The Chaser's War on Dead Celebrities

I can't believe there's been such a media frenzy over the Chaser's 'Eulogy Song' which aired on ABC last night! You'd have thought people would've got used to the Chaser 'pushing the boundaries' by now. I think they'll be happy about all the hype, because it means they've still got the shock factor. I understand why people are offended, but they need to realise that it's comedy. It's there to make us laugh at ourselves. Some of the dead people they mocked would've even been laughing if they'd heard it.

However, I think one part of the song was a bit of a cop-out. It would seem that nothing is sacred to the Chaser, except Belinda Emmett. Most of the time they don't know where to draw the line, or they step over the line on purpose, to the point of getting arrested for their art, but last night they drew the line at Belinda Emmett!

Anyway, it's so true, what they're saying. The media loves to slam celebrities when there's a scandal, but then they die and suddenly it goes from slander to salute.

I take my hat off to the Chaser team for being able to offend hundreds of people with a three minute song!

Watch the Eulogy Song here. Big language warning.
