Bindi Irwin: The Other "White Meat"

Everyone knows that The Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin and his wife, Terry, live an, uhm, unconventional life. The two jet-setting extreme wildlife enthusiasts -- staples of Animal Planet -- spend their lives wrestling and documenting the lives of all creatures great and small.

But the recent flare up over Steve's dangling his infant newborn, Bob, is a bit much by even the standards of his fans. But the bizarre comments by Terry, who called their daughter, Bindi (incidentally, who was named after Steve's favorite Croc) have started a whole new round of headscratching. I mean, doesn't he have his work cut out for him what with rehabilitating the bad image of the tasty civet cat?

Australia's News.Com.Au reports:

"Irwin and his wife Terri stunned zoo visitors again yesterday when they called their five-year-old daughter Bindi 'white meat' during a live show."

"Bindi was told by her parents to enter a new enclosure, which adjoins a crocodile pen, and splash around to encourage the reptiles to swim out. A gate connecting the pool to the croc pen was closed during the show.

"Mum Terri then said: 'Now flail around and look helpless, that's the girl, good girl.

"'That's my girl Bindi Irwin, the other white meat.'"

Hardly a mouthful for a hungry croc, little Bindi seems to be taking it all in stride.

Frankly, The Corsair had thought Steve would be eaten by a feral pig before his image was tarnished, but, then, didn't you know something like this would happen to an unconventional couple in this age of shadenfreude? Weirdness is a felony these days.

Just wait till the media gets a hold of David Lynch and Johnny Depp and lawn urinator Farah Fawcett!
