Irwin was a happy, energetic, fun guy and an entertainer- I think he'd find it hilarious.
And i'm not making fun of him. I'm not mocking him for dying the way he did. I'm not calling him names or saying anything mean about him. He died from a stingray barb to the heart, and that's that. How long does a person have to be dead before the imaginary "it's been long enough" barrier dissolves?
Also: everyone dead is someone's dead son or daughter.
I don't look on death as a morbid, depressing, terrible horrible thing. Partly because of my job, and partly because I just feel that death is death. There are a lot of people and many entire cultures that agree with me. Death is the opportunity to celebrate the life that is lost.
Also also: i'm not going trick-or-treating to his widow's house. I'm dressing up halfway around the globe and going to a party.
And that's IF i even do it. It was only an idea. There's no harm or disrespect intended to Irwin- and I still think he'd find it funny.
