The first edition
We will mail you a first edition of The Chaser Quarterly (Spring 2015). This lovingly printed 100 page, full colour B5 volume is a perfect gift, a wonderful addition to your coffee table and/or toilet, and also something you might want to even read at some point, if you get around to it, after you've checked your Facebook feed on your smartphone.
Father's Day Special
Give something truly special to that person who doesn't tidy up around the house as much as they should. Select this reward before 5pm on Father's Day and you'll get: - A personalised "The Chaser's Certificate of Fatherhood" emailed to you in time to print out for Father's Day - Special 8-page report PDF "The Chaser's Guide to Having a Baby" also emailed to you to print out. - The first edition of The Chaser Quarterly mailed to your special(-ish) man, when it comes out.
Signed first edition
Want something that you can show to your grandkids, and be able to say, "See, I was there when The Chaser went back into print, even though it was 2015." Well, this is the choice for you. You get a copy of The Chaser Quarterly, signed by all the members of The Chaser team. The perfect gift for someone who enjoys books that have been defaced.
Aussie Pride Subscription
Do you like booing at footy matches but only at black players, but not because you're racist? Do you think boat people shouldn't jump the queue, unless they can afford a $19,000 processing fee? Do you think that Aborigines should go back to where they came from? Well the Aussie Pride Membership is specially designed to take your money from you! You get an annual subscription, PLUS a personalised "Green and Gold" Membership Card. Hurry, only available to the first 22 million Australians!
Back issue of The Chaser
Select this option, and we'll send you a first edition of The Chaser Quarterly, as well as a random back issue of the newspaper, some of which weren't too bad. For lovers of vintage satire. Pledge more than $150, and we'll give you a list of available editions, and you can choose which one you want (completely subject to availability -- not every edition is available).
Your name in print
We will send you the first edition of The Chaser Quarterly, and print your name in it, thanking you for making it happen, but also pointing out that you didn't contribute quite as much as the Platinum Members. Thanks. No, really.
Platinum Membership
Be the envy of your friends! You get the next four editions of The Chaser Quarterly delivered to your door, plus a special LIMITED EDITION platinum membership card to flash around whenever you're feeling lonely or unpopular. PLUS, we will list your name in the publication acknowledging your role as a platinum member, and send you a personally signed letter of apology from The Chaser. Plus, we promise to remove your personal details from our database, before we sell it to unscrupulous marketers.
Rare - 1st Chaser Annual
One only. Signed copy of the extremely-appropriately-named "Little-Read Book", which was the first Chaser Annual, printed way back in 2000. Featuring topical news satire that was hilarious when it was printed 15 years ago. Includes a special section on the Sydney 2000 Olympics (remember them?) A bit worn, thanks to the passage of time. Perfect gift for anyone who likes out of date jokes.
Rare - 1st edition
3 only. For the connoisseur of satire with a refined taste for maderised vintages. Not so much for reading, as for admiring from afar, and pondering "How the hell did they not give up immediately?" Includes the classic headline "Kremlin Denies Health Concerns At Yeltsin Funeral". Any resemblance to a student newspaper is purely coincidental. (This item is almost certainly not worth the price, and buying one should be considered an act of pure charity, for which we will be eternally grateful.)
Your Idea in Print
Okay, so this reward isn't for everyone. This is only for extra talented people, who have great skill, wit and creativity. If you choose this, you're almost certainly very good looking. Anyway, if you choose this, you can send us an idea (or entire article) for The Chaser Quarterly, and we will help you write/edit it into a piece for The Chaser Quarterly, and then lay it up. (Note: This does not guarantee it a place in the publication... but if it's good enough, who knows?)
Full page ad
That's right, you can run a full page ad in The Chaser Quarterly, which will have an initial print run of 6000 copies, distributed in newsagents throughout Australia. (Please note, that The Chaser is only accepting ads that can allow us to accept your filthy lucre while appearing to retain a shred of integrity. Therefore, your ad must adhere to our Advertising Guidelines. In particular, "your ad must fundamentally undermine the product it is seeking to sell").
A Day At The Office
You and five friends or colleagues can spend a day hanging out in the offices of The Chaser Quarterly. We'll work out something to make it interesting. If it's a Friday, we'll even treat you to a long lunch with whoever is around. Hopefully there'll be a visiting dignitary in town. (Note: Bail is not included.)
The Singo
Back in the halcyon days of The Chaser, back in our salad days, when we were green of judgement, we wrote a cheeky letter to John Singleton asking for money from him. In return, he cut us a cheque for $10k. Great times. Do you want to become a Singo to The Chaser Quarterly? All it takes is a measly $10k, and you'll be credited, in perpetuity, as a Singo: the highest honour an Australian can achieve. (Note: in order to place this order, you must be utterly drunk).
"Firth in the USA" shoot
Be flown to the USA to join Charles Firth and crew on the shoot of a "Firth in the USA" Republican primaries special in October 2015. Price includes return airfares ex Sydney, and four nights accommodation in the US (but not food and beer).
