Thats to bad. He lived a short life, but he did what he loved.

He was a legend in my books, an amazing guy. It's a shame to see him go.

Yeah, poor guy. Feel sorry for his two little kids too.....


It's the probably the way he would have wanted to go though...

Bob's right, I don't reckon he would have been happy with a more "normal" kind of death.

Strider
04-09-2006, 07:47 AM
aww he was great. I assumed it would have been a croc from the title, he did the job everyday and like Bob said it probably was the way he wanted to go.

A great man indeed. There has never been anyone like him, and there probably never will be again.

Most heartfelt condolences to his family, especially his children. I just hope that one day someone takes them aside and lets them know just how much of a legend he was.

Waking up this morning I never expected this, I thought the guy was invincible. He was great. Komodo dragons, snakes, tarantulas, scorians, poisonous lizards, box jellyfish, it's amazing that he was the fourth person to die by a creature with mild posion rather than the previously mentioned creatures.

R.I.P.

I heard about this as soon as I woke up today and it actually made me quite sad.... He really was an awesome entertainer and took a lot of risks for what he did.... I don't however think this is the way he would have liked to go..... He's always been amazingly careful to make sure this kinda thing doesn't happen to him and you have to remember he still has a little kid who is now without a father....... It really is a terrible thing to happen.

The guy annoyed me personally, but he was good at what he did.

Feel sorry for his kids too, R.I.P annoying crocodile hunter.

Tellyn
04-09-2006, 09:55 AM
He has two children. My thoughts go out to them today.

He was always very careful with snakes and such otheer dangerous creatures, how did this finish him? I also think that's not how he would have liked to go. I think he would have preferred a snake, shark or croc.

RIP mate!

Absolute great guy to watch. Extremely entertaining! and yes i agree, he died doing something he loves and always knew that the different types of animals he works with are extremely dangerous.

Every day could have been his last really!

My thoughts go out to his wife and kids as well!

You will be missed.

04-09-2006, 10:11 AM
Strewth, was rather shocked by this. Thinking about the lifestyle he lead he was a very lucky man, but it appears his luck has now run out. He had such a big personality I can see his death effecting a lot of people.

Babooo
04-09-2006, 10:17 AM
RIP. Thoughts go out to his family.

Heck no death at all!

How does someone gets a stingray through the heart? I mean, thats some perfect aiming.

Fierce_LiNk
04-09-2006, 11:29 AM
Let's be honest, if Steve saw this happening to someone else, he'd be marvelling at the precision aiming.

I think the Stingray done him proud.

This man was a hero of mine, he did a great job, a totoal legend, his zoo is one of the best places i have ever been

Stevie i salute you

knightendo
04-09-2006, 01:03 PM
jokes shouldn't be made about this!! so stop it rokhed!

this man was a legend and shall be missed greatly. he would never have wanted to go like this because some people will now see these creatures as a threat to us, especially if he was killed by a croc or a shark. steve was always the first to tell us that this kind of thing is just what comes naturally to these creatures, it was defending itself and this was an unfortunate accident. the very last thing steve would ever want to happen is for someone to catch the ray that did this, no no no!

this guy was a hero to many, especially his own children, may they be comforted at this time of grief, and he'll live on forever with all of us through the tv and the Australia Zoo.

RIP

He was a quality entertainer on screen, and he done so much great work off screen towards preserving and benefiting animals. He'll definitely be missed. I feel so sorry for his wife and kids.

No, the guys poked enough deadly animals with a stick in his lifetime that it was inevitable he'd take it to far and get his just desserts.
If you can't see the justice in this, then I pity you.

Dan Dare
04-09-2006, 01:45 PM
In all fairness, that was a funny picture.

demonmike04
04-09-2006, 01:49 PM
Its a funny picture indeed, I dont see the need for anger knightendo.

Its not mocking Irwin, its not being disrespectful, it just displays a common misinterpratation(sp?) of the news.

04-09-2006, 01:51 PM
That's really sad, especially seeing as he was only 44. I always used to watch crocodile hunter in the early hours.

