Now that's a crock


First, may God rest Steve Irwin's soul and be with his family during this incredibly difficult time.

Quotes I've heard in the media today include what a great family man Irwin was.

I don't doubt that, but he was also a sensationalist attention seeker, who did things to provoke dangerous animals. You'd think that a guy who really WAS a great family man would do more to preserve his family circle.

It's a very sad story... and I do respect the work he did to help bring a focus on the animal kingdom.

But you can't say he didn't have it coming.

Gack! What a way to go -- some manta stabs you in the heart when all you wanted to do was get a little kiss....

Awww. It's always sad when someone die. I am sorry for his family.

He certainly did a lot of stupid stuff. I figured he would get bit by a snake and die.

I was sad to hear he had died...he was fun to watch. At least he was doing something he loved when it happened.

I just can't believe it wasn't a snake or a croc.

my kids loved to watch the Croc Hunter.

What are the chances anyways? I heard he's only second person to die from a Stingray in 60 years.

Sorry Dave... dildo.

You play with the bull.. you get the horns.

No crying on this end of Nowhereville?!

Really really sad.
I watched him all the time.
God rest his soul.

steve irwin seems to be much more highly thought of overseas than at home. I live an hour's drive from his zoo... its ok... most of my peers were always a bit embarrassed by him... we are honestly not like that here.. I've never said "crikey" in all of my 43 years.
