They know about the dreadful fences and the stupid security, and now the Chasers have made people of the world, with a sense of humor, laugh.

Some are slow to see the funny side.

The Chaser team proved that they have more intelligence, than the paranoid, overacting, security circus, currently playing in Sydney.
Humour is so human, corporates are not human, as a matter of fact, corporates are not legally "persons", but corporates in the US and Australia are using their power over governments to change the laws, which would see them as "persons", thus making it more easier for them to have more influence on who is elected, and enable them to grab land and resources from real "persons".
