The cast of The Chaser's War on Everything

The Chaser's War on Everything, a satiric hidden camera prank show from Australia, aims to be everything most shows of their ilk fail to achieve. It's satirical, unbiased in its stance against everything from commercialism to phony diplomacy, and more probing than a proctologist with banana hands.

This sparks a startling question: what the hell is a show this smart doing on the G4 Network?

The show found its way to the States earlier this year as part of the network's Duty Free TV block of foreign cult faves like Trigger Happy TV, Unbeatable Banzuke and Ninja Warrior. It's become one of the better shows on the all geek network, which either says worlds for the three-year-old show or doesn't say much for the rest of G4's original programming. I'll let you decide while reminding you this is the same network that once produced a game show where the first person to vomit lost. Even Fox wouldn't sink that low. Wait, are we talking about some kind of survival situation?

Chaser's War on Everything
A 15-year-old boy in Australia apparently sent a letter to Google claiming he represented ABC (The Australian Broadcasting Corporation, not the American one). Specifically, he demanded the site remove YouTube videos from the TV show The Chaser's War on Everything.

And Google agreed. Not only did the company remove the videos from YouTube, but it sent copyright infringement letters to the users who had uploaded the clips.

Thing is, actual representatives of ABC say they had no problem with users uploading the videos.
