Bill Maher's Halloween costume

There's a difference between being politically incorrect and being disrespectful. This was a dumb thing for him to do.

What do you expect from him? He is a complete idiot after all.

haha, that looks nothing like a stingray barb! It would have been more effective if he had a whole damn stingray hanging off his chest. 🙂

Heh, just like I posted in the southpark thread a few days ago. I'll re-post it here.

From a listserve populated by professionals working in public zoos and aquariums:
Apparently there has been a run on the stuffed animal stingrays along with the kid size zookeeper outfits. Folks intend to sew the rays to the front and send the kids out on Halloween as Steve Irwin. Man that's harsh.

no he's not... he's not the best comedian, but he brings up lots of good talking points. he's a very intelligent guy.

that said, he's a douche sometimes... this is one of those times. too soon...
 
You guys are behaving like lemmings.

When is it not 'too soon'? At what point does it become 'ok'? Six months? A year? Ten years? The next generation of people? When the 'people involved' have healed enough?

Everything is totally arbitrary. I thought Steve Irwin was a great entertainer/educator and I enjoyed watching his shows as much as anyone else, but if I saw someone dressed up as him tomorrow night I'd shrug my shoulders and move on instead of getting as incensed as some of you seem to be getting.

Just because our emotions mirror each others doesn't mean we're "behaving like lemmings." We just happen to be more empathetic than you and it's still too soon for some of us.
 
Steve Irwin held his newborn son in front of a crocodile's open jaws. That's my reason for attaching a stingray to my shirt this halloween...

I'm plenty empathetic and I wouldn't wear a costume like that either. However, my either extends to never. You still haven't defined what 'too soon' is.
