Are The Chasers going too far?
Posted at 18:48 on 25 October, 2007
Another show, another stunt, another flock of talk-back callers feasting like seagulls on the apparent uproar. But are The Chasers really taking things too far or are the critics simply in a vocal minority? Do they go too far, or not far enough?

not far enough. for too long have the public let the media build up talentless eye candy as though they are australian heroes. the chasers are a touch of reality for the sheeple! FM |

I think they're hilarious, and I watch their show every week. No, I don't think they've gone too far. Osama Bin Laden |

i liked their earlier stuff, it was clever. some of the stuff they're doing now is more stupid than funny though. still better, by far, than anyone else though. george bush |

Absolutly too far, what a complete act of cowardise when you have to stoop to moking the dead. The families of these folk are far too gracious, try moking my dead and i assure you i would wipe the smiles right off the faces of these lower life slime. Danny |

Way to miss the point, Danny.. The song was mocking how we take pains to celebrate dead people as 'top blokes', mocking the notion that respect for the dead should involve ignoring negative traits. The Chaser boys are mavericks, lots of fun to watch. Robert Maynard |

Not far enough. I gave The Chaser a leaflet just before Tony Abbott walked by, as well as a sarcastic pat on the back. The Chaser had the opportunity to show an individual speaking up against the government in a very unusual way but didn't. Stan |

The Chasers are great. I was still in primary school when they made cnnn so I feel like I've grown up with the chasers humour and I don't think they've gone too far. The way I see it is, if people get offended by what they're doing, they have a choice and don't have to watch it. Long live the chasers. l-esky. |

No they haven't gone to far, but the show was better when it was just political satire. Now they just play lame practical jokes on members of the public, targeting people they think dont watch the ABC. Claire |

I like they're sense of humor,but making a mockoring of the dead,although true. Not alright. But this comedy show is way better than the corny and stupid lame tv programmes produced by the U.S. No not far enough. But as a simple solution to all those who are still whinging about this. DOn't watch it. Simple as that. The rare person with an IQ |
