oh I dunno, our office quite liked it.

Mark, Saddo is correct, just realised it looks nasty at that size :-\

chill out - when does it become funny ? In a week or so ?

You should know these things always follow the death of a celebrity

Was just sharing it

Just, 'why?' on the dogs face.

poor batard was killed by some shit that he probably never even noticed...

that some crazy shit right there


one day whan i wasnt all that right in the head, i was going through withdrawl or something, i had to just lay down and watch TV to keep from going insane, so i put on TV, the room i was in had no cable, and a crocidile hunter movie came oin eventually, i never even knew that the guy made movies...


anyway, there is a scene where he is standing on a boat (and i think this was for real) he sees some al;igator or corcidile in the water and he says some shit like 'in the water is where they have the advantage' then the motherfucker jumps off the boat and grabs the fucking thing, and somehow managed to get it on his boat and tie it up

i can see how he wouldnt fear a stingray, i almost copped one for 60$ a few years back

I agree TOne.

I really liked him.
I think we all knew it was a matter of time before this happened though.
It just wouldn't be right for him to die in a "slipping & falling in the shower" mishhap.
He pushed the envelope without a hint of fear, while knowing & respecting the characteristics of the creatures.
As the article said, it is highly unlikely to be stung by a stingray, let alone fatal.
The poisonous barb hit him under the rib cage & directly into his heart.

I hope it was intant & didn't hurt.

RIP Steve Irwin.

The man was a legend... so passionate about what he did and I guess in small a way, he would have been happy he died doing what he loved... even if it was painful. :-\

RIP Steve Irwin.

I am sorry that the guy died, and he opened up the world of naturalism to many people - especially with his exuberance and sense of excitement.

That said, I always thought he was a bit if an 'animal botherer' and got to close, interfering with them and stuff. As a scuba diver, you should always know not to get too close to a stingray, and maybe he pushed that envelope too far?

.

It's crazy that an animal that is probably the least deadly that hes encountered is the one who kills him. :-\


R.I.P.
Steve Irwin

Not cool X... ::** :-\

ok, not cool

but lets face it these things are going to surface sooner or later and there have been many things like it on the forum in the past.

i have to admit i was watching Irwin on Saturday as i lay in bed suffering from a hangover and actually thought what a cocky git he was when he laps away from the crocodile at the last minute and how I wouldn't have any sympathy for him if one got him one day.

But I was stunned as the rest of you by the news this morning.

I apologize if offended anyone

Mphfff ........ tee hee hee :laugh:

The great thing about being in a democracy is that people should not have the right to be offended.

I don't really care if I offend people too much - hypersensitivity to perceived insults is part of the reason why the world in in such a state.

I would like to think that Steve Irwin, having a robust Aussie sense of homour, would find these quite funny too.

Well of course he would... if he could he wouldn't be dad would he? :P

More his family...

think it hits home hardest as he was loved by everyone

will be missed and he put the fun back into animal studys

i learnt more from watching him than i did from school

i dunno how i feel about this one man... i feel like
In all fairness he had it coming and he knew the risks he took to entertain, but yet many people live dangerous lives and live them till the end, it was just somethings will to end his life early and i feel like peoples attention should sway to comiserate his family and i know they understand like we should do and he did that if he died doing his thing that it would be worth it because its what he loved to do and it entertained millions.

a lad i know put out a bulletin on myspace all like "good riddance he was a stupid idiot and people should have expected him to get killed in his proffession fuck him"

i told him he was a heartless cunt and he was a human bieng regardless of his career path, and to stop acting like a fool to try and say he had it coming.
best wishes to his family i guess :-\

on a lighter note though! ;)

Yeah but come on... by a sting ray... he was more likely to get hit crossing the road or something... he is only the 2nd person to have died from a sting ray sting.

He was knowledgeable of how these Animals behaved etc... he was a lot less likely to get killed then if you or me randomly walked up to an alligator or something... was raised in a zoo (shut it :P) all his life... his dad owned one.

sorry mate if i came abit strong in my other post, it was just a shock to me that's all...
I really liked the guy

More interesting to me is how we all react differently to death./humor/sadness/and every mixture in between ,whatever, it doesnt matter its only timing.

At the end of the day life is but an ocean,
we are all in the same boat and non of us are getting out of here alive :) .

Steve Erwin was exuberance = great life.

Have fun, he did, no regrets.

Really too bad. It almost seems sureal to me, like any minute there'll be news that he's ok.

He died doing what he loved. Like someone said, you had to expect this sooner later, yet now we're shocked that it did. A good person taken too soon.

RIP Steve. Prayers out for the faimly.

thank you for defending no holds barred humor with such big words

keep it up :thumb:

people have the right to be offended as much as those who choose to offend willingly or not. We have comments about other deaths, guess this is different as we all seem to agree that he came over as a decent guy, dunno.

Play on.

Dude thats not fucking cool. Most aussies over here are pretty devestated by this. One cruel joke has been said "Irwin should of worn sunscreen to protect himself from harmful rays"...thats fucked and this was made only 8 hours or so after he died. Sorry but he may be a celeb but he deserves his respect and he will be missed.

Rest In Peace Steve

why is he any different than that dosey bint Diana, or the london bomb victims or the tsunami victims or the space shuttle crew? they all get ripped in to.

thats what I was saying ;)

Why is Diana in with those lot Missy? The Royal Slut famous for sleeping around outside of Marriage... which ultimatly lead to her and her arse hole boyfreind running away from the Papparatzi... and we all know the rest.

I don't think I have ever heard any one make fun of the Londom bomb victims...

I notced this at the time - think 9/11 and 7/7 victims were exceptions when it came to jokes as people were that horrified by events. Ok the tsunami and other events were far more disastrous in terms of loss but the fact that these were murders of such a large scale seemed to numb the world. It also affected the US and UK directly where I think most of these 'jokes' originate.

But you name it when celebrities die and disasters happen jokes such as this emerge - space shuttle, Ayrton Senna, Freedie Mercury, New Orleans, Di & Dodi, Maurice Gibb, Rod Hull ( ;)) etc etc etc

Guess we should flag future such posts up ::**

Basically its because we 'know' Steve Irwin a lot more than we did any one from 7/7 or the tsunami

You know one of the most empowering things you can do if your faced with a life threatening situation or a disease that is taking you away from existance is to find humor in it.
I think its natural and it gives you some much needed space mentaly to be able to deal with it.

Holy shit seriously? Gotdamn. And by a sting ray? Thats fucked up. You know, this guy wrestles alligators, stampedes with elephants and grabs cobras yet a fucken sting ray got him? I fucks with sting rays at the little wade pool pettng zoos and that's what killed him? Thats the most anticlimactic death ever.

But seriously, I used to watch his show when I was terribly bored, bout the only animal planet show I could watch. R.I.P.

she's there because she's a celeb and lots of people thought she did good work, I thought the same as you. ;)

I've heard jokes about them, the same as that falklands vet. You want me to go find some?

:o

It's up to you... ;)

And Diana didn't do shit that some one with loads of money and no responsibilities would do... was all spin if you ask me, which most people wouldn't/shouldn't.

Steve was an ordinary bloke, he was down to earth. I know people who met him and they said he was just normal. Not a celeb, just an every day aussie. And on those grounds his dad has rejected a state funeral coz he would never of wanted it. RIP steve and man you will be missed. A great aussie and a great man.
