Rant time.

Opinions are like assholes; everyone has one and they all stink.

Lawl, Chaser. Singing songs mocking the dead is never a good idea, but hey, people love to be offended. Despite all the horrified comments from various politicians and the general public, one has to remember that most Australians loathed Steve Irwin when he was alive, him being the stereotypical Paul Hogan type who makes us look like a bunch of backward rednecks to the the rest of the world.

Stan Zemanek was quite possibly the most unappealing bottom-feeder ever to hit the airwaves, oozing with sexism and racism, all wrapped up in one big obnoxious ego. Good riddance.

Princess Di? Oh come on, women inparticular just LOVED to pick her apart when she was residing above ground. Nowadays when someone dare mentions the fact that she was actually lacking in intelligence and common sense the same people who bitched about the blonde bimbo rush to defened her.

My favourite allegations are "Oh noes, think about how da families must feel after hearin ppl speak shit on their fallen brothers!", as though someone in the public spotlight shouldn't be talked about as anything other than a saint when they've started pushing up daisies. If we're not allowed to discuss things out of respect for the dead we may as well be back in the dark ages.

I'm gonna go massacre a few thousand people with the firm  belief that the more I fuck up in life, the more I'll be worshipped when I get hit by a bus.

Can I help?

I'm sure you'd love it too if people started slandering your mother.

In any case, I thought Steve Irwin was a dickhead at times but I honestly loved the man for what he did for Aussie critter awareness.

Don't know Stan Zemanek. And I didn't know Princess Di until it happened. So I won't say good or bad things about either.

If I didn't like a person in life, I'm not going to turn them into saints when they pass on but at the same token I'd never wish anyone dead or be glad that they're dead (except perhaps the President of N*OVA and that's only because I STILL haven't been paid. ;P )
