Crikey! The Discovery Channel Can’t Turn Down A Paycheck, Huh?
In today’s poor taste news (as usual, there was tons to choose from), the Discovery Channel will air the documentary, prophetically titled “Oceans Deadliest”, that the Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin was filming when he caught a fatal stingray barb to the heart. First Bill Maher (he never said he was politically correct) showed up at a Halloween party dressed as Irwin, post-stingray. Now this:
“The documentary was commissioned, we finished it and it’s going to air,” said John Stainton, Irwin’s former manager and friend. “It’s been a long and arduous saga…an emotionally charged time to do an edit on a documentary that did have a deadline, and we did have to honor that deadline.”
Footage in the one-off special was recorded in the weeks and days leading up to Irwin’s death, though nothing shot the day of his fatal accident will be included in the documentary.
Thankfully, the actual death scene will not be televised, but two hours of Steve Irwin recklessly handling the deadliest creatures the ocean has to offer promises to be just a teensy bit morbid. Don’t you think? [Source]
