Steve Irwin news roundup

TIAI think I’ve got it all, pretty much. Here are all the posts on this blog about Steve Irwin’s death. A warning to the curious: I am completely, utterly without sense of taste or discretion. Click at your peril.

Steve Irwin, R.I.P. Steve’s FedEx commercial. The news hits.

A Steve Irwin Tribute. Just what it says, something I wrote about my awestruck regard for the man.

No State Funeral for Steve Irwin. Australia offers, the Thumbs up from Steve!family declines. He was just a “regular bloke.” Yeah, but he was the best one.

Stingray apologizes for killing Steve Irwin. And about bloody time, too.

Steve Irwin wants you to watch THAT video. This is for real, or so this website says. Apparently he wanted his death to be broadcast, should it happen on-camera. No official word from the family yet, though.

Today in gruesomely decayed sea monster news. Russia has a sea monster, and here are the pix. Okay, it’s way tasteless of me to do it in Stevespeak, but this is the way Steve WOULD have reported it, if he weren’t dead.

UPDATE:

Would You Watch Steve Irwin Die? Apparently it’s true: Steve wanted his death filmed. But he didn’t actually SAY he wanted it broadcast, so what’s the right thing to do?

About the only thing he did NOT do in real life

Steve Irwin wants you to watch THAT video

not this one:

No, he wants you to watch the video of him getting killed by a stingray.

I. Am. Serious.

Even dead, Steve Irwin has more raw character than an entire continent! Let’s take a look at what the man reportedly said:

Irwin once stated, “My number one rule is to keep that camera rolling. Even if it’s shaky or slightly out of focus, I don’t give a rip.

Even if a big old alligator is chewing me up I want to go down and go, ‘Crikey!’ just before I die. That would be the ultimate for me.”

Now, unnamed sources talking to websites I’m not familiar with aren’t the world’s most reliable news outlets. Still, I’m posting this because it sounds exactly like what he would have said, and I’m entirely sure that if he did say that, the commentors will hunt it down and give me date/time/audio. Also, if he didn’t, that a raincoaster alliance of commentors and moi will hunt down and destroy that website.

UPDATE: Yes, it’s true.

Steve, don't you think you shouldn't do that with an open wound? You smell like chum.

Stingray apologizes for killing Steve Irwin

 

Finally, someone on this planet takes responsibility for his actions. I’ve had enough with people taking refuge in “temporary insanity,” “I was drunk” and “it’s my cultural heritage” excuses. Somebody stepped up and took it like a man.

Too bad it’s a coldblooded, murderous fish. I may have to start dating outside my species but given my opinion of humanity it’s probably a step up. Popbitch’s tips on having sex with dolphins awaits in the Gmail archive…nah. Squid, different story.

After days of blaming everyone but himself, Wednesday morning the stingray responsible for the tragic death of the beloved tv personality Steve Irwin finally manned-up and apologized for killing Australia’s most lovable bloke.

“To be honest I thought he was just another asshole tourist trying to ride me. How was I supposed to know that he was the freaking Crocodile Hunter?” the stingray said through his publicist Jo Brooks.

Stingray, yo

“I know my life is over, they should just kill me now,” he said before breaking down. “Besides, how’s a brother supposed to get any tail without… a tail? Just finish me off and get it over with.”

The stingray has never had any run-ins with the law and is being represented by Johnnie Conchshell who guarantees to get his client off the hook.

Stingray, baby!
