Great idea!  Am enjoying a new place to play and will post articles I write when I remove my head from this SPSS Survival Manual, the title of which actually is a joke in itself IMO.

We But bear in mind that its possible for two different people to think of very similar ideas.

i explained that to my lecturers; but they just didnt want to believe me. they called it 'plagurism'. sheesh.

It's not plagiarism... it's postmodern free-form research methods.

On the eve of Kerry Packer's memorial service, Allan Bond confirmed rumors that he was in negotiation with the Western Australian and Federal governments to fund a memorial service of his own. "I don't intend to drop off the perch just yet, but that should be seen as a plus. I plan to put the money into a trust fund. That way, by the time I die the fund should have doubled its money and it will be a win win for everybody. I'm still better at handling other people's money than any government."

we generally ask new writers to contribute for some time without being paid.

in my case, it was better than five years.

You say the chaser is a labour of love. But is it a full time job for you all as well?

Ask any woman who's had a child, love leads to labour!! The full time job starts after that, though I usually refer to it as a minimum 15 years sentence.

Well, this isn't so much an 'idea' but an article from the weekend Sydney Morning Herald I found hilarious: in light of cirticism the Immigration Department is undergoing a policy change... of dress code. Apparently new rules will prevent them from wearing midriff tops as well as "jeans, T-shirts, polo shirts and caps" and clothing bearing union logos or "obscene words or pictures"

This got me thinking...if they have to introduce this new policy, what sort of sight are you greeted with going into the Immigration Department? Because I'm picturing crowds of pissed-up teenagers inside.

Of course, this is only a draft proposal at the moment and is undergoing review - does that suggest someone finds the ideas of the policy change draconian? What a crazy world we live in.

writing for The Chaser is first and foremost a labour of love

Then there are those with a love of labour

Interesting you mention that Jared, on the weekend I had an interview with a voluntary organisation that teaches English to asylum-seekers but was refused access by the Immigration Dept because I had made a public statement on Australia's immigration policy in the last 12 months. If I had got through I would have had to have signed a confidentiality agreement that I would never speak to anyone about the volunteer work. And people say the Immigration Dept has something to hide.. nooooooooo   

[I think I just wasted 2 minutes of my life.]

i dont care what it is, what ever the issue or what you say, but you gotta say to a man on the street, "Hello madam, oh.. women. I'm sorry.. sir."

just letting you guys know im starting a spoof of the chasers war named, MUNCHS WAR ON EVERYTHING, its going to be a video/animated feature. Not as crazy as chasers but things close to home
the first ones about plagarism we went to this guys address doing a fake servey, untill the last question was did you plagarise balh blah, he goes.. YES... nodding
next we're planning to prank call him, the plagerism agency asking for him to do another job ahahahahaha

I have quite an idea for the ad road test.

Remember the Fanta ad where whenever a certain person saw something orange they would go up and lick it (such as the traffic men who wear fluro orange vests)? well that would be quite the funny. (its quite an old ad (but not too old))

also the Good Guys ad where everyone starts singing and backflipping and jumping everywhere when a customer comes in.

That is all.

Hamurai AWAY!

The Iraq War (MA)
Action
½ out of 5 stars

If half a star gives you the impression that The Iraq War is a totally useless production then in this reviewer’s opinion you are totally correct. In The Iraq War we see thousands of soldiers and civilians viciously killed which leaves us all pondering the needless brutality that is viewed throughout this feature. At the start of the feature there is a great deal of reference to “Weapons of mass destruction” but no proof ever eventuates, leaving this reviewer pondering the real intentions of the director. On-lookers must wonder why there is no continuation of this storyline and whether this was just a pretext from the start.
Throughout The Iraq War there is very little dialogue and only short bursts of action, which result in mass causalities. The whole feature seems to be not very well thought out and even though it is not as long as some others The Iraq War was hard to endure. This feature could have easily finished with a full extraction of all soldiers and other forces such as UN troops however it is drawn out and there is no talk of an exit strategy leaving the viewer left disappointed by the lack of con-conclusion. While others left before the feature ended I am left intrigued to see if this director can stumble onto a conclusion or will I and those that remain be at the mercy of a new director.
The United States of America brings the Iraq War to us with the key direction from G. W. Bush and his entourage. This is just one of many failed attempts from the United States of America with other productions such as “The Vietnam War”, “The Afghanistan Conflict” and their largest production to date “The War on Terror” all seemingly failing within the first year.
    After the feature finished I was left thinking what would have happened if the director had decided to go with a course of action that was different to the one that he chose. Perhaps if he had decided to go for more of an espionage sort of feature then the overall experience would have been better.
Just one of the many directions that they could have taken the feature could have been by kidnapping the Iraqi President; by doing this the whole storyline would have been taken in a different direction. As a result of the kidnapping a new president must be put in place, maybe even a look-a-like so that the Iraqi citizens would not notice that their old leader was gone albeit they would be curious about the change in his nature. The Iraqi people would immediately experience a better way of life, as the nature of the dictatorship would change. Whoever kidnaps the President would then have control over the whole country and also the large amounts of oil that Iraq has.
All of this would be done covertly leaving viewers intrigued and wondering why other times such violent acts are taken when peaceful measures are just as easy. There would be no need for huge amounts of violence and merciless killing. By using this strategy our director could perhaps one day obtain world peace.

Anna Coren has a great segue tonight ... about the 10 min mark.  Went from game shows to dodgy takeaway food.. "and something you shouldn't be playing games with is food safety".. something like that.  I'm sure Chas saw it anyway

[Jaydee]

bloody oath it is. except for jules - its a double time job for him.

*pats chas on back* There, there, but surely it's not work if you love it, right?... Right?!
