Steve Irwin Killed By Stingray

I must admit, I found this amusing.

that sucks, i like that dude, sad for his wife and kids...Not really surprised though, I thought it would be a gator.

Oh meep. And I just submitted a ded Irwin link.

CRIKEY, I knew he'd go like this...

It was only a matter of time. No more surprising than any NASCAR death, though at least in pursuit of a goal.

Crikey I'm gonna stick my thumb up this string rays meep hole and try and meep it off

National day of mourning in Australia, Qwerty? Irwin is your Princess Diana I think.

:crocodiletear:

I have swarmed a link on this as well.

By the way the meep polititians are carrying on he will be getting a state funeral to go with the national day oof mourning.

Hay, I was right ^_^

Listeners called in one after another to check the news and tell of their own feelings of devastation.

Several callers likened the loss to the death of Princess Diana.

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,20352596-1702,00.html Obviously not everyone has a tale of woe

thats too bad. he was a good guy. a freak, but a good guy.

Remember THIS?!!

What a boring way to die.

It is spelled Irwin, not Erwin.

Word on the street is his wife is hiking somewhere in tasmania, and is yet to learn of the stingray pwnage.

oh what?! that sucks.

I was just saying earlier today, I hope this finally wakes people up to the dangerous menace of stingrays in the worlds oceans. Do stingrays contribute anything good to our society? I ask you now.

But really, what a life this guy had, and what a way to go. I stand in awe. Not only are those things big as f*k on occasion, but they pack a lot of serious venom too.

RIP

Within minutes of the news of Irwin's death breaking this afternoon, someone had written: 'Steve Irwin's dead! LOLOLOLOLOL!' on the biography of the Australian icon.

LOLOLOLOLOL

What is the Australian word for Karma?

Fosters.

Now that I think about it, I'm going to miss seeing that fool on the telly. His shows were awesome.

And I pray to god the footage of his death makes it onto the internets.

This dude was practically begging to die like this for the past decade.

no, he was begging to be killed by crocs, not a stupid stingray

According to this it was filmed:

^ He was swimming off the Low Isles at Port Douglas where he had been filming an underwater domeepentary when it occurred.

Reading Is Fundamental.

In complete irony, we were watching a bloopers show of him on Sunday night, and he said he would be extremely embarassed if he was ever badly hurt by a croc. I think this would have pleased him.

Somehow, dragon, I highly doubt that.

Attention meep.

Pewp. His was among the better freakshows.

Stingray'd

I feel somewhat responsible for this.
Here's why: I went to lunch with the family yesterday and had a couple drafts of Fosters. Haven't had one of them in years and don't know what made me decide to order them. OBVIOUSLY (pish), it was because either Steve Irwin had just died, or that he was just about to at that time, and I was unknowingly giving him his last toast. RIP, dude. I never really watched your show, but those parodies of you on SNL were pretty amusing.

I don't even like Fosters. Weird.

YOU KILLED CROCODILE HUNTER! YOU meep!

'The footage reveals that Irwin reacted to the stingray barb piercing his chest by instantly pulling it out -- but a moment later he was 'probably dead', Mr Stainton told reporters in Cairns, North Queensland.'

Imagine This piercing your heart and then pulling it out.....

Mary, Mother of Consolation, be with me as I pray for the souls of those departed from this life. Please join your prayers with mine as I remember my dear departed croc hunter.

At least he went out like a man, with a sting ray barb through his heart, and not something weak like choking on strawberry cupcake.

Point.

I think we owe him a debt of gratitude for encouraging legions of stupid people to antagonize alligators and venomous snakes.

While I whole-heartedly agree with all messages of sadness and condolence in this thread, I feel that we are missing the obvious point:

Never pull it out!!

NICE!

Here it is the video of Steve Irwins death....

Steve Irwin Death Video

wolfer, you stupid meep. everything out there is guaranteed to be a spoof.

we did some aggregate research on irc earlier this week and found some supposed 'leaked' footage on this australian fan forum. i sorta figured that the production quality would be above average considering a camera crew was present. check it, yo. i guess it's possible that it wasn't even Irwin that gets jabbed in the clip, but its still meepin scary.

haha, that was sick