I pity people who don't see that death is beyond jokes, no matter who, or how much you didn't like someone - it's too big a deal. He has children who will grow up without their father, friends - family, just like anyone else. There's probably a lot of people out there that don't like you, too, but in the event of your death would you want the people you left behind seeing pictures making fun of your choices in life?

Sick.

I'd be dead, I wouldn't care, and to be honest if I spent my life abusing animals by poking them with sticks I'd expect some people to be happy about my demise.

KKOB
04-09-2006, 02:15 PM
its sad but he had to die in that kind of way, it wouldn't make much sense if he died of old age or a car crash or something.

i find it ironic he died from a usually harmless stingray attack thingy but hey, i wouldnt want it in my heart.

demonmike04
04-09-2006, 02:16 PM
Sick.

But theres no disrespect, its just joking at a possible misunderstanding with news titles.

Haver
04-09-2006, 02:16 PM
He would want it this way.

Irwin's death was only the third known stingray death in Australian waters, said shark and stingray expert Victoria Brims.

Wildlife experts said the normally passive creatures only sting in defence, striking with a bayonet-like barb when they feel threatened or are trodden on.

rokhed00
04-09-2006, 02:20 PM
He would want it this way, Shorty.

Too right, the guy dedicated his life to abusing deadly animals and he must've known that despite how entertaining some people found his animal abuse that when it inevitably backfired on him that people had the right to poke fun at it the same way he poked all those poor animals.

The3rdChildren
04-09-2006, 03:01 PM
He died doing what he loved, ironically against a much less dangerous foe then we'd have all expected. A quality guy, a top entertainer and a legend in every right.

Rest in peace, Steve Irwin. You'll be missed.

Errrm I agree with Shorty and knightendo here. Right so let me make my point, poking animals does not hurt them in any way, it only aggrivates (sp?) them. And I dont think Steve deserves jokes about his death.

Anyway R.I.P Stevy and god bless your family.

He should have worn sunscreen. It might have blocked out the harmful rays.

Was a bit of a shock, but y'know....the odds were bound to catch up with him.

i say it is a shame the guy died. Rok i see your point and agree. but you must realise he did do good things for animals too. i am sure that when he was poking with stick it was not with the intention to torment them, i might be wrong.

but i agree that the picture was funny. i see no reason for the flaming. the man died from an animal attack he was always going to go that way.

I'm amazed at how I keep thinking how sad this is. Shallow as it may sound, normally when someone famous dies I feel bad for a bit, but then let it go. Since I heard the news this morning, I have been thinking that it is quite a loss. Commiserations go to his family.

Haver
04-09-2006, 04:48 PM
The thing is, every time I imagine what happened, it's just like that scene out of Invasion, you know?

Also, apparently, the ray was buried and Steve swam over it, as opposed to him poking it or whatever and it felt threatened and did its thing.

I couldn't stomach his show but he had kids and it's sad.

Minihobbsch

I had always imagined Steve to die wrestling crocs in his late 80's.

bob
04-09-2006, 05:09 PM
Steve may have done the odd poking at animals, but he knew what he was doing, and knew when he was going too far and actually hurting them.

He was a conservationist, and had a love for every single one of the earths animals. Just listening to him speak to them, you could tell how much respect he had for each one. When he did pick up a snake with a stick or whatever, he would do it carefully and maybe only be moving the snake to a more safe place.

Yeah, sure.
All those crocs he poked until they tried to bite him just so he could show their teeth to the camera was all done for their own good.

Meh, it's a terrible shame, repeated of his programes got me through countless hours whenever I've been ill and lying on the sofa...

At least it was a fairly fitting death.

I like to thing his final words were "Crickey, it's a big one!"...

Yeah, sure.
All those crocs he poked until they tried to bite him just so he could show their teeth to the camera was all done for their own good.

Get over yourself. He was a conservationist and worked to do good for wildlife, relocating crocs to prevent them for being killed. His methods were unusual but that was to bring in a TV audience - and it successed. Compare the ratings of his programmes against David Attenborough's of the last 10 years. He knew how to bring in an audience, he never actually killed any of the animals he pursued.

