I'm still laughing at the Chaser's latest stunt, but possibly even more amusing is the way the Police Commissioner is trying to paint this as a success. Um... no. Not really, but nice try. (And if you haven't seen the fake security passes, you should check 'em out. They weren't exactly being subtle about this.)

While I can see why some people disapprove of this stunt, I think I believe the Chaser when they say that they never expected to get through the first checkpoint - I can't imagine the lawyers approving it otherwise, let alone the whole 'risking and life and limb' aspect.

Anyway, since I have this option to post polls and never actually use it, here's a poll for you all:

[Poll #1051584]

ETA: And on a completely different topic, I want one. Yeah, I agree the Ewoks were way overdone in RotJ, but they are undeniably cute :)

Or you could be like us normal people, and not be getting up in the middle of the night to watch football :P

How rude! Calling rugby union football is like calling Star Wars Star Trek -- they are nothing alike!

And rugby is a higher calling, everyone knows it's the only sport they play in Heaven. :P

They're all football! Slightly different types of football, I grant you that, but still football. Like... football is the genus, and rugby union is the species. Yep. Just like that :)

(Of course, Soccer/football is definitely in a separate category...)

Unlike Star Wars/Star Trek, which have nothing in common at all, except for a certain nominal similarity and both being set in space.

Chaser stunt = the best thing about APEC.

I'm still highly amused by the whole thing myself.

Absolutely. I have no idea how they are going to top this one.

O h wait, I take it back, not furry. I want a stuffed one.

On another cute note, my daughter is in the next room singing the Kim Possible theme song.

A furry/plushie one with that much detail would be brilliant!

And your kid sounds so cute :)

This even made the news in London (barely) - I think it was brilliant. Love those Chaser boys!

I'm impressed that it is making the news at all overseas!
