Greenguy's Board - View Single Post - Made my day: Fake Osama Motorcade in Sydney

I absolutely loved waking up to that story on CNN yesterday morning.

Today there's an update on the page Karen posted at the start of the thread. Gotta love the 'no quitters' attitude of these guys:

Three members of the Chaser team have been questioned by police after attempting to perform a fake motorcade in Sydney's CBD - one day after their colleagues were charged for entering into the restricted APEC zone in a fake Canadian motorcade. The trio (was) apparently attempting to replicate yesterday's satirical stunt - but this time using cardboard cut-outs of black cars instead of the real thing.

(The success these guys had in getting so close to a target also helped me remember that one of the reasons that terrorist groups aren't more successful is that most of their leaders and members have absolutely no sense of humor.)
