“Animal World Takes Revenge”

Celebs and Media

Germaine Greer cheers as Australia mourns. I somewhat side with Ms Geer, I never liked Steve Irwin’s “in your maw” style of animal presentation.

But that is one sorry way to go.

I’m no expert on stingrays, but I did witness all manner of provocation while diving at “Stingray City” with 200++ other people on a sand barge off the Cayman Islands. I suspect the ‘rays there were tamed to being fed and handled and even stepped on by chubby tourists, as opposed to out in the open Great Barrier Reef. Plus it sounds like the stingray’s hit was a fluke.

    verse
    Goodbye Aussie Nut
    You had big fucking balls of brass
    Riding ’round in a boat
    And crocodiles nearly bit your ass

    chorus
    And it seems to me you lived your life
    Like a fucking psychopath
    Never knowing who to cling to
    When the ray set in
    And I would have liked to have known you
    It would have been a thrill
    Your candle burned out long before
    Syndication ever will

    Ta Da!

    Did you hear that Elton John is recording a tribute song for Steve Irwin – so far it’s been narrowed down to a remake of “Crocodile Rock” or “Don’t go Breaking my Heart”.

    Any guess as to how long until the footage of him getting “attacked” comes out on some show like “When Usually Benign Animals Attack and Kill”?

    yikes, everyone’s a comedian…Yeah, I like the darker haired Kratt brother(Chris)…but the lighter haired one(Martin) has the nicer butt, lol. Death always comes too soon save for the ones that truly do not need to be here…rapists, child molestors, bad politicians(my own president included in that batch) and crappy drivers on Ontario higways….the list goes on.

    You’ve gone too far Evil Panda.
    I just can’t believe that you would be so cold and unfeeling as to make a comment like that at a time like this. My heart just bleeds for his family . . .

    What’s the last thing Steve Irwin said to his wife?

    “See ya, honey! You feed the kids, I’ll feed the fish!”

    too soon?

    I’ve never been a big fan of Steve Irwin (especially after that “Jacksonesque” stunt with his month-old son a couple of years ago), but death is a fairly harsh sentence. (Mind being stabbed in the heart by a Sting-Ray is a pretty cool way to go – much more media friendy than keeling over with a heart-attack while sitting on the shitter!)

    As for the “eye-candy” aspect, I have to admit that I’ve always preferred the Kratt brothers – plus you could always rely on their camera man for at least one gratuitous, “up the shorts” shot per episode…

    Having caught Steve Irwin out of the corner of my eye one day 10 years ago channel surfing and then becoming an avid fan of his tight shorts(woof) and great accent, I never really considered the animal’s part in all of his showmanship. I was drawn in by his personality and my zeal for nice butts, and the Australian accent has always been a fav of mine. But I would have to say to the woman that wrote that article, get a life. I wonder if she considers the animals she eats?
