The Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin dead at 44

I don't think anyone here finds September 11 hilarious to joke about (although people love to speculate that it was staged etc.). I'd like too see how many names of the people that died they knew if they were joking about it though.

Nah, people on here do think it's funny, just ask Cletus and co about what they get up to on Live.

I'm not sure if they think it's funny (I don't think it is), I just know the reaction it gets is funny.

And what's the difference? You're using it to get a laugh regardless.

to me it has nothing to do with the topic, I just like hearing amaricans cry, and that's the best way to get a reaction.
the majority of amaricans in games like halo2 are jerks, they are just getting a little payback.

Didn't your mum tell you two wrongs don't make a right Jizz?

steve irwin would have probably helped the world more than any of those 2,900 odd people would have.

well you basically said making croc hunter jokes is ok because people make 9/11 jokes!

The people who were killed on 9/11 didn't wrestle terrorists.

And Steve Irwin wasn't killed by his government.

Yeah I know what you mean mech, and I know its low. Sometimes there's no better way than to shut some little shit up who keeps calling you a "faggot gay nigger" with every single breath. I dont like joking about 9/11, but I do like making these idiots shut the fuck up.

OK, so who saw the computer animated re-enactment of Steve's death on the Channel Seven 'tribute'? I think it's set a new benchmark for tasteless and pointless news graphics.

That's pretty broad stroke,Mech.

You know as well as everyone else who voted in the poll what the AlqaidaAirlines gamertag was designed to do.If you need reminding,it was to piss off american gamers on LIVE.It's not poking fun at the event itself,but at America and yes,it's as tasteless as things get.It's supposed to be.

I still use the tag proudly.

EDIT: Funny isn't in the name so much as the reaction it gets.

I'll never understand why it's ok to be racist against Americans?

Then again, I have no problems with Cletus's gamertag (which is funny), or Steve Irwin jokes.

Just call me twiztid.

Something to do with counter-culture. America being powerful and whatnot, and invading the rest of the world culturally, and people protecting their something or others.

FEMINIST Germaine Greer should keep her thoughts about the death of Steve Irwin to herself, Labor foreign affairs spokesman Kevin Rudd said today.

In an article in British newspaper The Guardian, Ms Greer said that the animal world had finally taken revenge on Irwin for causing stress to the animals he handled.

"I think Germaine Greer should just stick a sock in it," Mr Rudd said in Canberra today.

"You have got a grieving mother, you have got a couple of grieving young kids and a grieving nation and what to you get from Germaine Greer? You get a bucket load of politically correct pap – it's just nonsense.

"Steve Irwin was a nature conservationist, an animal conservationist and made a huge contribution to the preservation of wildlife worldwide.

"And what do we get from Germaine Greer? - some gratuitous, politically correct claptrap. She should put a sock in it," he said.

Greer said she had "not much sympathy" for Irwin if he was grappling with the stingray that killed him on the Great Barrier Reef.

Those on the boot with Irwin say he was not in any way harassing the stringray when it lashed out at him as he swan over it.

But The Guardian quoted Greer as saying: "As a Melbourne boy, Irwin should have had a healthy respect for stingrays, which are actually commoner and bigger in southern waters than they are near Port Douglas."

She described Irwin's behaviour as "bizarre", noting the famed incident when he held his baby son while feeding a crocodile during a show at his Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast.

"The whole spectacle was revolting," Greer said.

"The crocodile would rather have been anywhere else and the chicken had a grim life too, but that's entertainment at Australia Zoo.

"The animal world has finally taken its revenge on Irwin, but probably not before a whole generation of kids in shorts seven sizes too small has learned to shout in the ears of animals with hearing ten times more acute than theirs, determined to become millionaire animal-loving zoo-owners in their turn."

Police yesterday said footage of the incident showed Irwin in no way harassed or provoked the stingray.

Someone needs to tell that slut to put her hands down her pants, and when she realises she has no penis she should GET THE FUCK BACK IN THE KITCHEN WHERE SHE BELONGS.

What time frame are you guys looking at for a mourning period.I give any celebrity (even those I adore) about 12 seconds before you can make light of it.
Comedians will usually wait a week.

There were 1/2 a doz jokes circulating England within 24hrs of the news. Thing was, I was being told these jokes and I didnt get them, because I hadnt heard about his death the day before. One extract I saw from an article that was on the front page of the Guardian said 'The Animals get their Revenge'. Wasnt sure what to make of that.

**EFB**
Didnt see the post above on the same Guardian article.

One thing is a lot of the world do see him in the light that he was portrayed in the southpark sketch. A crazed man who enjoys jamming his thumb up an animal's butt to get it really pissed off.

Hence why people are making the animal revenge jokes / comments.

Spot what's wrong with that sentence...

That's right, Americans aren't a race unto their own!

And that justifys racism?

I agree Unfunk, but if I just said "I'll never understand why it's ok to be racist?", the point would be missed in the growing trend of blind A-OK Anti-American racism.
Peoples hypocrisy and ignorance will never justify their attempted political correctness.

'American' isnt a race. Hell, America isn't even a country.
