Well, said, Nutsy!

This Greer woman sounds like a loon.

Greer sticks to her guns over 'tormentor' Irwin

WHEN one door closes, somewhere a window opens.

We have lost one colourful Australian this week, but his death has heralded the return to the public eye of another - the indomitable Germaine Greer. Greer has been roundly criticised in some quarters, and quietly praised in others, for her outspoken article in The Guardian following Steve Irwin's death. She said, among other things, that the "animal world had finally taken its revenge on Irwin", and criticised his treatment of animals.

Greer appeared on A Current Affair last night to defend her views, and it was a cracking good show. "My feeling about Steve was always that he did not treat animals with respect," she told Karl Stefanovic.

"He seemed to regard animals as something he could torment … it's no surprise he came to grief," she said. "He humiliated them."

It was a red rag to a bull. Stefanovic could take no more. "How do you know?" he demanded. "Have you seen the video?" He called Greer insensitive and accused her of "just being controversial" for the sake of it.

"Oh, for heaven's sake!" Germs replied, her temper fraying.

"I find the whole Steve Irwin phenomenon an embarrassment and I'm not the only one who thinks so."

"Germaine, you are making it up!" Stefanovic cried, and said she was out of sync with the Australian public. Greer shot back that she thought most Australians agreed with her, and finished by saying she hoped she was out of sync with what "the idiots" were thinking.

Ah, Germaine, please never stop! Even better, come home!

Although, for your own safety, we suggest you take up a more socially acceptable habit than the evisceration of Australian icons. Something like clubbing baby seals.

That's sad. Whatever that woman thought of his practices, this is certainly not the time to go on about it.

exactly!

I agree. She just want her 15 minutes of fame, but this is not the right time.

News just in.... Steve will be laid to rest privately within the next 7 days and a public memorial service will be held at a suitable venue within the nex 2 weeks.

I hope they really do a public memorial, it's just so sad. That's for keeping us all updated. Eugene, Oregon community members sent a letter to Terri with her parents who flew to her yesterday. We signed it, but who knows if she'll ever see it, or care. I live in Eugene, and it's all our little town media has been talking about. It's just too sad.

 

[Nutsy]

You would be feeling it too hey? I'm glad Terri's family have come over.. felt sure they would, but wasn't sure just how soon. I think she needs them with her at a time like this. It's just so sad.

A public memorial will be happening.. Steve's Dad announced it this afternoon, but I doubt much further thought will be given to that until after he has been laid to rest.

That sounds extremely appropriate. I am glad there will a public memorial service. Hopefully it will be at least partially televised so that all of the people of the world can join in remembrance of Steve, he really touched so many lives.

 

[Nutsy]

Good point and he did touch so many lives everywhere too.

His Dad said due to the massive outpouring of grief from the public that they would hold a public memorial service for Steve so the public could say their goodbyes

That is really nice. I saw Steves father make a statement earlier today (God knows when it actually happened waaaaay down there, cause my today is your yesterday...and you are now way into my tommorow LOL)

Seems like such a nice man, resminded me alot of Steve....very hard to watch him talk about his relationship with his 'best mate'. What a loss.

Hey, Nutsy, what do you think of this article?


Fellow Aussie Germaine Greer says Steve Irwin "exploited" wild animals




http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14694683/

I'd just like to say that Germiane Greer can stay in London and if she were a half decent Aussie she would not even dream of saying thet things she did about Steve.

Yeah, so she has her opinoin.. sure, but now is NOT the time to be voicing it and especially to the world wide media.

She is a HAS BEEN and is after some limelight for herself. I actually think she may have been jelaous of Steve. He had a huge following world wide, and he was so genuine and down to earth and a fair dinkim Aussie, which is a heck of a lot more than can be said for her.

 

[Nutsy]

I just Googled Germaine Greer images

Was actually going to post one here.. but I can't be bothered... go take a look guys... there is one of her posing naked Let's put it this way..she is not young

 

[Serena]

Nutsy, thank you for keeping this updated.

Greer is a nut and if people didn't realize it before, they probably do now. All for her 15 minutes of fame. She will blow over like a bad wind.

I think Terri's decision is a good one and I'm really glad Steve's dad and her family are with her, or will be.

My family was devistated to learn of Steve's Death
