#1 Steve Irwin would have been disgusted with this.

He was a truly great man, the best Australia has produced for half a century.

I was devastated, I cried.

It's amazing how the entire nation just loved him except for a couple of knob-heads here and there.

He really tried hard to save wildlife, and the animals that cannot save themselves.

Sadly, people have tried to exploit his memory already. One person caught scamming by putting a free memorial ticket for sale on Ebay for $50. Outraged fans soon stopped that little ruse.
Another woman was caught selling fake "wildlife warrior" stickers pretending to donate to his wildlife charity.

RIP Steve Irwin, we'll never see another character like you. You were the real deal.

You are sorely missed.

#2 I suspect that shortly there will appear on E-Bay "The actual Stinger that killed Erwin"

#4 This sort of idiocy is like demolishing all Porsche 550 Spyders in order to avenge the death of James Dean, only even more incredibly stupid.
