SHOT THROUGH THE HEART

...by a sting ray!

I love you.

 

[bathhouseterror]

RIP Steve Irwin

You almost had to expect he'd die in some manner other than what you'd usually expect. He was so good at the usual stuff, I guess this freak sort of thing was really gonna happen.

 

[Guzim]

Damn. I loved watching his show with my dad too.

R.I.P.

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART

...by a sting ray!

In bad taste!

Spoiler

but I still laughed

 

[Link648099]

There is some humor to this, but to be honest, I am sad over this. I'm surprised too, it isn't like i knew him. Not that it wouldn't be sad otherwise, but I am genuinely sad...

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART



...by a sting ray!

Oh god that was terrible.. but really funny. :lol

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Bullshit!

 

[YakiSOBA]

That sucks!

Just incase anyone is too lazy to look it up (i nearly was):

Stingrays do not actually attack. Injuries from these sharklike creatures are usually defensive actions. Once disturbed, their venomous stinger (spine) near the base of their tails lashes out and can cause punctures or lacerations (cuts).

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Wow, thats a bit of a shock

 

[WalkMan]

Jerry Irwin, Stingray Hunter.

 

[Almighty_Chocobo]

Wow that thing looks huge...
Maybe it's just the camera perspective...

 

[Fusebox]

I've swum with some massive SR's before being careful not to go near their tails. I'd put up pics but I dont want to subject anyone to seeing my bare chest.

 

[Viddie]

I don't see how anybody could find this funny,

Apparantly his wife is trekking in Tasmania and doesn't know yet..

 

[NotWii]

YOU MONSTER!
I HATE YOU!!

 

[neptunes]

That's rather unfourtunate

 

[Great Rumbler]

I never would have guessed he'd be killed by something like. It's just so bizarre.

And I really like sting rays.

Oh dang...that's cruel... ...

 

[The Faceless Master]

OMG, I hope that's not true. The news just keeps getting worse. :'(

 

[speedpop]

OMG, I hope that's not true. The news just keeps getting worse. :'(

Aye, updated the first post for it. I feel sorry for the family.

 

[Viddie]

It's been confimed, his wife and kids are in Tassie and have no idea yet.
Terrible terrible news.

 

[MIMIC]

OMG, I hope that's not true. The news just keeps getting worse. :'(

I heard the same exact thing somewhere else.

Really sad.

 

[neptunes]

That's even worse :/

 

[Unresponsive Bee Victim]

Poor man, this truly sad.

 

[drohne]

all condolences to his family, but when a man makes his living irritating dangerous animals...

 

[DrForester]

This is sad, poor guy.


YTMND.com is exploding.

[Kuroyume]

All crocodiles should join forces to kill all stingrays. @_@ This is so ****ed up.

RIP Dude

 

[Link648099]

Wow, I'm nto even sure what to say about this. This is really sad.

 

[Snaku]

Aye, updated the first post for it. I feel sorry for the family.

Imagine her hearing it on a radio, seeing it on a tele, or in a newspaper when she returns. Dead panic, false hope, and utter devastation is where that leads. This is terrible on so many levels.

 

[Stoney Mason]

all condolences to his family, but when a man makes his living irritating dangerous animals...

Your an idiot.

 

[Yamauchi]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MetalAlien]

Steve Irwin dies by animal attack..

In other news.

Michael Jackson, comes out of the closet.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes separate
President Bush goes on vacation, from his vacation.
Bill Gates, buys something.
Iraq, still a mess.
Superman Returns directors cut TBR, now worth watching.


alright that last one was just a wish.. sorry.

EDIT:

It is believed Mr Irwin's American-born wife Terri is trekking on Cradle Mountain in Tasmania and is yet to be told of her husband's death.

YIKES!

 

[Laguna X]

****. This is terrible news.

RIP Mr. Irwin. You will be missed.

 

[NomarTyme]

. Wow, this is a shock. RIP.

 

[Yamauchi]

**** NO!

 

[brandonh83]

Your an idiot.

It's true. This was inevitable, though highly unfortunate. He was awesome.

 

[FiRez]

I read this on /b
and I thought it was fake....


.
I'm so going to hell

 

[davepoobond]

wtffffffffffff


at least he made his own feature length movie before passing on. we'll have him forever encased in film history.

 

[Stoney Mason]

It's true. This was inevitable, though highly unfortunate. He was awesome.

It's true he lead a life dealing with dangerous animals. The dumbass sentiment in the original post wasn't true imo nor is it really necessary to hear 50 people say. "I knew he would die". Bully for you psychics. You win a cookie. You can can stop being asses now.

 

[suaveric]

Jerry Irwin, Stingray Hunter.

Stingray hunted

 

[TheDuce22]

That sucks. I used to love watching his show.

 

[whytemyke]

anyone else have a problem with the press and world knowing about it before his wife does? I thought news agencies had policies on these things, where they didnt report names until the next of kin was notified.

 

[WalkMan]

Stingray hunted

I was implying that his son would probably take up where his father left up and would star in a hit show, The Stingray Hunter.

 

[Kangu]

I wonder how this could have happened? Was he just not paying attention?

"The giant stingray is one of the most dangerous animals in the entire ocean. Its razor sharp barb can impale human flesh like melted butter and kill almost anything instantaneously. Lets go see if we can catch one!"


I imagine it went something like that.

 

[Yamauchi]

I'm in shock. Steve can't be dead.

I think it's easy to misinterpret posts on a message board, but I actually wasn't saying it with any sarcastic or smart ass intent at all. I just don't find this very surprising.

Big news more important than little feelings

 

[Amir0x]

holy shit

If she hears it over the radio or reads it in the paper, DAMN!
