NEWSFLASH: Steve Irwin Dead!!!

[mightytiges]

They were debating today whether the doco including Irwin's final moments would be shown. Don't understand why anyone would want to watch someone else getting killed  ???.

Furious to read what Germaine Greer wrote about the death of Steve Irwin.  How can she even call herself an Australian when she's spent most of her life living in the UK?  One lousy book and she thinks she's God!!  I especially took to her comment that because Steve was born in Melbourne he should have known better about stingrays as they are apparently more common and larger in the southern States.  Well I lived in Melbourne for 23 years and I never saw one stingray.  And I would think that Steve Irwin knew a lot more about them than some ageing hippy.  She reckons Steve tortured the animals on his show and in the end the animal kingdom got its revenge.  Did she really watch any of the shows?  I've seen him handle the some of the most poisonous snakes in the world and see how they relax in his hands.  People all around the world are mouring the death of Steve Irwin.  How many will mourn the death of Germaine Greer?  More likely to be a case of Germaine who?  Sure I understand that some people might not have liked him but now is not the time to air these views.

She is one disturbed individual and seems to be getting worse with age. I remember seeing her interviewed by Andrew Denton (last year?) and she said she only liked boys not men and that every male was a potential rapist  . I don't know why the media even bother reporting her opinions anymore.

Give a person an inch and they take a mile - we've seen this megalomania before 
Some of these celebs - and I use the term loosely - think they're God's gift to humanity
stuff her - she brings her breed into disrepute lol

Greer is just an old fool that the media goes to for a "rent a quote". Maybe should spend more time focusing on platting her minge. (Her cat's name is minge  )

How about Naomi Robsons form on location wearing Khaki with a lizard on her shoulder. That's just crass 

[julzqld]

We laughed our heads off at that.  She looks very nervous with that lizard perched there.  C'mon Naomi - not all of us were born yesterday.

Big girls that I am, I cried buckets watching the memorial service.  Signed up to sponsor one of the cheetahs at Australia Zoo (we already sponsor Manas - one of the Bengal tigers) and made a donation to the tiger conservation program through Wildlife Warriors.

Thought Bindi Irwin's speech was exceptional.

His ginge manager comes across as a bit of a loser. I don't know why he has to keep telling us he was Steve's best mate when he was not seems a bit selfish really.

Didnt watch it -  what for?

Thought Bindi Irwin's speech was exceptional.

Yeah, she did well 
Was never a fan, but he certainly impacted on a lot of lives.
I'd never heard of him until we had 2 Canadian boys come and stay with us in the late '90s, and they kept on talking about this Crocodile Hunter, and was amazed I'd never heard of him.  He was huge overseas way back then.
Never expected this huge public reaction.  Hopefully, the loss of him will leave a legacy to the betterment of our environment and wildlife

One courageous little girl  . A lot of pressure on the shoulders of the 8 year old too to keep the Zoo going.

I didn't know the bloke and I wasn't a huge fan, but I cried during the memorial service.
Bindi is a brave little girl, I would never be able to do what she did

What P1sses me off is the media now turning it into a circus.

His manager/best mate is starting to pee me off lol

[the_boy_jake]

Anyone else notice channel 9 and America's ABC taking the p*ss by choosing RAY martin and BARB Walters respectively to do the Terri Irwin interviews. FFS have the poms got STING lined up to complete the humiliation.
