the apec summit was a good one but havent heard the funeral song

HQ Jay · 20-10-2007, 13:01

I usualy get a good laugh at the stupid things they do, but I did think that song was bad taste, how can Brocks, Dianna and Steve Irwins deaths be somehow seen as humour??

Yes, I do think they are, I love the show, but some of the stuff is a bit offensive, I can see the show getting axed possibly in the future.

Yes it was in poor taste and they did go a bit far with that song. But i don't think the show should be axed, they took a risk and it back fired, everyone makes mistakes i guess they can only learn from this one and come up with some better material. I'm surprised the boys are still on air, the abc axed "the glass house" for pickin on the prime minister to much but that show was pretty tame compared to the chaser boys. U cant please everyone and if ppl find the show too offensive then change the chanel.

i agree with ron the apec one was good and some of the other stuff they do is pretty good to and im all for good humour but that song was a bit over the line and yeh robyns right to if its offensive change the channel

There APEC stunt was funny,but thetre funeral song is nothing short of disgraceful.How could anyone put something like that together and think it was going to be funny.It was a sad day for aussie humoer thats for sure..

Most of it is good. But sometimes they just push it too far.

been a while since ive seen the show love the way that they have a go at the politicians i couldnt give a rats arse about politics never have and never will

Well i dont think its offensive.

They way i look at it is, Yes the funeral song was offensive to people, takin the piss outta famous dead people, but just because they are dead does that make it bad?

What would have been the reaction to the song if Peter Brock had have crashed into the tree and survived, would you find it offensive then?

Or what if Princess Dianna wasnt married into the royal family, could we possibly give a shit???

Or let me ask this- a couple of weeks ago they did a rendition of Stair Way to Heaven, by it was titled Stair Way to Kevin (Rudd) and the Kevin 07 campaign. Do you think he would find it offensive?
