Turtle

On Monday, 4th September, a worldwide respected conservationist, Steve Irwin, died. He was stabbed through the heart by a stingray while filming.

Hours later, MSN users are advised to put a turtle icon in their nicknames as a form of paying respect to the deceased celebrity.

But a turtle??!

Is that the closest icon that can resemble him? Are you saying he is slow or blur-looking like that reptile? How about the snail icon? That's surely slower than the turtle.

For those who don't know him, Steve Irwin was a brave man. He dared to venture to places many don't. Maybe there should have a more closely related icon?

Why not use rose icon? At least, I know people give roses at funerals.

And why must we put icons on MSN this time to commemorate someone's death? Does it make any difference? Is this some trend coming along?

What if Angelina Jolie pass away? I think we should put the LIPS icon. Or Alex Ferguson, we can upload the DEVIL'S face. MSN has just found a new purpose for itself.

And some might ask, what is a Croc Hunter doing with a stingray? Mind you, he specialised in crocodiles but he knows alot about wildlife animals as well. It is purely an accident that this had happened. Another TV luminary gone from the face of the earth.

Of course, in MSN, there are some people who felt emotional about his death and left some messages of condolesence.

Here's some of them:

" to the wildlife warrior, we can make a difference"

" Crikey! I'm Gonna Miss Steve Irwin... He's left so much behind... Blessings~ "

" Let's chiong sting rays in Newton Circle to avenge the crocodile hunter!"

" Turtle Bat Cow Goat Dog Cat"
