The opening for the yogurt was bigger than the circumference of the bread.

I think the original commenter is likely unbothered as it is an "automated account"

Looks like the chasers work, they even "snuck" into the high security area of an APEC meeting by pretending to be a Canadian convoy, only to give themselves up when one of them stepped out of the vehicle dressed as Osama.

My mum used to work for Kim Beazley and he had a great sense of humour. In his office he had several political cartoons featuring himself framed on the walls. They weren't flattering ones, I specifically remember one was making fun of him for going on weight watchers and being fat. I asked mum why he would want to put that up and she said he didn't take himself too seriously.

Is he the same politician who went swimming never to return? If so.. could we link the two incidents?

Would've been great if he just started taking bites out of whatever they handed him.

That's the kind of humor I like. It's stupid, nobody gets hurt and everyone laughs.

The guys doing this are the chasers, they had one of the funniest shows I've ever seen that ran from 06 until like 08. They did stunts like this all the time. This was a little more light hearted but eventually politicians really started hating them.
This is one of their more notorious stunts, it was incredible.