Now if you're gonna say people deserve death because of animal cruelty, then first start with the big game hunters, the fox hunters, spanish bullfighters, fur wearers (particular those that wear rare fur, such as Pete Burns).

It is sad what has happened, but he was always at risk with what he did.

Depends, I personally think the incident happend just after entering the water, as the vibrations from flashes cause a disturbance to sea creatures, thus making the crocodile hunter a danger to sting rays.

If it happend as I guessed, it wouldnt of been filmed.

keep your disgusting jokes to yourself rokhed. you may think it's funny but this is a public forum where a lot of people respected the guy and the great work he did. to say he tortured animals with a stick shows just how little you knew of him!! to flame him by joking about his death (or anyone's death!) is just sick! you have caused offence to his fans on here and those that know how much he'll be missed. have repect, the man did the world many favours in his lifetime of work, and his wife and kids will now have to try to live without him, and you make jokes. i really can't believe you are trying to justify yourself!

to get back on topic...
the work he did, and the awareness his programmes brought will leave a lasting effect on the world at large, and his achievements cannot be understated. and dabookerman and 3rdchildren, you're right :) hopefully he is in heaven with all the crocs and sharks that he couldn't help in this world, he can now help them in the next :)

i actually think this is the last way he'd ever want to go, as he was always so passionate that these creatures are not a threat to us if we respect them as equals.

Of course it's a tragedy that Steve Irwin has died But it does annoy me that people in their dozens post commemorative bulletins/threads/posts all over the internet about it when 14 British troops died a couple of days ago when their aircraft crashed.

Don't remember anyone posting anything mentioning those honorable men?

They aren't television legends, nobody cares about them but their friends and families. I wouldn't expect the internet to roll out the memes and heartfelt thanks if I died either.

I can see both points I suppose. I guess there are certain traits people admired in Steve, so in a way he was a role model to them?

Its a bit of a weird concept to me though, having someone you don't know (or more importantly doesn't know you) as a role model.

I do know from experience though, its only when a person dies that you truely realise the place they played in your life. I think its important to take time to reflect on people you care for and who are important in your life and to take the time to let them know you appreciate them.


anyway, I remember some of his shows, I can't say I enjoyed them huge amounts, but its sad to know his kids will be left unable to get to know their father (Although I imagine to a small extent there will be plenty of video of him they can watch over).
Also feel sorry for his wife, Obviously I can't imagine what she's going through at the moment.

I'm sure if many people had got to know one of those 14 squaddies through the media and decided they were an all round great bloke who brought a smile to their face, there'd be a similar reaction to their death. As it is, I'm not ashamed to say that I'm far more gutted about Steve Irwin dying than all 14 of them dying in a war zone - that's human nature.

If you're going to take it further, the 14 soldiers have been reported in national newspapers, been a main story on TV all day, had flowers lain by people who didn't know them - how many died in road accidents that day? how many faceless statistics of starvation, war, disease, who didn't get that attention because they didn't die in a planecrash? It's not human nature to distribute an even amount of attention and public or personal greif to every single death in the world.

I will say I'm definitely more gutted about Steve than I was about, say Diana dying and remember the sickening grief circus that went on for months after that? Makes posting a thread saying you'll miss a TV presenter pale into insignificance.

It was captured on film:


The accident in which Australian naturalist and TV's "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin was killed was captured on video, producer and friend John Stainton has told reporters in Cairns, Queensland.

"I did see the footage and it's shocking," said Stainton. "It's a very hard thing to watch because you're watching somebody die and it's terrible."

Irwin was killed yesterday when a stingray's barb pierced his heart.

"It shows that Steve came over the top of the ray and the tail came up, and spiked him here [in the chest], and he pulled it out and the next minute he's gone," explained Stainton. "That was it. The cameraman had to shut down."

He would want it this way.

