Erm.

So I was sitting here trying to figure out whether it's worse to dangle the baby over a balcony or use it to taunt crocodiles, and my brain exploded.

thank you! I thought I was the only one who was caught in that quandry. Where was Mrs Irwin while Steve was bonding with their tiny bundle of croc bait???

[ladynaberrie.livejournal.com]

Either heavily sedated or having a heart attack, I would think.

[tempestas-lamia.livejournal.com]

His American wife, Terri, who handed the baby over to Irwin in the enclosure and giggled at the spectacle, agreed. "It was a wonderful sensory experience for him (the baby). He dug it," she said.

Does being HIGH count as heavily sedated?

[ladynaberrie.livejournal.com]

Some mind altering chemical had to be involved.

Squee!!

He is all shocked with the baiting a croc with a baby.

Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter, Evil Meglomaniac.

I saw it coming! *shakes fist*

I think it may merely be a case of, if she didn't think it was cool to get dangerously close to reptiles, she wouldn't have married him in the first place.

[tempestas-lamia.livejournal.com]

Ah, the first intelligent response I've had all day. Dude, it's varity.

....


*kills American blood*

Uh, I agree with you. o.0

[fyrdrakken]

And when you get right down to it and actually read the article, it points out A) Irwin's claim that another video tape shot at the same time from a different angle shows that the croc didn't come anywhere as near the kid as the publicized tape seems to show, and B) that he himself had been started at learning to deal with dangerous animals at an early age. But that's not as much fun to talk about as expressing outrage at waving a baby about in front of a hungry croc...

'Course not. Besides, what is life without propaganda? Peaceful, honest, and ethical? Nah...

[fyrdrakken]

Well, when Fahrenheit 911 comes out, that'll be one piece of propaganda I'll be cheering for...

[tempestas-lamia.livejournal.com]

Fahrenheit 911? I've been living under a rock for the last year and a half...

[fyrdrakken]

Michael Moore, the guy who made the "documentary" Bowling for Columbine, is now working on a documentary about the Bush administration and what it's done to the country called Fahrenheit 911 that's scheduled to come out this fall or late summer and is designed basically to drag Bush's PR into the ground during the homestretch of the presidential election.

[tempestas-lamia.livejournal.com]

Well then..... *rubs hands* *adds to To Watch list*

Muaha!

[fyrdrakken]

And in the meantime, go check out Bowling for Columbine or read a few of Moore's books (I'd especially recommend Stupid White Men or Dude, Where's My Country?) just to see what he's about.

I had an aneurysm when I tried to think about it.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

The funniest bit is that they named the kid Bob. As is "What do you call a guy with no arms and no legs floating in a pond?"

Subtle, Steve. Reeeeeeeeal subtle.

Crikey!

[99catsaway.livejournal.com]

Haha, I love those. What do you call a kid with no arms and no legs in a pile of leaves?

Russell.

[frogmajick.livejournal.com]

They did the same stuff with their daughter Bindi too. But they weren't famous then, except in Australia, so no one cared.

[1st-folio.livejournal.com]

What the...no. You are kidding...he didn't...

I swear I never watch the news--cuz I can't stand to think about idiocy like this.

C, shaking head

[smolder.livejournal.com]

At the risk of being contrary...

This is how Steve himself was raised. If he weren't someone who knew how dangerous these things are, he'd have been eaten a long time ago.

[lots42.livejournal.com]

Steve can taunt crocodiles all he wants. Having his kid anywhere inside a croc enclosure is pure insanity. Steve needs psychiatric help

[myniamh.livejournal.com]

I'm australian and I swear to god I didn't know untill about 6 months ago that he wasn't a comedian's character.

I had a Very Bad Thought. The baby looked like a plucked chook.
The crock could not have been blamed if if he misstook it for lunch.

Steve Irwin: He's like Diana Ross Michael Jackson Jesus, in a way.

Y'know, 'cause Jesus was in the Bible and so were other people who fed babies to Crocodiles, and stuff like that. I think. o__o

[sabotabby]

Steve Irwin is hip. Michael Jackson was hip five minutes ago. Therefore, croc bait wins.
