Time to pull a drive-by on some muthafuckin stingrays...

RIP

Sad to hear that he died, sympathy to his family and lil ones...may he rest in peace, I know the crocs will now.

I seriously thought it was a sick joke when I heard it :(

Damnit. Now there's a void in the wildlife nutbags we can make fun of.

Maybe he was nuts, but he seriously cared about those animals.

You can think he's an idiot or not, but at least show some respect, you sad sack of shit. Oh, by the way, I hope your kid gets raped by a Mexican.

I don't know what I ever did to you infalte.

A poorly done photoshop of a dead "celebrity" gets met with a personal attack not against me, but against my 4 year old child. Classy.

In all seriousness though the world lost a true friend to the animals. He will always be the real Aquaman to me.

Yeah, I'm just as classy as the asshole who makes fun of a recently-deceased person in an obvious tribute thread. That's troll behavior. If you can't think of why something like that would piss me off, you're a bit thick.

Insult gauge:

I didn't realize it was this important to you and I apologize. I never knew he was that beloved, I thought he was just a guy that fed his kid to crocodiles and stuff.

I thought he was just a fringe celebrity with a television show. I apologize for my ignorance.

Apparently he's getting a state funeral.

He's the 2nd person in Australian history to die by stingray.

If I were going to use Steve Irwin in a photoshop, it would be a "don't try this at home" poster. I mean really, don't try this at home.

I hope that doesn't mean my kids deserve to get raped.

... and also it is a real shame to see him gone. His energy during his shows made them educationally amusing.

*salutes*

this is the first i've heard of it. a fucking stingray?!
i for one will miss that crazy bastard. in tribute to him i will rape a small stingray tonight.

sorry, crabby. I overreacted earlier. I think you're an ass, but I shouldn't of brought your child into it. I just wanted to piss you off like you had pissed me off and that was the quickest way I knew how to do it.

I'm also pissed cuz my car got side-swiped today. Gonna cost thousands, and insurance won't cover all of it. So that plus the Croc-hunter's untimely demise sorta explains my foul mood.

I saw two people get stung by jellyfish at the beach today. It made me think of this comic...

I very much like(d) the Croc Hunter, but crabby's photoshop was funny as hell.

And, Inflate, you went too far. Besides, CHUBBY already broke ground on that development. Sorry about your car.

I felt sorry for his family even before he died

Steve was one of the good guys. It was a tragic, if freakish, accident, and the world needs more people like him.

I think he'd be cool with a bit of gentle parody, besides it making him an absolute legend, it also highlights all the environmental work he has done, and makes people realise there's a world out there beyond their back yard.

Rest in peace Mr Irwin, you will be missed.

Well thats the serious bit out the way, in other news, next years movie sequel has sadly had to be canned...

Sucks whenever anyone with a good heart dies.

But this is a horrific example of what irony really means. One would have expected Steve Irwin's death to have been at the teeth of a crocodile or the fangs of a deadly snake. Those expectations have been turned on their heads and now we find him dying by a most unlikely creature. It ain't funny, and real irony rarely is.

But on the lighter side, he died doing what he loved, his kids will be taken care of, he left an impact on the world and changed things for the better with his time here. His name won't be forgotten.

Now, before I say this, let me get it out there. I feel deeply sorry for his family and close friends. I can't imagine what they're going through.

BUT...

I didn't, don't, and NEVER WILL like that guy. I think he was a scamartist and a fake who had the wool pulled over everyone's eyes and only did crazy shit for money and fame.

But that's just me. And he shouldn't have died. Even though he was a scam, he DID do some alright things, and its not OK for anyone to die so tragically and horribly.

I think it would have been funny if he died in a silly way like tripping down a set of stairs and impaling himself on the point of a pair of faux alligator shoes or something like that.....
or maybe it's just me

Yes, it's sad he died. Yes, he will be missed. But if anybody didn't believe that he'd be killed by some kind of animal at some point then they've been living under a rock.

Taking your one month old baby that close to a bloody croc rates with Michael Jackson dangling his kid over some balcony..both stupid acts that gave them publicity for the wrong reasons.

Okay, a warning to most of you... skip over this if you're not in the mood for a sanctimonious rant... but I'm on a lot of ritalin and it's making me write a lot.

I liked him cuz he was a character. A seriously unique guy. There's so many boring celebrities out there, but Steve Irwin was an original. Yeah he was looney tunes, but that's why I liked him! His shows were a blast to watch and he was doing it to bring awareness to animal conservation. He spent millions buying up large swaths of land in Australia, Fiji, the US and other areas purely for preservation purposes. Saying he was a "scam-artist" is pretty stupid. What kinda scam-artist spends his whole life from the age of 9 learning how to approach and handle dangerous creatures that could kill him in an instant and do it with zeal and passion? Or start up foundations and give much of his fortune to wild-life charities?

Plus, it seems like the cool thing to do on the internet these days is just to shit-talk or make retarded YTMND-esque photoshops of whoever's the latest celebrity to bite it. (Fuck, forget celebrities... 9/11 victims aren't off-limits) Someone may have had no previous opinion on the guy and they'll just jump on the bandwagon hoping to come up with the next clever "pwnd! u dead nigga lol!!1" photo. Really mature. If I wasn't so addicted to the fucking internet, I would hate it so much. I mean it really brings out the worst in otherwise respectful people, and I'm not referring to anyone here specifically, but shit like the Yahoo boards, IMDB boards, YTMND that kinda stuff... because they realize there's no consequence to what they say or what they do. When you have nobody to answer to, all your inhibitions go out the window and you can be the most insensitive piece of shit you want. I agree with Ted Stevens. Goddamn series of tubes is corrupting America...

Alright this will be my last word on this, and it's not a reply to anyone in particular. I fully realize this comes off as preachy, sanctimonious and yes, hypocritical, cuz I too am guilty of doing off-color shit that outside the realm of the internet would be seen as tasteless. I've said shit here, including in this thread about crabby's kid that I would NEVER in a million years say to anyone in public. It's like there's two extremes out there... one is the pussy-factor on TV, especially the news, where people are afraid to call anyone out due to rampant political correctness, corporate bias or just the fucking FCC... and the other extreme is the asshole-factor on the internet where I'll run across pricks photoshopping dead people on the very day they died. There's gotta be some common ground. Unfortunately I think the comforting anonymity of that monitor you're staring at right now means you'll never find it.

I wonder if anyone ever died getting bonked on the head by a wad of frozen poo flushed from a jet liner.

George in Dead Like Me got killed by a falling toilet seat from the space station. That's the closest I know of.

Yeah well his "training" did him no good against a stingray attack, did it? I know enough about crocs to know that it is insane to take a one-month old baby that close..it's negligent to the max! Anyway I'm done on this topic, Steve's gone and God's peace to him, his baby's safe and so are the crocs of Australia, until the next "hunter" comes along to play hero.

I heard somewhere Paul Hogan, (Crocodile Dundee) was quoted as saying "Jiminy...I'm the famous Aussie again! Foster's Lager on me!"

I wonder if anyone has ever died having a heart attack while playing Pac Man.
