Why go to any trouble when they're only going to die anway?
Hooly dooly. What a prudish lot Australians are turning into. The Chaser's War on Everything featured a short skit with a fake advertisement for the "Make a Realistic Wish Foundation." But apparently many viewers were incredibly outraged.
So much so, that the Chaser team have decided to take the segment out of the repeat broadcasts of that episode. Probably at the request of the ABC management.
OK, so the skit wasn't the funniest i have seen from The Chaser team. But its hardly the most offensive. Ben Cousins put it best after his finger incident - people need to stop being so precious. Its a comedy show, don't like it, don't watch it. I think Australians are losing their sense of humor.

I grew up watching hale and pace, the two ronnies, dave allen, smith and jones, fry and laurie to name just a few. All of them pushed the boundaries. This is no different. Do you recall the outrage when hale and pace pretended to cook a cat in the microwave? What an overreaction!!!!!
I often find myself laughing at the misery of others and apparently the chaser team do also if they consider the soon-to-be-dead as comedy material.
Yes I am being sarcastic.
And before you call me a prude for my opion, think of this: How would you have felt about the chaser guys if it was YOUR child lying in that bed.
I laugh at Death.
But not at the Dying.
The kids are actors Hots.
I know the kids are actors, but just because they're not real cancer sufferers doesn't mean that cancer is any less terrible. I watched my grandmother waste away and die, It didn't strike me as funny in the slightest.
Hah that was great, people take comedy too serious these days.
Hots that is real life, they wouldnt laugh at that either would they. Its a TV program aimed to push boundaries. People need to just accept that the Chasers are an over the top comedy show.
