LOL jep funny read.
But almost laughed more about the Chaser "warnings": " The Chaser newspaper may cause paper cuts. [...] Use of The Chaser is not recommended in places ruled by foreign regimes that restrict freedom of speech, or Queensland."

Great story.. and yeah, it's a fake. Chaser is like The Onion, sorta.. but down under
 They have (or had) a show called CNNNN (Chaser Nonstop News Network Now or something similar). It was hilarious.. they took the piss outta CNN/MSNBC type shows perfectly... you'd have to watch each episode twice.. once to watch the actual episode, and once to read all the funny stuff they have scrolling in the "breaking news" line that seems to be so common now-a-days.

The Chaser was brilliant...
My favourite Chaser headline remains 'God Apologises for Using Homeless People to Spread his Message' Sometimes they get really close to being downright tasteless though: 'OUTRAGE OVER FOREIGN RAPE SCANDAL - Whatever happened to the good old fashioned Aussie rape?' |

back when the boys from the Chaser were editing Honi Soit (the Sydney Uni newspaper), the Anna Wood/Ecstasy story was all over the news... Pretty girl killed by new killer drug... etc...
Firth ran the headline, "Anna Wood, would you?"... still one of my fav headlines of all time.

Yeah! Stuck up celebrities. Who does she think she is, denying a dying child. Of course, I haven't been feeling all that well lately either, and could use some overrated celebrity-type oral attention too.