Personally, I doubt he would've wanted to die at all. And certainly not at his age and leaving his children behind. Whether he died the way he wanted is irrelevant - am I the only one that feels that death can't be joked about on any level? We don't know if there's an afterlife, it's possible Steve Irwin simply no longer exists, he can't see, hear, think, breathe, be happy - nothing, he's just gone forever - all his memories, his past and future... doesn't anyone else see that there's no funny side to death?

And Shorty I don't think that anyone should worry about death. Afterall as you said, nobody know what happens after death, it could be something amazing. And if you do cease to exist then you would have no feelings therefore no sorrow.

don't sigh and give up shorty, many of us here agree whole-heartedly with you, i'm just going to ignore those that wish to joke about someone dying. they'll meet their maker some day and as g'kar said "the wheel turns", or in a more matter-of-fact way, what goes around comes around.

and if anyone wants to say he was a hero to them, or to people they knew, or to their children, they are entitled to. he WAS a hero of mine, as i have a huge fascination with sharks and he did so much to help preserve certain species from extinction.

he'll be greatly missed, and i mean that.

steve irwin was an hilarious man, this thread SHOULD be full of the humour he brought, but not this sick tirade. this thread was created to show respect and dicuss the man, not make jokes about someone dying. anyone who makes jokes about anybody dying is sick. simple as that.

CALM DOWN PEOPLE! My dad's already getting loads of texts through from his friend about Steve Irwin's death, to be honest it's not really fair. He showed people hundreds of animals that we probably wouldn't have seen elsewhere. Fair enough when George Best died because he was a footballer for a short time, then became a useless drunk that ruined two new organs because he carried on drinking.

He did deserve to die, those organs could have gone to people who needed it. People probably died because he got those organs. Steve Irwin did good things, he taught local veteranarians (sp?) in foreign countries how to capture and safely move crocodiles, snakes and alligators and rescued many animals from death.

All his friends said was that it was his dying wish, he wanted people to know about the creature that killed him and learn about it. And a man's dying wish should be of no concern to you, 'funny' pictures are just sick and an insult to his memory.

NOTHING gives you the right to come onto a thread meant as a sign of respect and make jokes! anyone with a bit of sense would KNOW there'd be people there that'd take offense, and i have, massively! if you didn't wana come into this thread to pay respects you shouldn't have entered it in the first place!

i would NEVER do that!!! no mature person would! and you actually think uv done nothing wrong!! and i'm pompous? no, i'm just trying to show some respect and have taken offense! as i have already stated the man was a role model to me, and i actually AM mourning his death, that is plain to see to anyone on here!! to say that i'm just being pompous shows how inconsiderate you are!! congrats, just when i think u can't upset me anymore you've just managed it!

when someone like steve irwin dies, someone who ISN'T a murderer for example ffs(!!) and you open a thread and see there are people who ARE actually upset over his death you feel the need to make jokes!!! then you accept no responsibilty, and when i get even more upset you call me pompous!!!! unbelievable!!

but he isn't easing any grief. he has no grief, and that's fair enough, but what you don't do is come onto a thread where it is obvious from the posts that there are people on it that ARE grieving, big time, and make jokes about how that person died! you may as well go to any of the mourning events his fans are arranging and point and laugh! it's the same thing, i was mourning the loss of a hero, and someone comes in to the place that's been set aside in these forums to do that, and he laughs about it.

if he had no grief for steve irwin that's his choice, no need to come to the thread at all, never mind what he's done! i was trying to mourn the loss of a great saviour of the sharks (which is a VERY important cause for me and my friends) and he has completely ruined it for me. beyond forgiveness.

We all have different opinions on whats funny and whats not and that some people would just all of a sudden decide that some particular thing is NOT funny because they are a majority and find it sick.... well that is just sick to me

Because it is sick. Taking the piss out of someone dieing just isn't funny. Say one of your mates died, and someone took the piss. Would you laugh with them? Because yeh of course...death is funny...:indeed:

Let´s just choke down people PERSONNEL humour because someone dosen´t like it.
And making fun of death isn´t taking a piss on it, taking a piss on it is saying he deserved it not making a photoshop picture related to it
Humour is much like opinions and not many people like it when people take a shit on theyre opinions and force others to like theyrs

Well as you put it that way I guess I can just say I was voicing my opinion :p. Well I'd like it if you could show me where I 'forced' someone else to like my opinion. Then again I suppose I did shit on your opinion cos as you say, it was shit...

