I detest Bill Maher for his comments on Steve Irwin, and his Halloween costume mocking his death. I honestly don't think I could stomach his show, just over hearing his voice in the background irritates me.
He is a social commentator/comedian. Stop being such a baby and becoming all offended by him. Republicans are whining and offended all the time. Its hilarious.
As for Steve Irwin, you fuck with animals in the manner he did, you are gonna get bit. He was asking for it. By the way, Bill Maher has done MORE to actually help animals than Steve Irwin ever did.
