Hey, it’s Halloween tonight and you know what that means… it means turn out the lights and eat the candy yourself because let’s face it, you paid for it. I watched the South Park Halloween special last week where Satan had a party and apparently everyone is in this big uproar because they showed Steve Irwin with a stingray sticking out of his chest. Now it wasn’t the fact that they actually showed him that outraged everybody, it was the fact that it was so soon after he died.
I found this out by reading various message boards where people were absolutely appalled that they would show Steve like this less than two months after it happened. The sad part was the only argument that was really made was that it was too soon after his death and they shouldn’t have made fun of him like that. I mean my god, the guy just died on September 4th of this year. I’m sure if he had died oh say, March 9, 1997 then he could have been in the show and nobody would have been upset. If it’s not right to show Irwin for less than a minute then you probably shouldn’t have the kids standing in front of a mirror saying Biggie Smalls three times in a row waiting for a murdered rapper to appear. Of course B.I.G. has been dead for over 9 years, so there’s apparently more humor in that.
