Rambles and Riff Raff about all this and that

The Steve Irwin effect

Published by Esteban Glas on September 5th, 2006 | This post lacks all category except for: Web

Looking at technocrati today I was amazed by the humongous number of tags and searches Steve Irwin’s death generated. Words like Steve Irwin, Death, Australia, or Crocodile Hunter are being searched by thouthands (if not millions) of people around the globe.

Even more interesting is the ammount of blogs (like this one) mentioning the Aussie crocodrile dundee redux.

I’m preaty sure he got good audiences on his TV show, but he might not imagined his death would cause  such an effect.

I guess it’s true what they say: tragedy makes great marketing. Shame on us.

    I think that steve irwins death caused an emotional outbreak to many. As an effect of this people started revenge killings on sting rays.

    I dont blame them for what they did but that is not what he would wnat. He loved animals that is why he was with the stingray.

    So dont hate the stingrays just think of what steve has taught us.
  • Steve was kind of kooky but he did so much for the environment and animals. He poured all the millions he made into preserving the wildlife and the environment and I just think we should all pay our respects. He was not just a nationally recognised symbol but international. I just hope that his spirit lives on in many other Australians out there and we all chip in to save the environment form needless destruction.
    Peace out and long live the croc hunter.
