Gary Breecher, better know as The War Nerd, "Saddam Died Beautiful: A Special Eulogy":

"Blaming Saddam for being what he was is like blaming a rattlesnake for killing. That's how it lives, and it's what that Crocodile Hunter guy would've called "a bee-YOO-tiful ambush predator." Saddam was right for Iraq the way a Sidewinder is right for the Mojave. The NeoCons scared us by shaking his fangs in our faces, as if Saddam planned to bite every single commuter in LA, when all he wanted to do was stay alive and in power -- because those were the same thing for him -- in the Iraqi desert, where everything stings, sticks or bites. We may as well have gone on a crusade to wipe out all the snakes and spiders in the desert for being what they are. Only difference is, we wouldn't have lost 3000 soldiers that way."

Saddam was a rat-fuck bastard of the lowest order, but the world ISN'T a better place now that he's gone. In fact, for the amount of chaos his removal has sown, he might as well have been named Franz Ferdinand

It's actually an old sift as well. The last living submission is here:

Sometimes I forget just how fucking hilarious Norm is, and then I go on another Norm binge on YouTube. This and his bit about the Crocodile Hunter on The Daily Show are my favorite things ever.

Got me by 42 minutes... LOL... Australia used to be very high on my list of places to live when I was a kid (loved Koalas and Kangaroos)... until Crocodile Hunter taught me that every single deadly creature in the world (insects, snakes, spiders...) seem to live there... still not high on the list due to censorship issues regarding games and movies... in the end it became more and more New Zealand as the place to go if I was to move down south... and then the LotR movies came out and that solidified NZ... still the impossibility of moving out of the US makes that an impossible dream...

They probably have brain damage now from not being able to breathe for the first 5 minutes of their life. The mother is probably going to die now swimming around with a fish hook and piece of string in her mouth.


I say good, we don't want anymore of our Crocodile Hunters getting killed horribly. I say fill their habitats with oil!

It went dead back in the days when going dead meant being discarded if not fixed, rather than to the dead pool. I'm hesitant but leaning towards calling this a dupe and resurrecting the old one. It's not a dupe in "the letter of the law" but I think it's the way it ought to be handled.

I'm pretty sure I've seen it here before, but I can't find it.

I thought so too. It was actually after I went searching the sift for this video and could not find it that I figured I might as well add it then.

Don't forget the tags!
"Stingray Fish Nature Pets Wild Sea Tropic Crocodile Hunter Steve Irvin Killer" have been changed to "Steve Irvins Killers have been BANED"

Look, regardless of your view on Reagan shooting, JFK assaination, etc. and whether or not real-world violence should be banned from sift...

Saddam hanging and dead Crocodile Hunters, are just sensational tabloidism. Wait a year and then decide if it is historical.

Anyways, what about all the unmanned air combat vehicle videos and military porn showing people being blown up and shot with missles, 50cal, etc. Those humans are still humans. Is someone going to scrub all those videos?

So I could care less about what is snuffy and what is historic.

Saddam is clearly on the same level as Paris Hilton sex video. Just stupid Fox-news level sensationalism.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Funny, yeah - but this wouldn't play here in Queensland. There are Crocodile Hunter RIP T-shirts for sale everywhere around here.

So good. Too soon, too soon . . .ah hell, it is time for some Crocodile Hunter material.

A ten minutes news footage from Australia regarding Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter who was killed on 4 September 2006. It also shows Steve Irwin's past encounters as a memorial tribute.
