Croc Bait

People are stupid, none moreso than celebrities whose careers are failing. Despite Mr. Irwin's defense of his actions, I can see that child is in danger just by how he is holding him. This kid is ONE month old. I just spent time with my two month old neice and although she is beginning to hold her head up, we all still provided some support in case she should have one of those "Who's in charge of these things" muscles spasms that babies always have. Irwin's boy could have hurt himself with one of those spasms or fallen from his arm after a wiggle-worm moment, not to mention the very obvious danger of having a crocodile nipping at his toes. Steve Irwin has the right to put himself in that kind of danger for publicity, but he DOES NOT have the right to place his child there. If we aren't allowed to drive without children safely buckled up for fear of what MIGHT happen, then this kind of thing shouldn't be allowed either. Sadly enough, it comes down to what is and isn't allowed because nitwits like Steve Irwin can't be trusted to make intelligent decisions about things like this.
