Steve Irwin & the South Park Sketch

Vote on whether you think it was ok for the makers of The South Park Show to include a sketch about Steve Irwin in their show so soon after his tragic death.

This is one reaction when the details were first released:-

`South Park' creators have outraged fans of the late Steve Irwin by poking fun at his death.

The latest episode of the satiric sketch, entitled 'Hell On Earth 2006', shows the 'Crocodile Hunter' attending a fancy dress party in Hell - along with the late Princess Diana and Hitler - with a stingray poking out of his bleeding chest. Irwin is then kicked out of the party by the Devil because he isn't in fancy dress.

The scenes have sparked outrage among fans and media regulators because they appear to ridicule the wildlife expert's shocking death in September, when a stingray's barb pierced his chest while he was snorkelling near the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

British broadcasting watchdog Mediawatch branded the episode "grossly insensitive".

Mediawatch director, John Beyer, said: "This is bad taste. Steve Irwin's family is still grieving. To lampoon somebody's death like this is unacceptable."

'South Park' makers Comedy Central have defended the controversial episode, saying it is no different from their usual work.

A spokesman said: "It has offended people in the past and probably will again. Regular watchers would not be shocked."

I agree. I mean i think they did it to lighten the mood of the topic a little, but they should have waited.
