Just saw a news flash, our ambassedor of Australia, Steve Irwin is in a critical condition after being stung by a sting ray off the east coast.
He was filming a new episode for one of his shows, and had a run in with a ray, he has been air lifted to, what i think was Darwin hospital. I hope this doesnt meen the end of one of Australias greatest TV programs. Say a little prayer for this fella. |

The man's a moron, and I'm embarrassed to have him so popular in the States. But I do hope he's ok, as he deserves his health as we all do.

RIP. You were right out there steve, a bit of a clown, but a real nice guy. Whilst we all had a laugh at your expense from time to time, i dont think anyone could genuinely wish harm upon you.
Thoughts go out to his family and friends.

RIP Steve Irwin
I can't say I was ever a huge fan but it is still very sad to see him die. He was way too young, and you have to give him credit for the way he became an international success. Not many park and wildlife rangers become famous throughout the world. Condolences to his family.

Can't say anything that hasn't already been said. That is a tragic loss of life and he was a great australian ambassador, love him or not.
An incredible success story and a very genuine, passionate and energetic personality. You will be missed mate. Thoughts to his family and loved ones.
