clipped from: www.abc.net.au There has been a mixed response to the ABC's two-week suspension of comedy team The Chaser.
The ABC has been flooded with complaints after The Chaser's War on Everything ran a skit satirising the Make-A-Wish Foundation on Wednesday night.
The public broadcaster has responded to public pressure, taking the show off air until June 24.
Some fans are using microblog Twitter to express their outrage, labelling the move "complete insanity".
ABC managing director Mark Scott says editorial policies for the program will be reviewed during that time and the Chaser team will also have a chance to review their material.
"I am actually surprised that such content went to air, whilst there is management with academic sense. And I hear now a comment has been, that the scene has been misinterpreted. I think that is an complete insult on the intelligence of the viewing public."
