Yeah Germaine's comments re Irwin may have been a lapse in
taste - death by misadventure is rarely funny.

But seriously, did Irwin ever prove anything to anyone who couldn't figure it out for themselves - if you annoy prehistoric animals sufficiently (a poke with a stick
will do it) they will react aggresively and quickly in quite a photogenic way.

Yes he did.

He captured the moment with a film crew which then captured (for a moment) the North American TV public.

Genius strategy!

And not a cringeworthy moment to be seen.

It's getting late but I suddenly have a compeling urge
to throw a shrimp on the barbie.
