Bindi Irwin First to Exploit Crocodile Hunter's Death
Eight-year-old Bindi Irwin, daughter of the late crocdile hunter Steve, is set to hit the American small screen and quickly make the transition from everyone's sweetheart to Dakota Fanning-levels of obnoxious. Score!
Not only does Bindi have the 26-part Bindi, the Jungle Girl series on Discovery Kids, she's also making the gabfest circuit, hitting The Ellen Degeneres Show and David Letterman's Late Show.
"She'll be welcomed with open arms and rightly so. She's a very special child," Discovery senior vice-president Annie Howell told Australian media on Monday.
Welcomed with open arms? Let's be honest here: It doesn't entirely hurt that her father – who everybody loved, except for those stuffy animal rights activists – just died.

I think it's only fair to mention that she's moving forward with business as usual. It is the best way to deal with grief. This was a project she was supposed to be doing with her father, and the fact that she's doing it alone shows what a strong little girl she is.
On the other hand, all talk shows are nothing if not opportunistic and predatory.
Has anyone really listened to Bindi be interviewed. She's brilliant, like a middle aged woman trapped in a pre-pubescents body. If anyone was to capitalize off of the Croc Hunters death, I suppose its only appropriate it be his offspring. I think he would approve. I do hope that they know what they are doing with Bindi though, if things aren't handled right, in ten years we could be reading about her in a crack house.
What a hateful rag Jossip is! Steve Irwin was the greatest conservationist the world has ever known and most of his monetary returns went straight into conserving land for future generations. His daughter is a beautiful well-adjusted child who will be guided by an extended loving family and should be adored and revered instead of jeered by you lot! Save your crack-house bullshit fot the likes of Britny Spears and her useless cohorts.
