Will the real Ben Laden Stand-up - Fake Ben Laden from Australian Comedy Show Gets Through APEC Security to within one block from Bush hotel
"A satirical Australian TV show, The Chaser's War on Everything, staged a fake motorcade through the streets of Sydney. Many world leaders, including President Bush, are in Sydney for this week's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting. So there is a lot of security, about $250 million worth. But the fake motorcade of three cars and two motorcycles made it through two official checkpoints. The convoy was eventually pulled over about a block from Bush's hotel, apparently when the comics tried to turn around.
Here's the best part: One of the people in the motorcade was dressed to look like Osama bin Laden. Note EU-Digest: If a comedian dressed up like Ben Laden was able to get through tight US and Australian security and come to within one block of President Bush his hotel, it might be time for Ben Laden to dress up like a comedian and appear on the "Good Morning America" show. It would certainly be an improvement on his own bad quality video's, which we are forced to watch on a regular basis.