Actually when you saying making fun of death is sick and disguisting and so on your forcing you own opinion on others put if you had written it:
I find it sick to make fun of death then your talking about it as your own opinion but writing it:
Making fun of death is sick. Then your saying that it´s a fact and nothing can change and if you disaggree, your sick then

Ok so its a fact then :P. Still doesn't defeat the point that it's sick. You still didnt answer my previous question about if one of your mates died would you find it funny. Have no answer for that one then? Because of course once again as you said, taking the piss out of someone whos died is the norm and hilarious (y).

Oh btw, The avatar of Invader Zim, Are you emo? :p lol

I wouldn´t laugh if my friend would die if that satifies you... But i wouldn´t go ballistic over it because that wouldn´t make his death any more comfortable or bring him back

Yeah i´m a blazing emo because i like a TV-Show that came out before emos became a fad :blank:

Ballistic? Who said anything about being ballistic or bringing someone back? So you wouldn't take the piss in some comical way? But hang on a minute, if your up for taking the piss out/have no problem with people taking the piss out of steve irwins death, whats the difference? After all, you view death as a good chance to take the piss out of the person who died.

Nah its just most of the faggots that call themselves emos like him. I'll just take it your emo :indeed:

Come to think of it, it's not really all that sick that you make fun of someone dying. It's actually just a little sad.

Lets face it, you're only making the jokes in an attempt to look cool and witty, you want your peers to see you as a "hard" person who can laugh at anything and doesn't fear death. On top of that you want to be seen as a "funny-guy" of the forums. Hey, if that's what it takes for you to feel like a man, I'll leave ya to it.

So first were sick people now were wannabe tough guys and wannabe funny-people

Is it so hard to comprehend that other people actually find other things funny?
Were not going complety ballistic over that you don´t find it funny, were not going: It is funny and because you say it´s not funny you have no humour!
Were just defending what kind of humour we like not trying to show who´s the "tough guy" on the forum (There would be alot more swearing and childish remarks then)

EDIT:
After all, you view death as a good chance to take the piss out of the person who died Sarcasm? Not a fan?

To go back on-topic, it's sad to know he died. I never really watched his show much (not that popular around here I guess), but I still feel bad for the family he's leaving behind. Plus, he actually did something to help animals and he was passionate about what he did, so he's good in my book.

Come on, people. This isn't worth falling out over.

Yeah, this guy was loved by his family. He had millions of fans who enjoyed his antics, too. He'll be remembered for that more than anything.

It's in the nature of the internet to put its own spin on things. Remember the famous Zidane headbutt at the world cup. Not long after that had happened, there were gifs and various images all over the place! It's just the way things are. They're not trying to dis-respect the guy, but they're trying to add their own humour onto the subject.

Anyway, lets just leave it at that. It's not worth arguing or getting wound up over.

Thank you, everyone seems to think he just tormented creatures for a laugh, he ran schemes to protect wildlife and put his life on the line to help injured animals all the time. He also trained vets and zookeepers. The guy loved animals - he didn't do all those stunts just to wind them up - he knew what bothered them and what didn't, and when human help was a good idea.

I'll joke about literally anything and everything to be honest, all humour comes from breaking rules. I laughed at some of the Irwin pics and I'm still gutted about his death.

I was resisting getting involved in the topic because I'm a big fan of Steve and I was pretty shocked about his death. But dabookerman just made me chuckle my arse off with that star wars picture.

Same here, I respected Steve Irwin because I don't have the balls to do what he did and I am pretty gutted for his family & friends. Still, funny Star Wars pic.

Eh, oh well.

Sorry I'm late on this, such a shame to see an amazing man go. Every where I go there seem to be jokes about his death thats bound to happen, understandable even. I'm dissapointed he's gone, though who ever said he'll be taking down dinosaurs in heaven was right. That thought cheered me up. :)
