The bloke knew what he was doing IMHO. While it may look stupid to us, he is more familiar with crocodiles than most.

The only thing he did that was dumber than his Michael Jackson impersonation was his complete suck up to George Bush when he came out. Now if ever there was a case of Dumb and Dumber...

No matter how stupid the act was, atleast the kid was in safe hands, with all them handlers around the pit. If you looked closely when he was dancing the baby around the croc there was a guy holding the croc the camera only just cought the guys shadow. So although the stunt was stupid, it was a safe stupid stunt.

Like he said on the Tv afterwards, He lives in a different enviroment to us, his kids are going to grow up around crocs.
He didnt slip, and no one got hurt- apart from his ego
Get Over it really !!

haha- My cousin has a salt water croc in his backyard in Ballarat, but its still only little and eating mice. Hasnt worked its way up to bigger things yet...

ah well.... the point i'm trying to make is that he is a professional, he obviously knew what he was doing otherwise he wouldnt have done it. The media should just get off his back... the baby is fine now so why dont they just leave it at that?

I guess the media were only going on because they saw Steve Irwin doing something stupid with his kid, before even getting the story from both sides they decided that he was a dangerous idiot, that endangered his kids life. Which is why there was such a big deal over it.

Dyso,

Good to see you back.

OK if we now go back to our usual beat up routine. Great ambassador for Australia !!!! Maaate, what have you been drinking over Chrissy??? You obviously are still under the influence. The man's a bloody characature. FFS, bring back Sir Les Patterson is we're going that way, at least he was moderately amusing.

With regards to NP34's family croc, why not just point him in the direction of the nearest Carlton supporters. Think of it's activities as being in the interests of community service.

Don't be cruel to the crocs, you wouldn't find any meat on a Carlton supporter, they are starving themselves to pay for Elliot's legacy.
