Who mentioned environmental impact of spearfishing? Not me...
At 21 years old he's entitled to be called a man not a boy, and if he'd been switched on about the dangers of sharks, as should anyone who's diving in SA waters, he'd have known it was about the stupidest thing anyone could do.
As for being insensitive, let's have a quick reality check, for example a celebrity dies in less than ideal circumstances (Princess Di, Rock Hudson, Elvis and a million more) within days/hours multitude of jokes circulate via e-mail TV etc, and sensitive people like yourself don't laugh ? No, I'm sure you'll chuckle as much as the next regular bloke does, we all do, it's perfectly normal.
Perhaps it's because this fool was a diver that it's supposed to be a different kettle of fish but I'd prefer to save my sympathies for the millions of folk who die or are injured through no fault of their own.
