How could you say such things? Steve Irwin was amazing. I watched his show everyday when I was a kid. He was inspirational and passionate about his work.
If you read the article then you'd know that he didn't even die doing something crazy.

He may not have died doing something crazy, but he did some retarded things anyway.
But then again, I woulden't swim over a stingray.
What's amazing is, that the news up here hasen't even heard of it yet.
And look at the date it was posted. It says september 5th.

Speared by a stingray is fitting for him, I guess, but I think he should've died something a bit more epic. Like, being bit by a deadly snake while killing a crocodile bare-handed, y'know? Or being eaten alive by a shark, but ripping his way out of the fish's belly before succumbing to his wounds.

He was great environmentalist and I feel really sad for his wife and kids, but I'm still vaguely vindicated knowing he won't be running around poking wild animals with sticks anymore (rescuing crocodiles stuck in septic tanks not included).

That was funny, I just logged off after posting to this topic and the guys death was on the news... it was the fifth story after the one about ethenol... I don't think anyone here liked him much... he was terribly annoying and anyone that you met from another country would think that everyone was like him here, or act like him themselves...

Ok, I for one am very sad about his death. He was a great guy who cared alot for his career, and really, he was a part of my childhood. Growing up I watched his show and he's just a part of my life in that aspect. Yeah, he's done some stupid stuff, I won't lie about that. And I'll admit that I'd always expected that he'd be killed by an animal one of these days, but still. Plus, I feel loads bad about his wife and kids who now have to live without a husband/dad. So yeah. It makes ME feel sad that he's gone. DX

Okay... First of all people, though he was a little annoying to older age groups, he was purposely over the edge for younger audiences. He was a real person.
HE HAD TWO LITTLE KIDS! Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves, his son may not even be able to remember him in the future except from those shows and photo albums. He daughter might not remember much about him either.
It is sad not cool...
