THE CHASER’S WAR ON EVERYTHING – THE FIXERS: Sheik Al Hilali
I have to confess to getting more than a bit of a laugh from ‘The Chaser’s War on Everything.’ Certainly some of the stuff they do is not good (and I don’t just mean not funny – it can be offensive, etc).
Some time ago in Australia, Sheik Al Hilali said something about women being like slabs of meat and often got into trouble for some of his outspoken comments. In these two clips the Chaser boys take on the Sheik, with an appearance from Anthony Mundine in the second clip. It is amusing J
WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH
I thought it was time to highlight the Westboro Baptist Church in the United States. This is a church that I believe has gone way too far in its condemnation of homosexuality.
Yes, I do believe that the Bible (and therefore God) condemns the homosexual lifestyle and way of life. It is a practice that the Bible clearly condemns and no one who reads the Bible can escape the clarity of its condemnation of homosexual sinfulness. As such, all attempts to bring the practice of homosexuality into the church as an acceptable alternative lifestyle are clearly anti-Biblical and anti-Christian.
Yet it is my contention that the Westboro Baptist Church goes way too far in the way that it condemns homosexuality and it seems to make attacking homosexuality as one of its most central tenets. This would seem to me to be an overbalanced position that has caused the church to loose a more balanced approach to homosexual sin, let alone the presentation of the gospel to sinful men and women.
The holier-than-thou approach of the Westboro Baptist Church is evidenced all over the church’s web site and even the site’s domain name of www.godhatesfags.com is a clear indication of what you would expect to find on the site.
The church declares that the 9/11 attacks were the result of God’s punishment on America for condoning the homosexual lifestyle. In one photo there is a slogan carried on a banner that reads, ‘Thank God for AIDS’ and another that reads ‘Pray for more dead soldiers.’ There is a plethora of similar sentiment on the web site and in its sermonic materials.
The Blog site for the church is also full of the rants and raves of this church and I’m sure you will be appalled at the diatribes contained within it.

THE COMPLETE WALKS OF JOHN HOWARD
‘The Chaser’s War on Everything’ is a satirical comedy series shown on the ABC in Australia. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea I’ll admit and I find some of the skits offensive myself. However, there are some quite funny skits that really make it worth a watch I think. Oftentimes they hit the nail on the head in the midst of their very funny send-ups.
With John Howard now well and truly departed from the political scene in Australia, having lost his job to both Kevin Rudd and Maxine (in his electorate), I thought it might be time for John Howard diehards to purchase their bit of memorabilia to remember him by. What better way to remember John Howard than with owning your own copies of ‘The Complete Walks of John Howard’ can there be?

A Current Affair – Hypocrites
Here in Australia we have a TV show known as ‘The Chaser’s War on Everything.’ It is a satirical look at events from an Australian perspective. It can often be quite crude and more than a little bit silly. Still, it is certainly an ‘Australian’ type show.
In a recent episode, one of the boys followed a mobile advertising bill board on the back of a truck while in their own truck having a go at mobile advertising bill boards. In this ‘skit’ they followed the mobile billboard around Sydney.
A couple of days later another Australian show on a rival network, ‘A Current Affair,’ took a pot shot at ‘The Chaser’s War on Everything’ for dangerous driving, stalking, harassing the drivers, etc.
Now interestingly, ‘A Current Affair’ has just run a story on council members on a junket, spending tax payers money to have a junket. In doing the story, the reporter for the show followed council members around for several days, including some while they were driving – now call be a few sandwiches short of a picnic if you like, but isn’t that the same thing that they had a go at ‘The Chaser’s War on Everything?’ Isn’t this known as hypocrisy?
Maybe this particular TV network is jealous of ‘The Chaser’s War on Everything’ because their own show, ‘The Nation,’ is so very, very lame and is failing? Could this be the reason – they have tried to cash in on ‘The Chaser’s War on Everything’ and their success, by doing a bit of ‘similar’ comedy and satire – sadly for them the show stinks and is really quite useless.
Perhaps ‘A Current Affair’ should just concentrate on its own poor performance and return to real news and current affairs, rather than reporting on stories like women who buy three shoes a week, men who wear hats, etc… OK, not quite that useless, but not far off it.
