Satire

Chaser Launches Book

In the great tradition of repackaging old material to cash in on Christmas, the team from The Chaser & Silly 2000 has produced its first book.

t's called The Little-Read Book - The Chaser Annual 2000 and it's compendium of The Chaser and Silly 2000 that excludes all the worst stuff we've written since May 1999. Ok, most of it.

It also has all next year's satire written in advance and an exclusive set of conversation checklists to help you sound intelligent in the year 2001.

And there's a foreward by John Clarke from The Games.

It's really good - but don't believe us, believe these people we invented ...

"It's great - I laughed almost as much as when that Aussie walker got disqualified in the Games". - John, Wagga Wagga.

"I bought one for myself and copies for all my friends too - all my Christmas shopping done in one hit. It was so easy - thanks Chaser". - Alison, Tempe.

... and all for only $16.95 (+ postage and handling) in those piddling little Australian dollars ... it's an ideal gift for Christmas.
