Get your dead celebrity costumes out!

The story:
Bill Maher dressed as the Croc Hunter for a Halloween party on the weekend.

The combatants:
A Socialite's Life says: Bill Maher as Steve Irwin
Mollygood says: He kids the croc hunter, he kids
Celebitchy says: Is Steve Irwin fair dinkum game now?
Dlisted says: Offensive?
Best Week Ever says: Clearly Bill Maher doesn't read BWE.tv
The Gilded Moose says: Breaking: Bill Maher briefly funny
The Superficial says: Bill Maher makes fun of the dead

Defamer says: Bill Maher wins 'too soon' award in local costume contest

Haute Gossip says: Loser

Who said it best:

Best Week Ever is offended, but perhaps not why you may think:

On Friday we begged you– pleaded with you– to avoid dressing up as The Crocodile Hunter this Halloween weekend. Not because it’s too soon (we don’t believe in “too soon.” we’re working on our Red Auerbach costume as we speak), but because it’s too hacky and cliched.
