Anyone else catch little Bindi Irwin on the Today show this morning?

Hello,

Sorry, didn't see it today. I have always been an animal lover. Remember back in the day, Mutual of Omaha- Wild Kingdom? The narrator was about 5 miles away in an armoured truck, while they sent the younger one out to milk the bull <wink> or whatever. For a reason I could never quite grasp, I did not like Steve. Every other one is fine but him. When he suddenly passed, Cindy seemed genuinely grieved. Almost, a zombie. Bindi just kept going.. I had a 1940's musical feeling where she winks to the bandleader, wipes the fake tear and says "The show must go on!" I think it was managers and agents at that time. Cindy seemed drugged.I haven't seen her lately so I don't know who is pulling the strings but I think in Australia they would say "Crikey, she's a chip off the old block, she is" or as we say in the States" Shoot! She's annoying"

Have to say this, it was the Americans that made Steve Irwin big. There were a lot of Aussies who thought he was was an idiot. I watched some of his shows and I didn't like the unnecessary stirring up of the animals for the camera- it peeved me. I love animals and I found it to be a bit cruel. I will say I do like the fact he was for conservation of our precious animals and their habitats, this just didn't come through on his shows. I can't stand Bindi Irwin, it's unnatural for her to be so obnoxious at that age. I don't think she's a bad kid but I think she hasn't had a childhood. And I do agree with one of the other answers her American side is being coaxed out in a big way. Aussie kids aren't like that.

That kid was raised in front of a camera with a father that took unnecessary risks to play up to the camera. He in turn was brought up as a performer at the Australia Zoo. Do you think Steve Irwin walked around saying "Crikey, look at that" and acting goofy when the camera wasn't on? I doubt it, but yes that family definitely knows how to milk a cash cow for all it's worth.

Oh my gosh. She's about as annoying as it gets. I'm not sure if she's Steve's kid, or Billy Mays' kid. She freaking screams.

lol. Lizard in a theater full of kids watching a disney movie.

Steve was cool, though.

Bindi? Yeah, not so much.

Um, upstage Kathy Lee Gifford? C'mon now...one of my cats (the one that fetches) would be able to do that. I think that kid is very personable and she's just doing what she's been taught to do; perform in front of a camera.

You got to admit her Amercian side is coming out,way over the top

Is a liverpool kiss like a Glasgow kiss only for girls

Her mom knows a cash cow when she sees one.

Did she shove her thumb up a croc's butthole?

watt is yo question?
