[griftadan]

i thought he would end up dying in a much more bad *** way.

[MegaPhony]

ya i thought so too
like a 10 crocodile orgy mad human flesh frenzy
but in anycase, that's really too bad
living on the edge will get you killed someday however
at least he lived a good life
RIP Steve

[loathed]

RIP...

I stingray sticking his barb into your chest seems pretty jacked up to me

This bummed me out, he was such a passionate guy.

[Wish]

That guy's excellent and his show is hilarious and well, fun. It's really a shame that he's died.

RIP

:(

[Benzum]

horrible news :(

[davo_guitarman]

damn i loved steve :(

*LONG LIVE IRWIN*

[stevensonmat2]

Thats to bad, but you could've seen it coming.

[RCVA]

this sucks so bad.


RIP :(

[Phill]

It's horrible news. He always lived dangerously, but I feel sorry for his wife and 2 kids he left behind.

RIP Steve.

[Knifeboy]

can't wait for the video to surface

[Dinosawesome]

Am I the only one that thinks he wired all of his money off to an offshore account and faked his own death so that he could finally give up the forced accent and live a life of peace on a small island in the bahamas?

It's a conspiracy gosh darn it!

[sg_bassist]

even though i'm not aussie, i've been living down under long enough to fully appreciate all that this country has to offer, one of those things being the enthusiasm that Steve Irwin shows in his work. true, he's made a few controversial decisions, but the fact that he usually takes all the risks to teach the world about the environment (and have the occasional slugfest with a croc) is enough proof for everybody to respect him.

rest in peace, mate.

[Benzum]

I feel sorry for his wife and 2 kids he left behind.


Yeah that's the harsh reality of it all.

[Jude]

A stingray is a pretty badass way to die.

Anyway as sad as this may be it's not really a world issue...

[matt_h]

Stingray barb through the heart...

RIP

isnt it a bit sick to want to watch a video of it?

[pooble]

RIP

man.. of all the people that had to die, poor guy, poor family.

[Mr. Ron]

He had it coming. Crazy aussies.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

I wasn't much of a fan of his, but I enjoyed watching his show. What a shame.

R.I.P.

[WhoDidTheElf]

Sad indeed, rather shocking. Seemed the guy was invicible.

Sad for his family too...

RIP

[Oddsen]

Thats too bad.

[innerdark]

RIP Steve Irwin. 1965-2006

Guy was a legend, done so much to educate the kids about crocs etc

at least he didn't have to suffer

[Liquid Force]

RIP Steve

They said it was a one in a million type of thing ...ashame

[Schyma]

Of all the things he's done.....a sting ray? Wow, makes me think twice about swiming over a sting ray in the near future. All joking aside this is probably the saddest death this year. (Syd Barrett was my favorite songwritter!) He's done so much good, it's a shame he had to go but at least he died doing the things he loved.

Rest In Peace
~Steve Irwin~

Sad day.... :(

[(r)evolution]

I feel bad for his family, but not for him. You mess with sting rays and they'll f'uck your sh'it up. He was always pissing animals off (which is usually a good thing) and one finally took him out. Disgruntled crocs everywhere are cheering.

[3074326]

I know a lot of people disliked him, but even if you do.. you can't argue with the fact that he loved what he did for a living. Sad day. He did a lot of great things.

RIP

dude stingrays are famous for being so very not aggressive

if the barb hasn't hit his heart he'd've been fine

[(r)evolution]

maybe the singray finally had enough of his general douchbaggery and decided to strike a blow for the world

[JoshIsNumber3]

I hope that they give him a 21 crikey send off.

[PepsiMetal]

I was watching that guy on Jay Leno not too long ago. Life is so weird one day your good and well and other you're gone.

Rip

[sweboy]

He was great.

R.I.P.

[MyShrimpDied]

I was hanging out with an Australian friend of mine last night and when this subject came up his replie was an enthused "Yes!"

I guess he thought this guy gave Australians a bad name.

[Samuel]

I guess he thought this guy gave Australians a bad name.
I've always thought that the driven passion to education and ecological awareness was a big plus to Australia's image. He acted goofy, but when you think about the things he did, it's not a negative.

RIP.

[AA-12]

When I heard this last night I felt so bad it wasn't even funny. He was my hero all through childhood.

[Volumnius Flush]

Thanks for ruining my entire day Das.

[Scoot]

Dammit. He was cool, but reckless. Although, it might have been his recklessness that made him cool.

Nevertheless, RIP :(

[LittlePound]

Thats to bad, but you could've seen it coming.
are you kidding me. A stingray barb to the heart? we could have seen it coming? It seems to me the chances of a sting ray hitting you with its barb just right to where it goes under your ribcage and punctures your heart are pretty unlikely...

[Spoonful of Shame]

I think he meant that eventually one of the animals would get the best of him. And when you think about it that is certainly true because all of the dangerous encounters he puts himself in.

[Knifeboy]

This seems to have effected alot of people's day.. It really is a shame, Irwing was one of those people, you couldn't imagine dying

[PepsiMetal]

I think he meant that eventually one of the animals would get the best of him. And when you think about it that is certainly true because all of the dangerous encounters he puts himself in.

The sad part was when he was holding his baby near a croc. That was completely stupid. I personally thought crocodile would eat him sometime, this stingray incident is a shock. It's sad, he was pretty knowledgable about animals, I remember him talking on late night shows and explaining crap about them. Educating us about our wilderness.

This seems to have effected alot of people's day.. It really is a shame, Irwing was one of those people, you couldn't imagine dying

Either way, he was only 40 something, that's pretty young for anyone so his death at his age is kinda shocking too.

[eseer erre]

Now I feel bad about all the jokes I've made about exactly this thing happening. RIP to the coolest guy on Animal Planet.

[neal_672]

Gutted, i don't know why it's hit me so hard but the guy was an absolute legend.

RIP.

[Badmoon]

The Croc Hunter was rough as nails

RIP to a badass

[Rawb]

This totally sucks. I grew up watching this guy.

I'm gonna miss him.

RIP

[bleep_bloop]

I could never really appreciate his little "Crikey!" thing, it always got on my nerves.

[conniption]

RIP Steve Irwin.

[groomits]

Irwin is still alive in me, he's a classic!

RIP

[Saxophoneislife]

I know... I know... It's really sad. and really surprising at the same time. I feel really bad for his family.. It's the first time I've cried in a while. I really liked him, and watching his show.

[blueyxd]

He lived such an awsome life. There will be so much to remember about him.

[PepsiMetal]

Yup he sure did live a fantastic life. He went everywhere and saw everything. Especially nature and all different species and stuff. Beauty of the world.

[halfdeadhippo]

He was the kind of dude who could look Death himself in the eye and say "Be not proud, bitch!" At least he died honorably. Requiescat in Pace.

[Excursions]

He died doing something that he loved doing, no better way to go out in life. Irwin you were a good bloke.

[Smokey D]

This is a news forum as well.

I feel for his family.

[666Ozzfan]

Well, he did always say animals had a special place in his heart.....

I just didn't think he meant it literally.

[LittlePound]

:rolleyes:

[John Paul Harrison]

Joke in poor taste.

[Eliminator]

There's no such thing as taste on Sputnik.

[Thunderchild]

I just didn't think he meant it literally.
Made me lol even thuogh it shuoldn't have.

Steve was just such a passionate guy, he lived to teach people about animals, even if it landed him up a tree being circled by komodo dragons!

RIP to a true legend.

[Double You Awful]

That guy was pretty cool. I found the news pretty shocking.

RIP

[loathed]

Poor wife and his 2 kids...they're like 8 and 2
