Steve Irwin really gone?
September 6th 2006 01:07
Call me an optimist - but i don't think our mate Steve is dead! Now I was never a fan, in fact you could say I detested the man - hated the mockery that he brought to Australia.
When I was travellng in USA in December a year ago, a very serious looking muslim lady came over and asked me directions, when I said I didn't know my way around that area she screeched "I LOVE STEVE IRWIN! Geedoi Moite! It's a big one!' O my god, let me find a rock to hide under... No wait, Steve would probably get me by the neck and wrestle me out of there!
My Canadian husband also adores...Adored the man. Also attempting bad impersonations of Steve's accent which in itself seems like a bad impersonation to me, and end with "He's the best Aussie that ever lived!" Well thanks honey, I guess squeezing your huge baby daughter out of my teeny tiny giny eeny didn't rate high in your books, no that was easily surpassed by some tool in shorts grabbing dangerous animals and dangling his newborns near their gaping snapping mouths... Sheesh.
Anyhoo apparently a freakish accident occured and a sting-rays barb went through his chest (does it have to swim backwards to sting?). True to the nature of an outback hero, he looked down and bravely pulled the barb out, then drifted off to the great television station in the sky.
But I don't think it's true, I think it's all publicity. He's not dead, he's living with Tupac, Santa and my dad somewhere experiencing the good life. I bet you anything, true to 'dead' celebrity form - we'll continue to see TV spin offs, 'archival' footage, an unpublished book and merchandise be released by 'Steve Irwin's family', aka Steve. Brilliant PR I say! Strueth mate you got a beauty!
