Dangled a kid in front of a croc on world TV, and is now upset at getting criticism. Idiot.

Steve Irwin has been working with animals all his life. He is surely aware of the risks involved and how to handle them. The fact he is still alive and well speaks for himself. That said it was a bad decision to involve his child in this incident. The risks were great even though Steve has experience and skill. Steve derserves to be critisised for what he did.
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.
This guy is the epitome of dumb luck. Have you seen his show? He irritates the fuck out of these animals, crawls right next to them with his face an inch from theirs, pulls on tails, etc. When Rosie's beagle gives me a warning growl, I back off!evilcat4000 wrote:Steve Irwin has been working with animals all his life.

By that moronic logic, any soldier who's still alive proves that it's not dangerous to be shot at.
He deserves to be charged for what he did.That said it was a bad decision to involve his child in this incident. The risks were great even though Steve has experience and skill. Steve derserves to be critisised for what he did.

He'll be cruising along like everyone else, then all of a sudden he'll slam on the brakes and scream "SNAKE!" ignoring anyone else around him. Its a miracle the man hasn't gotten someone killed because of that.
Then theres the thumb up the bum thing....

We're talking about a man with some SEVERE thrill issues. I suspect (although I am not a trained neurologist or even anything other than a rank amateur) that the part of his brain that correctly interprets threats might be at LEAST a little bit loopy.

Uhm, unless you saw something I didn't see. He DID NOT dangle his kid in front of a croc. Infact he was turned sideways towards the croc, with the kid away from the croc on his arm. He was carefully approaching the croc in that manner. He didn't get closer than 5-6 feet or so.Gandalf wrote: Dangled a kid in front of a croc on world TV, and is now upset at getting criticism.

Not luck. Skill. He's been handling animals all his life, and knows very well how far he can go. Most of the time at least.Lord Poe wrote:

What's with famous people doing stupid and dangerous things to their infant children and then acting like it was okay, even after the backlash comes in? If I was caught doing something that dumb, I'd apologize and promise never to do it again, and then live up to that promise.

OK, I give in. Maybe it is possible that Steve Irwin is as stupid as he looks. I had hitherto believed that he was just putting on an act, on the basis that no one could possibly be that dumb & still be so successful. However his recent antics have forced me to re-evaluate this opinion.
After all, this is completely straightforward. What could possibly go wrong?

Thing is, most of that is an act. If you've ever watched "Croc Diaries", you'll see how he really acts when he's not doing "Crocodile Hunter". He actually can be really damn serious when it comes to running the zoo.Morrigan wrote:OK, I give in. Maybe it is possible that Steve Irwin is as stupid as he looks.

I'll take your word for it. I have no intention of ever watching Croc Diaries or any other Irwin escapade as, act or no, Steve Irwin annoys the shit out of me. However I do accord him some grudging admiration for cracking the US market where so may other Australians have failed.Vertigo1 wrote:Thing is, most of that is an act.

Yeah, he cracked his way into our public conciousness. He did it by perpetuating the stereotype that Aussies are a bunch of bushwhacking hicks in crocodile skin boots (a la Paul Hogan).
