    Is this the one where he dresses up as the Crocodile Hunter with a stingray's stinger in his chest? I think he should have gone as a 9/11 terrorist. Far more topical for him.

    Maybe he was going as a migrant farmer who stirred up a nest of giant wasps.

    South Park did it first, but then nobody expects SP to have decorum or shame.

    I know, he totally copied SP. I don't get why they can get to do it and nobody says much at all but then people go ape shit when Bill does it. Is it because it's a cartoon?

    I didn't see the South Park episode in question. But yes, it's a bit different when you're a real person.

    Just because I think he's an insensitive douchebag doesn't mean I'm going ape shit about it.

    So he's still an unfunny cockhead then? Good to see nothing has changed.

    Someone went as Steve Irwin to the party I went to last weekend. I gather it's a popular costume this year. Some people have morbid senses of humor.

    It's just sort of...gratuitous, I guess. Steve was a nice guy IRL, or at least portrayed one rather well. It'd be like going as dead Don Knotts or something. It sort of sounds funny, but then go on and introduce yourself to people and see the looks you'll get. I hope he goes to the Playboy mansion and all the playmates look at him like the aged unfunny creep he is.

    Well, I never said you were-- I was referring to the people who were posting comments on the link site. In fact this is your first post in this thread, so ... whaaaa?

    I still think Steve endangered his children needlessly on a consistent basis, but that's probably not the popular opinion in Australia.

    In the SP episode, they actually said that it was tasteless and inappropriate ... until he revealed that he was in fact steve irwin, and then was subsequently thrown out of the party for not having a costume.

    I thought the "tasteless" part for SP was implying he went to Hell?

    I'm amazed at how well he fits the stereotype of the decaying, degenerate hedonist. He has always been deeply creepy to me.

    Ghandi showed up in hell in the movie, I'm pretty sure that Stone and Parker do this on purpose to get peoples backs up.

    I remember the look on my Tamil roomates face when the Movie got to that scene

    "Why's Ghandi in hell!!!? What the fuck's that supposed to mean!!!"

    He's in there to get reactions like that Gobi, well done for keeping the film makers happy.

    Edit: To make sure i say that i don't think this necessarily makes it any less tasteless, just shows they have form.

    Maher can actually be quite funny sometimes. This isn't one of those times.

    According to South Park, only Mormons got it right and are allowed into Heaven. Also, God is Buddhist.

    Just warning off the generalizations that are sure to abound

    He also went to heaven to command an army of angels via a golden Playstation Portable.

    I guess when you die that many times, you gotta see the Gates at least once.
