Journey into Morbidity: The Dead Pool – Candidate Uno Redux
Yesterday, Bindi Irwin, the eight-year-old daughter of the recently deceased Hunter of Crocodiles, Steve Irwin, was selected as the first candidate for the Inaugural wojr.com Halloween Dead Pool. Wait, strike that. That isn’t right. She was only the first suggested selection for the Inaugural wojr.com Halloween Dead Pool.
Since I can’t play in my own reindeer games, I am only suggesting which ten individuals would most likely become cadavers. That’s the goal of the Dead Pool. Picking who is most likely to die.
Well, it looks like I have to rethink my suggestion of Bindi Irwin.
Not because it’s sick and twisted to say an eight year old girl that just lost her father is an odds-on favorite to suffer an early demise within the next year.
I am fine with twisted and can handle sick every so often. I just have a problem with the time frame.

I think I’m going to have to write Mr. Stain-ton a harshly worded letter after this Dead Pool business is up and running. Let him know that postponing the show by a year really puts a wrinkle in our little death wagering scenario.
Come on, will it be any more acceptable for a NINE-year-old to stick her head in the lion's mouth? I think not.
So, I’m going to strike Bindi Irwin as a featured suggestion.
Taking her place: DAKOTA FANNING
I don’t think an explanation is necessary. You know, with the young actress’s “alleged” hard partying lifestyle and penchant for rough, anonymous sexual intercourse.

Bindi Irwin's Jungle adventure has been put on hold.Ooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhh! Mr. Stainton is “fed up”. Poor Mr. Stainton.
The eight-year-old daughter of the late Steve Irwin was slated to star in a 26-part documentary series for Discovery Kids beginning in January 2007, but the project has now been pushed back a year.
John Stainton, the Irwin family's friend and manager, said it was his decision to delay Bindi, The Jungle Girl while he takes a year off in the wake of Irwin's untimely death by stingray.
He denied that the series was held up due to concerns that Bindi was being exploited in the wake of her father's death, and said that he was "fed up" with debate over the issue.
I think I’m going to have to write Mr. Stain-ton a harshly worded letter after this Dead Pool business is up and running. Let him know that postponing the show by a year really puts a wrinkle in our little death wagering scenario.
