[edit] A Real Person?

Andrew Hansen's character in CNNNN was called "Simon Target". Does Simon Target actually exist, or is this just a pseudonym for Andrew? Compare the photo on the following page:

There is a real Simon Target, whose career stretches back at least a decade before the founding of The Chaser. (There's a picture of him at the top of this page: http://www.abc.net.au/documentaries/adfa/behind/simon.htm)

I am not sufficiently familiar with CNNNN to say for sure, but I suspect that Hansen's Simon Target is a parody of the real one. --Paul A 00:25, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Even better photo - this (linked to from Wikipedia's own Andrew Hansen article) shows the two of them in the same place at the same time: http://www.greenleft.org.au/1997/296/15583 --Paul A 00:36, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
