NEWSFLASH: Group that gets paid to be controversial is controversial

CHASER GETS CANNED for two weeks

Fuck the media for making a bigger deal out of this than it should have. Fuck the people who complain about this shit who are mostly 30/40-something mums and dads who think of themselves as moral authorities for everyone. Fuck the ABC for only doing this as a PR move to satisfy the aforementioned groups.

Seriously, what the fucking fuck. The heading "Mum breaks down over Chaser stunt" makes me gag. Why do so many people fail to comprehend the meaning of "If you don't like it, don't watch it"?

"The piece was a very black sketch, obviously too black, and we're really sorry for the significant pain and anger we have caused."

ABC: No, we like The Chaser. Just they're... The Chaser's too black sounding for us.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I really liked watching The Chaser every weekT___T
That wasn't even their most offensive sketch:/

Yeah, that pisses me off. I've been watching these news articles about it the last couple of days. DON'T WATCH IT IF IT ISN'T TO YOUR TASTES DOUCHEBAGS

FFS

It reminds me of some "Penn & Teller" episode I watched once about the right to be offended. I've only seen maybe one or two episodes of that show, but nobody has a right to be offended and a right to have something done about it.

These people who right into ABC need a swift cock to the anus.

I just wrote "right" instead of "wright". What the fuck. I guess you really can become retarded when you're drunk and type in the wrong word. *cry*

Fri, I'd love for you to come over to my place sometime XD Or come to Canberra and have a night out and crash at my house. Or vice versa. That would be awesome.

Ah, fuck. Unfortunately, the main audience for the ABC isn't people who enjoy The Chaser - it's people who enjoy Jane Austen repeats and goddamn Midsomer Murders.

I don't think they really got any good jokes out of the dying children material, though :/

I don't think parents like to be reminded that their children are 'going to die anyway' from terminal diseases that they're trying to live through knowing that they're just watching their own children die in front of them.

Maybe us youngers will understand when we have children with terminal diseases. But then we've probably been through it before with pets and oldies.

What did they expect from a show declaring war on everything? They need to change the name to "Chasers war on government approved topics open to slander"
