Crikey!

So, Steve Irwin is dead. Death by stingray - what a way to go. At least it was doing something he loved.

That said, it disturbs me a little how cheery some people are about his death. Yeah, he was a bit of an idiot and promoted a horrendously cliched image of Australia. But he also did a lot of conservation and all, and had a wife and kids, and for all the manner of his death is amusing, in an ironic sort of way, being happy because he is dead just seems a little heartless.

On a more cheery note, some more fun stuff from dw_anon: The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny (featuring Nos and Kammgirl); Steve/Dave slashers FTW!; A "Doctor loves them all" comic; a Steven Moffat vs Rusty bitchfight; a rather nice post-Doomsday minific; a ship second in awesomeness only to Dish; a friending meme, of all things; Ood porn; an explanation of Steve Irwin's death (!!);

Oh, and there's this thread about me. Which is mostly positive, but the bits that aren't positive are... enlightening. I'm a female hating slasher WTF? Oh, and elsewhere I'm a Romana fan.

Which reminds me, I must get around to watching my City of Death DVD one of these days...

Oh, and we have Video footage of the Doctor/Martha handporn.

I've had a lot of the 'Yay! he'z ded' on my flist and I'm totally headdesking over it. I ralise it's not cool to admit - but I rather liked him. To me it's like cheering over David Attenborough getting eaten by penguins or something.

Is it wrong that the mental image of Attenborough getting eaten by penguins makes me giggle?

I think it comes down to people react. They don't need to get all upset about it, just... not actively enjoy the fact he's dead, if that makes sense.

There have been some funny metaquotes about it, mind.
