The whole thing is a shame. I really liked the guy for the enthusiasm he always showed, and his passion for animals and helping to protect them. He always seemed like a real genuine, nice guy.
RIP

He drives around, all over the town...
Well said. There's no debating that Irwin's show and act did a lot of good, but what the hell did everyone expect? If he was simply trying to educate people he could have just filmed deadly animals (which is still somehwat dangerous); instead, this dude jumps right in and grabs them. He was no different than anyone else who participates in extreme stunts just for the rush. He was a thrill junkie who paid the price for his needs. The fact that he's dead should come as no surprise to anyone but the very dumbest.

Thousands Gather To Say Farewell To 'Crocodile Hunter'
Irwin's Daughter Says Irwin Wanted To Change World
POSTED: 9:29 am EDT September 20, 2006
BEERWAH, Australia -- Friends and fans, including Hollywood stars and Australia's prime minister, said farewell to "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin on Wednesday at a memorial service that veered from poignant tributes to belly laughs.
Irwin's 8-year-old daughter, Bindi, hailed him "my hero." His father, Bob, asked people to end their grieving. And fans were invited to laugh at his television antics one more time.
The ceremony was carried live on three national television networks and at least one radio station. Flags on the Sydney Harbor Bridge and throughout Irwin's home state of Queensland flew at half-staff, and giant TV screens were set up for people to watch the service
Prime Minister John Howard was among the 5,000 people who attended the ceremony at the "Crocoseum," the small stadium in Irwin's wildlife park where he regularly put on crocodile-feeding shows.
"Steve Irwin touched the hearts of Australians and touched the hearts of millions around the world in a very special way," Howard said.
In a recorded video message from New York, Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe said: "It was way too soon for all of us. We have lost a friend, a champion."
Irwin, 44, died Sept. 4 when a stringray's barb pierced his chest while he filmed a TV show on the Great Barrier Reef. His family held a private funeral service for him Sept. 9 at the family-owned park, Australia Zoo.
As expected, there was one empty seat at Steve Irwin's personal stadium - symbolically set aside for the late conservationist himself. On the stage sat Irwin's widow, Terri, and their two children, Bindi, and Bob, 2 - all dressed in Irwin's favorite khaki. It was their first public appearance since Irwin's death.
"Please do not grieve for Steve, he's at peace now," Bob Irwin said. "Grieve for the animals. They have lost the best friend they ever had, and so have I."
Bindi told the crowd at the ceremony that "my Daddy was my hero."
"He was always there for me when I needed him. He listened to me and taught me so many things. But most of all he was fun," she said.
There were lighter moments, including several video clips of Irwin's in-your-face antics that drew laughs and applause from the crowd.
Most popular were out-takes and bloopers from his TV program, showing Irwin falling out of boats, getting bitten by lizards and forgetting his lines.
At the end of the ceremony, Irwin's utility vehicle, packed with camping gear and his favorite surfboard, was driven from the stadium - through an honor guard of Australia Zoo employees.
After the truck left the stadium, a group of employees spelled out Irwin's catchword "Crikey" in yellow flowers on the ground.
As part of the public memorial titled "He Changed Our World," actress Cameron Diaz said in a video presentation that Irwin was incredibly popular in the United States.
"America just flipped for him," said Diaz. "Every kid was in love with the idea of being him."
Actor Kevin Costner said in the video that Irwin was "fearless ... He let us see who he was. That is being brave in today's society."
Separately from the service, marine explorer Jean-Michel Cousteau said that, while he mourned Irwin's death, he disagreed with the Australian's hands-on approach to nature television.
He said he respected Irwin's environmental message, but noted that Irwin would "interfere with nature, jump on animals, grab them, hold them, and have this very, very spectacular, dramatic way of presenting things."
"It sells, it appeals to a lot people, but I think it's very misleading," Cousteau said in Los Angeles. "You don't touch nature, you just look at it."

Oh my god, South Park mocks Irwin

Bad taste? Steve Irwin at Satan's Hallowe'en party
Showbiz headlines
The creators of South Park have never been afraid to upset celebrities - and many of the show's viewers.
From jokes about religion and homosexuality to four-letter tirades, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have always mixed shock tactics with satire in the hit cartoon series.
But they were accused of hitting a new low last night after lampooning the demise of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin just weeks after his death.
The latest episode shows an animated Irwin in Hell with a stingray poking out of his bleeding chest.
Irwin, 44, died in September after he was impaled by a stingray's barb, while snorkelling near the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
The South Park episode called Hell On Earth 2006, which was broadcast in the US this week, shows Satan preparing to host a Hallowe'en fancy dress party.
Hundreds of dead celebrities are invited, including rapper Notorious B.I.G., Princess Diana and Hitler.
But at the party Satan receives complaints from his guests that someone is inappropriately dressed up as Irwin.
Satan confronts Irwin but the Aussie environmentalist protests it is really him, not a guest in a costume.
While characters have been killed off in the series before ? spawning the show's catchphrase "Oh my god, they killed Kenny!" ? campaigners are particularly incensed about the stingray still being attached to Irwin's bloodstained trademark khaki shirt.
British broadcasting watchdog Mediawatch condemned the episode as "grossly insensitive."
Its director, John Beyer, said: "I think this is in bad taste. Steve Irwin's family are still grieving."
"To lampoon somebody's death like that is unacceptable and so soon after the event is grossly insensitive. It is not what the family would want to see."
South Park maker Comedy Central defended the episode. A spokesman said: "It has offended people in the past and probably will again. Regular watchers would not be shocked."

I never watch SouthPark but watched part of the Halloween special and it was some of the funniest shit I've ever seen.
John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and Ted Bundy, were given the task of getting satan a Ferrari Cake.
The three killers did a 3 Stooges routine most of the show along with chopping up bodies.
The funniest part was when Dahmer starting humping the dead remains of a victim.

Let's all remember when he showed up at the party, Satan said that it was too early to have that costume. When "Irwin" corrected him, Satan said no costume, no party and booted him. It wasn't that bad, although after laughing I had to comment about how jacked up that was.....
