If you’re watching this show, we know your probably a typical latte sipping, ‘i love public broadcasting’ sort of person

No current affairs this week, but the Chaser’s War on Everything did delve into the seedy world of cable television to take a look at what $100 a month gets you from Foxtel. And although I am a ‘i love public broadcasting’ sort of person, I do pay $100 a month for cable, and can’t imagine television without it.

On a side note, a 15 year old has been forging infringement notices from the ABC and successfully getting clips of the Chaser’s War removed from YouTube. The SMH reports that the ABC has since had the videos reinstated and that they want “to get our content out there on as many platforms as possible, run by as many different operators as possible”. So, is the ABC saying I should post more Chaser videos here?

Read the email I got from YouTube below.

This week’s lesson: Humiliation

I’m the treasurer of the Pussycat Dolls fan club

Blame, dignity and a little incest, all in a days fun for the Chaser. Their continued and brutal attacks on A Current Affair and Today Tonight undermine the entire genre and with special appearances from Chas’ parents, some of the funniest five minutes on television.

Catch the whole show from the Chaser’s website or through their iTunes link.

Update: Ratings are in, they nearly doubled last years viewing average.

The Chaser’s War on Everything returned last night, and while I can tell you it beat out House, Cold Case and Heroes in Canberra, you’ll have to wait for someone else to tell you how it did in metro Australia, but I think its fair to say it probably did pretty well.

It was a complete return to form, and my favourite of all segments, What have we learned from Current Affairs this Week was just brilliant, with a special tribute to Naomi.
