There are some people who cross the line and simply don't care. But don't expect others to sit back and not say anything about something they disapprove of.

Bill Maher has refused to apologize for wearing a Steve Irwin costume during Halloween. The costume, which mocked the death of the Crocodile Hunter, outraged fans nationwide.

The talk show host was recently seen wearing a bloody khaki shirt with a stingray barb sticking out of his chest. On his show HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher" he said that people should just leave him alone about the tasteless costume.

He said, "Stop hassling me about my Halloween costume. Yes, you've seen it on the internet. I went as the Crocodile Hunter with a bloody stinger in my chest.

He added, "People who really love animals understand if you get killed by one, chances are you were doing something to it you shouldn't have been."

Remember this the next time you hear this guy condemning President Bush or the U S Military. Always consider the source of any comment. Especially when it comes from a guy with no more respect for the family of Steve than this. He has no respect for any cause, person or deity! He's nothing but an empty ugly shell of a man with a smart mouth. Michael Wilson, Bowling Green, KY

Why didn't he dress up as a azzhole like he is and leave good people alone? Poor jerk, how does it feel to know so many people hate you? Your NOT funny, You look like a _ with your BIG nose, Hey good idea, You should have spent the money on a nose job instead of the stupid costume. GET A LIFE! Stop hassling him.ha! ha! ha! what a Joke.

I am so angry at this photo because not only is it wrong but the poor dude only got laid to rest not even 6 months ago.
You should be ashamed of yourself man.
Think of his family and how they would feel if they saw what this photo contains, give them enough time to greive before you start poking fun at their husband and father.

you are a friggin joke, what ?did you run out of material? How dare you! That is the most disrespectful thing I have ever seen.what if poor Terri or bindy or bob have seen this, put your self in someone elses shoes for once and grow a heart and think! That family has gone through hell and YOU think this to be funny.. you are twisted and heartless. If I ever come in contact with you.I will spit in your face, and that will show more respect to you than you have shown the entire Irwin family.loser!

That is some funny stuff! Glad someone had the balls to do it. People feel bad that Irwin passed but its his own damn fault for not being safe when dealing with WILD ANIMALS. If you watched his show, then common sense should have told you it was only a matter of time before he met his end. When I heard what happened, my first thought was "yup, I knew it was gonna happen at somepoint".

Shame on Irwin for putting himself in harms way and leaving a wife and child behind. If he is mocked, then so be it. He did it to himself by not taking measures to ensure his safety.

Good for Maher! It's his FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH to wear whatever Halloween costume he wants. Glad he's got the guts to do it and won't be intimidated by Irwin worshipers. That's the law, and we must obey it whether we want to or not, unlike that terrorist scum coward America-hating subhuman Bush. Maher is a political idiot for supporting Demopubs instead of Greens or radical socialists. But he is a hero for atheism and for pointing out idiocy, such as the extreme hypocritical politically correct crybabies who loved Steve Irwin showing animals in nature murdering and eating each other. But, suddenly, when nature kills Irwin, they all rush to censor the video.

Maher is hilarious, get a sense of humor.
