The Chaser's War On Everything to move networks?

The Chaser's War On Everything might move to either Ten,Seven or Nine. The Chaser's War On Everything's contract with ABC TV is up this December. If Seven gets the rights they will target Nine's A Current Affair and if Nine gets the rights to the show they will target Seven's Today Tonight. The team is not so sure where they will go but I hope they make the right decision. If you live in a different country or live in Australia but hasn't seen the show you can see clips of this fanastic Aussie comedy show through these links[you don't have to watch all of them but I suggest maybe 2 or 3]:

Rude and leud dude - South park article

For fans of South Park who don't buy the Herald Sun in Victoria,live in another state or another country read this.It is a article that I have typed up from the Herald Sun's Wednesday TV Guide that had an article on South Park.Here it goes:

One reason South Park  is so good is the united front the shared vision of the creators: Matt Stone and Trey Parker.

"Me and Matt love to argue" Trey says. "But in general our humour is pretty alike. Matt says: "We never have that problem where I want something one way and he wants it another". As ever their surrogates in this enterprise  are Cartman[Trey Parker],Kyle[Matt Stone], Stan[Trey Parker] and Kenny[Matt Stone] are four bratty bundled up youngsters in an unhinged Colorado town.

From August the 13th 1997  was the day that crude and rude started."Instead of being crappy"Parker says "we decided we better figure out how to make it good".Season have flown by. "It's only been in the past two years that I'm thinking we might be here for a while" Stone says. Now Trey aged 37 and Matt aged 35 have signed a deal with Comedy Central for 30 more episodes in 2008. "We're the guys  who if someone says you really shouldn't make fun of Scientology we say 'whatever' Trey says."Someone says they might come to try to burn your house down,we say 'We'll get another one".

"We never try to be cynical"Matt says."I think we're really opttimistic happy people and the show to have an optimistic message".

Trey adds: "It's not like we have a formula but I think one of the reasons this show has survived is that it has a big heart at it's centre.Other cartoon shows have people crap about on each other and make racist jokes.But I don't think people tune in just for that.I just don't think a show lasts for 10 years without a heart".

controvesy behind neopets

If you also play neopets you should disable your account.The reason why read this:

Australia's battle aganist neopets:

In October of 2004, while McDonald's was promoting Neopets plushies in their Happy Meals, a story on the Australian show Today Tonight featured a nine-year-old boy claiming that the site requires one to gamble in order to receive enough Neopoints to feed one's Neopet, or else it is sent to an orphanage. While this is factually incorrect (gambling is not required, nor are pets ever sent to an orphanage if they are not fed), it is true that the website has a number of games of chance that are directly based on real-life games like blackjack, poker, and even lottery scratch cards. Neopets had prohibited users under the age of 13 from playing most games that involve gambling. However, there are neither blocks to prevent a child over 13 from accessing gambling games, nor any safeguards to prevent a minor from creating an adult account.

This article sparked a nationwide controversy as concerned parents voiced their complaints about the website, prompting McDonald's to pressure Neopets into temporarily blocking Australian accounts from accessing games of chance for the duration of the promotion, which ended on November 5, 2004. When this happened, a flurry of complaints appeared on Neopets itself when even Australians legally able to gamble could not access any game of chance on the website. Complaints quickly died down after users realized that by merely changing the country setting on their user preferences, the temporary ban could be by passed.

 

Scientology

Neopets CEO Doug Dohring is closely affiliated with the controversial Church of Scientology. Dohring has been quoted as saying "Having used his technology in every business activity... Mr. Hubbard's organizational concepts are always with me" . In December 2005, a self-proclaimed former Neopets employee said that Scientology had impacted the administration of the company and staff, but had not affected anything on the website itself.

     User criticism

Some users believe that they are poorly treated and considered nothing more than mere statistics, that the site has lost its friendliness over the years, and that the quality of customer service has degraded considerably. Some users believe that the Neopets staff freeze accounts too often without good reason. One problem results in families in which more than one person plays Neopets. If one member of the family downloads and uses an illegal program and is caught, everyone in the family is frozen because they use the same IP address. Users that have had their accounts frozen may be able to recover their accounts by filling in and submitting a form.

Accounts may also be frozen because of actions performed by others when they gain access to a player's account. The staff at Neopets state that their site has never been hacked; they argue that users can only be tricked into giving out their passwords, or have their own computers hacked and their passwords stolen via keyloggers.

The Neopets rule that slash, shounen-ai, or any other type of homosexual relationships cannot be roleplayed (or even mentioned) has been criticized as discrimination, although Neopets does state that all types of romantic content are against the rules. More recently, Neopets has published multiple editorials in The Neopian Times to remind players that romance is forbidden. In addition it has also been made clear that the only content allowed on the site is that relating strictly to Neopets; romance as well as other subjects, such as religion or pop culture, are not to be discussed on the site.

Religion, in all shape and forms, is entirely banned from the site. This makes certain users unhappy that they cannot put any religious symbols, such as crosses, on their User Lookup. Neopets claims that this is the easiest way to make sure there are no disagreements.

The Chaser's War on Everything
Avg Score: 8.49    Total Ratings: 222    Total Reviews: 23
A comedy program that makes clever and genius comedy.And for once its Australian.In a way when they joked about Channel Ten's new ad with the American actors from:Law and Order,NCIS etc... by saying at the end with on of the chaser's saying:"I believe Ten's too much Americanized''. Really all The Chaser's are trying to is to keep more home made Australian shows and get rid of lot of American shows and Muslims from our country,Australia.

This show The O.C is absolute c***.It is a stupid drama show that sends a message to teenagers to fall in love and be a couple while at school.Iam so glad Fox axed it and that Channel 10 will never be able to air it here in Australia ever again.The O.C offically SUCKS dudes.

Lehmo is a absolute talented comedian on Before The Game.When Kozi fainted on the Seven Network,Lehmo had a go at him in a humourous way by saying he turned at many events in 2005.Lehmo makes these comments that are so hilarious like 'What are the odds' and 'Kozi'.He is my favourite panellist on Before The Game and will always to me.Talented is what he is.
