You'd all be lauging and calling for a darwin award. He's a selfish prick for continuing his antics with a family to provide for.

He gambled. He lost. There's way bigger tragedies going on a daily basis.

I'm sure his family is well provided for, considering his celebrity.

Im talking about growing up without a father.

Do you even know what a stingray is? Thousands of people swim in water with stingrays each day. They're not dangerous; this was just a fluke.

Lol. This guy is only famous for sticking his finger up angry animal's backsides- hell, they even made a southpark episode about it. I'm sure he was doing the same with the stingray.

Where are the mods when you really need them...
Because you disagree with my opinion? Lol.

You're not expressing an opinion. You're being an ass.

Huh - is South Park a documentary by your standards?

IIRC that was the only time Steve used his thumb in that way.

the Croc hunter is regular Saturday viewing here and I have never seen an episode in which he did that.

but then again ATOT is full of retards who will believe anything.

I actually agree - if being an insensitive asshole were a banning offense, this place would have a lot fewer members. I do think your comments are completely stupid and disrespectful, though.

Oh, and lest I forget: Isn't this the guy that dangled his 2 year old child in front of crocodiles "not for ratings" but because his child needed to become "crock saavy?"

Right. Every 2 year old should be treated this way, it's the healthy, proper thing. :roll:

I suppose you believe Paris Hilton really met the Frog King inside Mr Slave's rectum, too? I guess South Park is "the news" now.

Sounds like it was painful too.

No, he didn't dangle his kid in front of a crocodile. He held it in his offhand, which was shielded completely by his body. Stupid and unnecessary? Yeah, but nowhere near your description of it.

Clearly his ability to assess dangerous situations when working with wild animals is unquestionable. Oh, wait..

The Irwins have two children, an eight-year-old a daughter, Bindi Sue, and a three-year-old son, Robert Clarence, usually known as Bob.

Major controversy arose during a public show on 2 January 2004, when Irwin carried his infant son, Bob, in one arm while feeding a chicken carcass to a crocodile with the other hand. The infant was close to the crocodile, and comparisons were made in the press with Michael Jackson's dangling of his son outside a German apartment window. In addition, child welfare groups, animal rights groups, and many of Irwin's television viewers criticised his actions as being irresponsible and tantamount to child abuse. Irwin claimed that any danger to his son was only a perceived danger and that he was in complete control of the situation, and consistently refused to apologize for his actions despite considerable public outcry both in Australia and abroad. His defenders pointed to his several decades of hands-on experience and direct interaction with crocodiles. Terri Irwin claimed that their child was in no more real danger than a child being taught to swim would be. No charges were filed (although the police did visit Irwin at his home and advised him not to repeat the incident).

Huh. Kinda sheds a new light on this whole thing given recent events.

I reiterate: shellfish man leaves 3 year old son fatherless. Pun intended.
