Osama at APEC?!

This is an interesting bit of news. A team of comedians from the Australian gag show "The Chaser's War on Everything", have managed to cause the first embarrassing APEC security blunder with one of the members dressed as Osama bin Laden managing to ride a fake motorcade through two police cordons into the red zone.

The stunt embarrassed Sydney police who have imposed the tightest security measures in city history for a summit of leaders from Pacific Rim countries, including Bush. Cast members put together a sham motorcade, hiring two motorcycles and three large cars on which they put Canadian flags. Police waved the motorcade through two checkpoints before pulling it over near the Intercontinental Hotel where Bush is staying.

"No particular reason we chose Canada," cast member Chris Taylor was quoted as saying on The Sydney Morning Herald's Web site. "We just thought they'd be a country who the cops wouldn't scrutinize too closely, and who feasibly would only have three cars in their motorcade as opposed to the 20 or so gas guzzlers that Bush has brought with him."

Below is the episode when they aired the said security breach. The Chaser, just brilliant!
