Do you guys know Steve Irwin? Our crocodile hunter? Well his wife had his second child less than a month ago and Irwin took the baby into a crocs enclosure for one of his shows. the he took the baby to the waters edge where a croc was barely a metre away. How stupid is he? It's like the Michael Jackson baby dangling fiasco. Has the world gone mad? I've hated Irwin from the start with his stupid "Crikey" and his poking a croc then saying "oh he's mad" then poking it again. And he runs a zoo! How irresponsible can this guy be?

Wow....absolutely shocking! I don't get Australian tv though. Probably because we don't have it here. But I sure don't like Michael Jackson.

Then he goes and explains himself on American TV. He is trying soo badly to win Americans over when really he should be trying to win Aussies over. And I hate the way he talks! Oh it's soo annoying. The only reason he said he was sorry was because the some department was investigating him. He's soo stupid.

Ergh. I get crocodile hunter, even if I'm not an Aussie. I never liked it. Steve Irwin is so stupid! You're right Triad, he pokes a crocodile and says "CRIKEY! HE'S MAD!" it just leaves me thinking "Of course he's mad you DOLT! you just poked it with a stick! I'd be mad too!"

Rainy could you please reply in a way that we can understand what you are saying? If I'm the only one then sorry but I find it hard to figure out what your trying to say.

He has done some pretty stupid things in the past. I think we should move on because the media has. Steve Irwin does make many Aussies like myself cringe with embarrassment. Like someone posted, we are not like him.

I could get over it but he keeps doing stupid things that put him in the media. Like that swimming with whales or something? He's a total moron and I can't stand him. Every time his ads come on for his zoo I have to change the channel! Ugh, I wish he would just give it up already!

I'm no fan of his but I do think the whole thing was blown out of proportion. He had an interview with Andrew Denton on Enough Rope not too long after it and they showed how far away from the croc the kid actually was. He's good for tourism and he does a lot for the environment as well. I used to be really contemptuous towards him but now I just let him be the harmless entertainer he is.

Besides he's a lot better than the reality trash which passes for entertainment these days.

I've heard about this incident & the first thing I thought was "OMG!! The poor baby!". I agree it's his kid & he should be able to raise him/her the way he wants to, but hello? Are you going insane Mr. Crocodile Hunter? I thought that was such a stupid thing for him to do.. aww.. I'm still thinking about the poor baby.. could've gotten hurt!
