Oh my god, South Park mocks Irwin
A few things need to be said:
A) In South Park EVERYONE goes to Hell but Mormons.
B) South Park’s episodes about Hell ALWAYS show a celebrity who has passed away only weeks earlier. Gene Siskel, Walter Mathau, JFK Jr., Lady Di… all have appeared “too soon”. That’s the joke here. Satan actually is concerned that someone has come dressed as Irwin and he thinks it’s insensitive.
C) For that matter, anyone who really knows their South Park would know that Steve Irwin was killed off in the show 8 years ago when he was fighting the defrosted iceman from 1996, was thrown from a train and turned to smithereens by the blades of a helicopter. So really, it’s not “too soon”.
The real controversy should be that he is shown holding a crappy Corona instead of a Foster’s “oil can.”
What bothered me the most was why he still had the stingray in him.
