Watch this video clip of the crocodile hunter (aka Steve Irwin) feeds
crocodile with his baby on one hand. After feeding the croc, he's like
playing barbie and ken right in from the croc.! This is outrageous! I
can't bare this!

If you think Michael Jackson is bad..this is 10 times worse!

As Irwin explained, it's a matter of "perceived danger". He makes his stunts
look a lot more dangerous than they really are. That's his showmanship and why
he's popular. Yes, he shouldn't have done it in front of a rolling camera, as
he admitted, because it does point out that a lot of the situations he places
himself in for his tv programs are made to appear much riskier than they really
are.

It appeared to me that he handled the stunt quite expertly--at all times he
kept himself between the croc and the baby, and he kept a constant eye on what
the croc was doing. His daughter has made it age five now without being nipped
by a crocodile, so I assume Irwin knows a bit about protecting his kids from
the wild animals in his zoo.

I never cared for that croc hunter and never could understand how he could
be given so much air time. How much of that can any one person watch? He
is on constantly. The ones who will be impressed with his stupid baby act
will be immature kids or adults, macho wannabes. Hopefully they won't try
to emulate it. A wild animal is just that, wild.

Tomorrow doesn't look good either.

He is probably one of the most irritating people on TV. His constant
super enthusiasm has to be either phoney or drug induced.

What we forget when we see him escape from the fangs of a poisionous
snake, or the jaws of an enraged croc is that the animal really didn't
charge him at all, but charged the cameraman who we never see.

It's the cameraman who has the most dangerous job. I just hope he gets
some good pictures when the giant croc finally gets to eat Baby Bob.

I'm sure the kid was safe.... he's just more the fraud now.......
