    as said on the other Irwin post by someone and by Norky above......as it is believed that his TV persona was genuine and not an act, I think Steve would be having a chuckle at this wherever he is now. Probably croc heaven lol

    and c'mon people, that pic is funny
    Well, I can cut it in half!

    Although I obviously didn't know him, I think it's fairly safe to assume that someone of his demenour would find that funny.

    Let's not forget his family's request for the footage to be broadcast - You've got to have a fairly broad mind to agree to something like that.

    irwin would have loved the jokes. it's not in the least bit disrespectful to play to a guy who made a point of being a stereotype.

    infact, let this humble celebration of irwin continue!

    Aye. The man will never see his wife again, never see his kids again, miss them growing up, etc, etc. I bet he's well chuffed that a few unfunny nobs on a tech message board are taking the piss about his tragic death.

    Spot on lads, as always.

    want to make a difference? donate to an australian conservation charity.

    "But I put my life on the line to save animals."

    "The first crocodile I ever caught was at nine years of age, and it was a rescue."

    "If something ever happens to me, people are gonna be like 'we knew a croc would get him!'"

    do you *honestly* think this guy would have wanted the world to sit about making dianaesque displays of false sorrow? he dedicated his life to his work, and both he and his (similarly mad conservationist) wife knew full well the risks they both took on with vigor & zeal every day in their work.

    death is quite obviously a tragedy. in the face of tragedy, it's easy to become depressed, despondent, etc. it's by laughing at tragedy that we overcome it - and as the final quite shows, irwin was more than prepared for how he'd die - and the reaction he'd want to get out of people.

    if you're really not happy about people trying to lighten the mood, then fine. but if you actually want to make a difference, then try a donation to australia zoo (which is owned by the widow, as it happens)

    Despite your sarcasm, you're probably closer to the mark than you think.

    He's probably more chuffed that a load of people he didn't know (regardless of where they are, in the pub, one some internet board, talking over the phone whatever) are remembering him by having a joke than being miserable about it. If he was the sort of person that was level-headed and sensible, he wouldn't have been in that position in the first place anyway.

    Keep his memory alive with happiness, not crocodile tears.*

    * pun not intended, but left in anyway :-)

    I'll be sure to laugh at and mock your own tragic death then, should it occur before mine, entirely with a view to lightening the mood, of course. What would you suggest? Perhaps I could wear a clown suit to your funeral?

    Hex, the bloke died yesterday, his corpse is hardly cold, leaving his wife and 2 kids, one of whom is 3 years old and now has no father, and your messages are already 'LOLOLOLOL Steve Irwin is deaded by a Stingray!!1!!!'.

    You are not making an attempt to lighten the mood, you are taking the piss because someone in the public eye has died. Post your pictures if you like, but don't try to justify them with this bull****. Please.

    Just tell it like it is - someone famous died, you are not arsed, and its a chance to get a cheap laugh.

    Stewart, I think your reaction is inappropriate in this case.
