Stung

A bunch of whiners are up in arms about the notoriously irreverent television show South Park lampooning Steve Irwin's death.

As a spokesman for the show said:

"It has offended people in the past and probably will again. Regular watchers would not be shocked."

Of greater relevance is the fact that people are treating this dead thrill-seeker like he was some sort of saint, and I for one am getting really tired of it. The guy had a deathwish and he managed to fulfill it.

A couple of years ago, when Irwin fed a crocodile while holding a human baby in his arms, nearly everyone was calling for him to be charged with child endangerment and jailed. Then some stingray gets tired of being the center act in a freak show and nails him, so suddenly he's a saint?!

Get over it, folks. Besides, he wasn't half the man Jim Fowler was in his heyday.

Ah come on man, the show was pretty good. True there was a serious lack of Zombie’s but it was way better then Jack Hanna.
