So wrong.

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

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

I saw this last night. Steve would have laughed too.

I was in his home town of Beerwah when he died dag, it was crazy the amount of public mourning going on.
Would have been a lynch mob if you said this stuff out loud.

The whole situation seems so Australian. I never heard a good word about Steve Irwin from an Australian before he died. "A joke", "an embarrassment" "an idiot" were the terms used to describe him. Now the holy trinity has been expanded to a quadrilateral.

Fertilizer is only applied to tall poppies here, after they have been squashed.

oh it IS too soon...This is funny. Irwin would have thought this was funny too if he wasn't so dead. *neutral vote

really Dag? From over here one would think you guys all have a picture of the guy on your living room walls.

He was much more popular in the US than Australia (when living).

I think people thought he was putting on the "Outback Aussie" schtick a bit thickly.

Yeah, I thought the same thing...everyone thought he was annoying in life and a hero in death. People are mutilating stingrays over there. So sad.

The most interesting thing is the power of the media. They can vilify or promote to godhood anyone they desire. The fact remains that he didn't take precautions...but the media cried for more so he kept delivering.

well, I liked the guy.


When did he start in the US, 96? I enjoyed his enthusiasm.

yeah it is very easy to jump on the bandwagon for that one.
I never watched his shows but somehow always admired his passion, regardless of how cheesy it seemed.
still, i'm not a big fan of(germaine greer) saying malicious things about someone who is too dead to defend themselves, but jokes are fine in my books

Yeah, I liked him too. He did lay it on thick, but that was part of the show. Germaine Greer is not safe on the streets now.

Let me hear that again: "Irwin would have thought this was funny too... if he wasn't so dead."

That's as funny as anything Norm said!

Norm was not very good on SNL, but he's always funny as a guest on talk shows. He should just stick to that.

OMG! I was crying at this! Please don't get me wrong, I have the greatest respect for Steve Irwin but I was like Jon and couldn't control myself. It's almost like watching an accident on the freeway.

Norm MacDonald is funny sumbitch, I don't care who y'are

That made me laugh my ass off. Humour is always ok in my book.....

OMG, I love the "Seat of Heart" segment - Condi and Peter McKay - I love the fact that TDS covered it!

I recall the huge public tearfest when Kurt Cobain offed himself. people who didn't care about nirvana were suddenly mourning like crazy.
