Not funny at all

Quote:

South Park's creators have provoked outrage by sending Steve Irwin to hell in the latest episode of the cartoon.

In the show, the animated Irwin goes to a 'Hell on Earth' party with a stingray sticking out of his bleeding chest.

Hundreds of guests turn up at the party dressed as dead celebrities including Princess Diana, the rapper Notorious B.I.G. and Hitler. But Satan receives complaints from his guests that someone is inappropriately dressed up as Steve Irwin.

The devil confronts the Australian TV presenter and asks him to leave but Irwin insists he is not dressed up and it really is him - come back from the dead. Eventually Satan believes him but he is kicked out anyway - because he is not in fancy dress.

A spokesman told London's Metro newspaper: "South Park has been pushing people's buttons for more than 10 years. It has offended people in the past and probably will again. Regular watchers would not be shocked."

John Beyer, director of media watchdog Mediawatch, told the newspaper that the episode was "grossly insensitive".

"I think this is in bad taste... Steve Irwin's family are still grieving and I am sure they will be grieving for a long time. To lampoon somebody's death like that is unacceptable and so soon after the event is grossly insensitive."

What a disgrace!!!!!. I used to think they were funny but this is going too far.
I'm so angry with these people that I cannot even feel sorry for them.
I wonder what their life theme is... probably something to do with being a !@%&@!@#.
I just hope Steve's kids never get to see that.... All the things in the world they could have poked fun at .... Angry

Peace.

I heard a few jokes on a radio station that made me feel really sick about it. I think there's just something about him that really had drawn people's attention. I mean not only did he take so many risks but he was unique and funny. Sometimes the wrong people get drawn in because someone who's profound influences a lot of people.
It made me feel empathy for him and decide not to listen to that station anymore and of course they're always using sick humour. I just think people really go too far. There's too much sick humour out there and I can't stand any of it.

Well I'm always one to add the opposing and usually controversial opinion in any forum and here it is.

Do you think Steve Irwin is watching up there in spirit, mumbling and grumbling about this and the jokes or is he perhaps sat up there with a little smile, flattered that he has his own little cartoon character now and people are making jokes about him? And if you are offended by the South Park people isn't that part of the learning process here on earth to have our buttons pushed and to be offended and upset?

Senote,

You are right, of course, as far as you went, but we still know right from wrong and are personally responsible for our actions. Being here certainly doesn't excuse us from that.

Isn't part of the reason we reincarnate into so many lives so that we can live the full extent of the human experience ie male and female, good and bad and evil, doctor, murder, genius, mentally handicapped, athlete, physically handicapped black, white, beautiful, ugly, rich, poor and so on. So for the creators of South Park they are living the life where they, while knowing the difference between right and wrong, get to do what they want to anyway.
