Ok, apparently the episode of South Park that is going to air on Wednesday in the USA features Steve Irwin in hell:

http://au.news.yahoo.com/060920/2/10ly7.html
Spoiler warning - the article DOES go into details of the plot line.

Anyway, do you think its too soon? Personally, i dont. South Park takes the mickey out of everyone and everything - why should Steve Irwin be excluded?
Now i know that his death was tragic, and i acknowledge that, and i can see why some will see this as poor taste, mainly for the reason it is 'too soon' - but i think that its time to move on. I really hope this doesnt turn into a situation similar to the scientology saga.

What do people think?

Who cares? The only time people complain about South Park is when it offends them. Fact is, it's always offensive. Deal with it.

Oh, not you people again. Why should we care about him any more than any other random dead person?

Yup. At any rate, who honestly thinks Steve Irwin would have been offended?

ironic that they already killed him off in a previous series, and now this comes up.

Steve would love every second of it, the guy loved a laugh.

Are you sure?

He did feature in last Wednesdays episode. At Satans Halloween party. Where he got chucked out for not being in costume.

You can find details of the episode, including the air date, here.

OMGZOMG

There was an episode a while back with cartman imitating him after watching him on TV or something. He was imitating his accent etc. It was sooooo funny I peed a litle. If he does it again I'm all for it but its just a retarded not funny SP episode where the motto is to just piss off some people (they did that few times recently) than I say... fail.

I think it's too soon and in bad taste to do something about a dead person. But, as most everyone has said, it's South Park. If you watch South Park not expecting rude humor, you must never watch the show in the first place.

That really was a while back - 7 or 8 years, something like that...

Have none of you seen the episode?

Stop speculating and just watch it.

*SPOILER*
The joke is about it being too soon to wear a Crocodile Hunter costume - although it is actually Steve Irwin, who then gets kicked out for not having a costume.
