Bad taste? Steve Irwin at Satan's Hallowe'en party

The creators of South Park have never been afraid to upset celebrities - and many of the show's viewers. From jokes about religion and ****sexuality to four-letter tirades, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have always mixed shock tactics with satire in the hit cartoon series.

But they were accused of hitting a new low last night after lampooning the demise of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin just weeks after his death. The latest episode shows an animated Irwin in Hell with a stingray poking out of his bleeding chest.

Irwin, 44, died in September after he was impaled by a stingray's barb, while snorkelling near the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. The South Park episode called Hell On Earth 2006, which was broadcast in the US this week, shows Satan preparing to host a Hallowe'en fancy dress party. Hundreds of dead celebrities are invited, including rapper Notorious B.I.G., Princess Diana and Hitler.

But at the party Satan receives complaints from his guests that someone is inappropriately dressed up as Irwin. Satan confronts Irwin but the Aussie environmentalist protests it is really him, not a guest in a costume.

While characters have been killed off in the series before – spawning the show's catchphrase "Oh my god, they killed Kenny!" – campaigners are particularly incensed about the stingray still being attached to Irwin's bloodstained trademark khaki shirt. British broadcasting watchdog Mediawatch condemned the episode as "grossly insensitive."
Its director, John Beyer, said: "I think this is in bad taste. Steve Irwin's family are still grieving." "To lampoon somebody's death like that is unacceptable and so soon after the event is grossly insensitive. It is not what the family would want to see." South Park maker Comedy Central defended the episode. A spokesman said: "It has offended people in the past and probably will again. Regular watchers would not be shocked."

I laugh at everything so I can see the humor in it. But, I don't watch South Park soooo....

wgknestrick · 10-27-2006, 10:21 PM

It was funny and not out of place. They even made fun of themselves by mentioning that "it's just too soon to dress like that" to Steve, then they (Satin's group) found out it really was Steve at the party. I didn't see anything that put Steve or Steve's character in a negative point of view on the show.

South Park is only offensive to people it should be, because it's only the truth that hurts. I didn't think they hit any "new" low with that. People that they've made fun of just try to bring them down by making "news" stories about this ****. Best show on TV for the last 3 years. I just love how people attack South Park on a moral basis, but it probably is about the most (good) moral teaching show on TV now (and I am totally serious about that statement).

I agree...its funny most people don't understand where they're coming from.

S4toSTI · 10-27-2006, 10:30 PM

Can't say i am very offended at all. People who get offended by things like this that aren't members of the mans family need to shut up. And its telivision if you don't like it... TURN IT OFF.

S4toSTI · 10-27-2006, 10:31 PM

201Motorsports · 10-28-2006, 01:01 AM

I just saw the episode... I didn't think it was too poor in taste. I laughed.

ITSTOCK · 10-28-2006, 09:41 AM

LMFAO. In most cases, I would argue that it was insensitive. HOWEVER, satan himself said it was too soon. A bunch of people at the party stated the same thing

In the end, South Park (as noted already) makes a good attempt at putting morals at the top of the list (usually do to Cartman).
