Who says cops have a sense of humour? It seems that in Sydney they don't. At least not when it comes to satirical attempts to cross the rabble-proof fence.
This story from the ABC Online. No doubt we'll hear more in the next few days:
Two stars of The Chaser's War on Everything have been detained after conducting a fake motorcade through Sydney.
Chaser co-star Chris Taylor has told ABC News Online that police have detained Chas Licciardello and the show's executive producer Julian Morrow.
Taylor says the motorcade was made up of three cars.
"A lot of people were involved [in this stunt]," he said.
"Some have been detained and some haven't."
Taylor says the crew members have been detained in their cars, while police wait for special units to arrive.
Lawyers for the ABC are also on their way to the scene.
The Chaser convoy had been dressed up to look like an official Canadian motorcade.
"No particular reason why we chose Canada," Taylor said.
He says they thought it was feasible Canada would only have three cars in its motorcade.
ABC spokesman Peter Ritchie has confirmed Licciardello and Morrow have been detained, but not arrested.
