Steve Irwin's dead????

rss feed for this post's comments

And I quote from recent press/media stories:

"Hero of the people.. was doing what he loved and was passionate about... loved by everyone... household name... national figure"

What a shame.

It turns out he crashed whilst trying to break the world land speed....

... er....

... hold on a second.

That's not Steven Irwin. He died underwater via a stringray.

The media are talking about.... erm... wassisname. The young guy with enthusiasm. Blows up caravans in the name of science. Drives cars alot in some motor show.

Oh, god, what's he called?

He's a househould name, isn't he? I should know his name! National hero, just like Steve Irwin, whose name I DO remember, even though I'm not an Aussie.

Hmmmm.

Methinks the media are just dieing for Mr Car Crash to ... er ... die, just so we can have a huge national wave of grief (like wot when Diana was murdered by the Royal Family for dating a muslim), and to prove we're just as good as the Aussies.

Get a grip, Mssrs Media People.

What is his name, anyway?

Richard Hammond, try watching Top Gear - no you don't have to be a car nut to enjoy, fine presenter, seems to be all round decent guy...

Personally more intresting to me than a guy who fights with crocs.

Didn't say he wasn't a decent guy. Just disgusted at the media's attempt to make him a national hero.
