"The Chasers" APEC Prank

[DucksNuts]

Australian forums are running wild with this story.

Basically, The Chasers, a comedy team (link to wiki), set up a prank, where they faked a motorcade to gain entry into APEC restricted security area.

They were waved through 2 checkpoints and finally pulled over across from the hotel were dubya was staying.

The convoy was pulled over in Macquarie Street in a block adjacent to the InterContinental Hotel, where US President George W. Bush is a guest during the APEC summit.

Licciardello was reportedly dressed as Osama bin Laden, causing further embarrassment to security forces.

"A prank by a TV comedy crew has turned into an international incident and it could end up making a laughing stock of the entire (APEC) security machine," said a straight-faced Phillip Palmer, a newsreader on America's ABC TV network.

"$US160 million was spent to keep dignitaries safe, and a convoy of actors got within yards of President Bush's hotel."

I love this show, its hilarious.
