A Sting In The Tail For The Overweight

SOUTH Park's creators have made a cartoon poking fun at Crocodile Hunter
Steve Irwin's death as his daughter Bindi prepares to launch a fitness DVD
"taking the bite out of obesity".

South Park has revealed an episode in which Mr Irwin attends a fancy dress
party in hell with a stingray sticking out of his chest.

Mr Irwin died on September 4 when a stingray barb pierced his chest while
diving on the Great Barrier Reef.

"We have offended people in the past and probably will again," a South Park
spokesman told a London newspaper.

The episode had been scheduled to air in the US on Wednesday.

The timing could not be worse after Mr Irwin's eight-year-old daughter
yesterday announced she would launch her first DVD Bindi Kidfitness.

Alternative titles included Don't Get Stung By Obesity.

Intersting...it's quite hard to find the political and philasophical balance between freedom of expression and decency. I guess the S.P. folks have the right to do what they're doing, but it really's not right at all.
