I think this is pretty funny — the guy dressed as Osama is a nice touch:

If only the police had stopped to read the fine print on the “APEC 2007 Official Vehicle” sticker.

“This vehicle belongs to a member of The Chaser’s War on Everything. This dude likes trees and poetry and certain types of carnivorous plants excite him.”

Two police security checkpoints into the sniper-ridden “ring of steel” later, and it took a comedian in an Osama bin Laden outfit to rouse Sydney’s $150 million APEC security monster into action.

The much-vaunted protection for the APEC summit was peeled away with embarrassing ease yesterday by satirists armed with hire cars flying Canadian flags.

Nine men and two women were charged last night with breaching APEC security zones after the fake motorcade sailed past police checkpoints to drive within metres of President George Bush’s hotel, the InterContinental. The charges carry a maximum sentence of six months’ jail.
