Steve irwins done it again

I was un-aware that antartica belonged to any country? I thought it was just basicaly a big ole chunk of ice that no one owned. I mean, why would any gov't claim it? It is the most un-inhabitable piece of land on the planet earth.
Furthermore, you have to see the irony of this. He grabs the most toxic snake in the world and plays with it. Jumps on Crocs that weigh more than he does and wrestles them. Picks up spiders that are toxic enough to kill, and no one has a problem. But now the gov't is hot and bothered because he went swimming with a friggin whale? You gotta be kidding me.

Yes, tha antartic is clamed my numerous contries, but it has been agreed to be used only for reserch and not for oil explorations and such. I dont think the USA has a clame.

What exactly defines "interacting" with Antarctic wildlife? Every time man steps foot on the ice there he is technicly "interacting" with the wildlife there. It never ceases to amaze me the rediculous things that people find to waste taxpayer money on. Who gives a flying rats rear about a guy swimming with a whale? I say if a guy wants to jump into that ice cold water and swim with a whale then more power to him. What are they afraid of? Is it going to leave a lifelong emotional scar or something? Gimme a break.

Spec,
I don't think I've ever heard another Australian use the word "crikey" besides Steve Irwin. I think it is a trait of Queenslanders to use such ridiculous terminology. As for the other phrases you have quoted.....I've never heard them in my life!! There are plenty of other weird ones though.
To finish off- from the show that Trashcan was referring to, the most used US word I've heard seems to be "Whatever!" repeated an endless amount of times.

I don't know that his interaction with the animals was inherently evil or dangerous, though being a zoo keeper and naturalist he should know the laws and most certianly not film himself breaking the laws!
He's a comical guy and the first time I saw the show was "steve bleeds week" or something like that where he's getting bit and attacked by animals but never did he hit at them even when attacked so that's pretty hip with me! As much as I love animals and nature I don't know if I could carefully set down a tree viper after it bit me in the face!
