I don't know if anyone watches his show, but I think he's awesome. Totally nuts, but awesome. I was just wondering if anyone on Massassi watched his show or thought he was cool (or nuts).

Who knows, Maybe Spork's even been to his zoo!

(I sense an 0wn3d pic coming...)

He's a total idiot....and he was Queenslander of the Year in 2003. I am so ashamed of my state that words just can't describe it.

What makes you hate him that badly?

He does insanely stupid things, says insanely stupid things and for some reason is now an 'icon' of our country despite the aforementioned insanely stupid things. It's embarrassing, honestly.

If you want him though, Spork and I will see if we can arrange shipping, he's worn out his welcome here

Well, he obviously knows enough about animals to stay out of their reach. It just appears more dangerous than it is. However, he does not know much about the media animals. He picked a fight with them over that baby incident and they tore him to shreads!

He puts on that act because Americans like over-the-top antics, but Australians hate it! We perfer the "Bushtucker Man" and the "Leyland Brothers" over a clown like Irwin.

Its funny because he shouts strange words when he grins.

------------------
Drugs & Stupidity, Tons of it.

I don't think *any* Australian respects him. I've been to the zoo; nothing special.

It's funny right up until uneducated slack-jawed Americans (some of which I've had the pleasure of meeting) assume that we all talk, act, and dress like Steve Irwin or Paul Hogan. Then it's hilarious.

Hey, if you don't talk like Paul Hogan, you should start!

Anyway, I saw some episodes where this guy was doing some really good things for various animals that were abused and imprisoned in tiny cages.

Most Australian's I talk to think I'm American, most American's I talk to think I live with a kangaroo. :/ Meh.

American's love Irwin because his character basis begun with Crockadile Dundee, a slighty exaggerated portrayal of a "crok hunter", a simple bloke from outback Australia. Irwin just takes it to a higher level of exaggeration to attract the oversea's crowds that have no idea that Australians are really very simular to themselves, apart from a very, VERY mild difference in accent - nothing near what Irwin tries to portray, except for in some remote outback parts of the country, in which characters like Crokadile Dundee originated. I'd describe the difference in accent being a very blurred line between an English accent and a general American accent.
If you knew of people like the "Bushtacker Man" and the Leyland Brothers, as UGG mentioned, you'd realize why we don't like Irwin. All he's doing is adding fule to the fire of ignorant forigners thinking that our country is filled with weird talking folk that wrestle croks for a living. If you want that sort of Adventure, then be prepared for a good 7 hour [or 3 day, depending on how "adventurous" you are] car trip through desert country, or an over-priced ticket to Irwin's crappy "zoo" (read: circus).

Frankly, I think it was better when he was just a local boy from Darwin putting on a silly show for the locals and the occasional tourists that passed through the area. Now it's just ridiculous.

I like him. He's nuts. But I like him.

that crocodile is gorgeus. I think he is laughing in the arizona and wathing big corocodile's. He is happy with his life, like to get on TV and show what he is doing. And he got lots of many and a good kid and a loving life.

A PERFECT LIFE !!!

But he is a little stopid, but keep in mind:
THAT CROCODILE IS GORGEUS!!!

I liked the one where he almost got his leg bitten off by the Komodo dragon!

Actually, I've known some Austrailians, and they're not all like that. So there.

However, Austrailian accents are still mostly awesom, second only to Russian accents.

And one more thing, what the heck is up with Aussie Rules Football? That's just wierd!

Heh, I've driven past it on the way to Noosa - does that count?



Blah, give me Russell Coight's All Aussie Adventures anytime.

Raynar

Yeah, even I don't know what the hell that game is about.



Amen.

Wait a second. You're telling me not all Aussies act that way? Well, screw you

specially scince more zoos are starting programs where you can go in and vistit the animals.

I the canberra national zoo and aqarium, they now have things like meet a cheatah as well as the adopt an animal perks.

If you donate a certain amount of money, you got to get into the zoo at any time you want for free. If you became a silver member or above, you got to go in and meet the animal you sponsered.

[edit] also, you don't need to drive an more than an hour out of the city to get to it(it is between the main residentual area and the comercial/residentual area.[/edit]

yeah... but paul hogan only does it because he gets paid to in his movies and tv shows. Steve Irwin does it for real.

He does it for American TV viewers. Believe me.

Aussie Rules is the greatest spectator sport in the world, ever. Extremely free-flowing and exciting play, highly athletic players who can run 100 meters in 10.5 seconds jump 2 meters off the ground and tackle each other harder than American Football (all without protective gear), and high scoring games often featuring over 20 goals per team... What more could you ask for?

Um, you forgot to say "crikey."

Right on, Raynar! Russell Coight is a fair dinkum legend.

only because you do sometimes though..

<Kroko> Massassi is like Nazi Germany online, only it's not in Germany.

don't ask.... relic of the 70's/80's

at least they dropped the moustaches and mullets. well actually no that's a bad thing

yeah, i'll chip in for shipping jaiph & spork

on another note, my mate used to play JK on the zone in 1998, when americans asked him what was happening when he occasionaly had bursts of really bad lag, he'd tell them it was koalas chewing on the phonelines

LOL

Ugh! It's torture! You get dragged along and then you don't even know how long you're gonna be stuck there because the period counters don't stop counting when they should, so every second after 30 minutes you're just thinking "please... please... please now...".

And I wasn't even able to read a book!

[/childhood trauma]

That makes it even more exciting, cos the game could end any second.

I think you mean "it's exciting when the game ends, because it sucks." You should work on your English, Spork...

Heads up Aussies! Irwin and Terri are on Enough Rope tonight (ABC 9:30pm). Should be lots of fun! Denton is great at getting people to say things they shouldn't. Isn't that right, Lisa Marie Presley?

Meh, never really liked Enough Rope.. I might watch it.
