I never said anything about him, good, bad or otherwise and for the record, would be deeply saddened should you die, Nathan. I only commented on the fact that it was interesting how people bash someone and then suddenly express how sad they are that they are gone. I would also find it weird if someone were saying what a dork my husband was and then come to me saddened if he were gone. I often find human nature interesting and enjoy talking about it. It can be screwy sometimes. People are interesting. That’s all.

Stever Irwin was awsome, already a legend. People imitate him way more than they mock him, if they mock him at all. His death is a tragedy for the entire world.

Hmm, I don’t think anyone here was pissing on him or disrespecting him in any way… just commenting on how it seems like that’s mostly what other people seem to have done until now.

i’m sorry, that was a little over the top. obviously i relate to the guy in many ways.

also, it was sara that said he was genuine. sorry to miss quote.

he was endearing and, as lisa said, very genuine. i imagine if someone made a show of my life, i’d come out pretty clownish as well, which is why it is especially offencive to me when people act all [something] when the class clown dies.

so you were only exposed to the “schtick” and decided that his only contribution to the world was as a idiot to be pissed on, because all you ever did was piss on him. you never once concidered that some people (like me) might have been really and truly touched by his work and his art. i did silly impressions in my own home because i look up to him and admire what he did with his life. the same way i play a great song on my guitar.

yes, i’m taking this personally because this is my life too. i hope you don’t say such things about me when i am dead.

I have watched his show a few times and seen many interviews with him. I even saw his movie. All the times I have seen him he seemed to be a real genuine guy. Like he wasn’t puting on a show for the cameras. I think that is one reason he was so well liked.

His shtick is what people loved, I watched a few shows and I would try to do some funny lines with an accent or I would say that he’s crazy but I enjoyed it as well. So just because people “mock” him or make skits off of him or anyone else that doesn’t mean they dislike him or want to discredit him.

SNL makes fun of everyone and a lot of the times the people come to host the show because they know it’s a joke.

I think it stinks he died but I think he went out the way he wanted, through an adventure and not some crazy car accident or heart attack or something.
