Just saw the footage of Steve Irwin and his baby on the Daily Show last night. Lewis Black was absolutely hilarious about it.

I had heard about it over the weekend, but it was pretty sickening to actually see him with that (month old?) little baby out only arms length from the croc! And then he jolted the little kid along the ground in a pantomime of running away from the croc, practically giving the poor kid Shaken Infant Syndrome.

The guy’s dangerous fool. I hope a croc eats him like the tiger ate Roy (or was it Sigfried?) or like the grizzlies ate that other dumb-ass. 2003 was a busy year for Darwin Awards.

What say ye? Was it sick or slick to everyone?
