Yeah, it's Crikey. I'm not quite sure whether that's just a "typo" or on purpose. For those who haven't seen it before, this is based on the famous "obey", andre the giant stencils/posters:

If it's not the original "CRIKEY" then it's not the original Steve Irwin catch cry. IMO Fix the spelling and give half the proceeds of any sales to Wildlife Warriors and I'd be happy.

I would'nt like if people are making money of Steve's memory and not putting a little bit back into what Steve was all about.

Shamous: It's street art. "Graffiti" if you will, but on paper rather than spraypainted directly onto the surface.

Nobody is making any money from it. They're just remembering him with a little humor, in a public setting.

I know it's called street art. My point is it's not Steve's wording. So don't use it. If they do happen to make money out of it then it would be kind to donate some was my suggestion.

And don't tell me that the yanks would not for a second print some of them up onto t-shirts and attempt to flog them off.

Maybe I'm just tired but when it come's to the Crikey" catch cry it should be left and spelt as is. JMO

It is cool but do it in the right way.

It just goes to show what an impact the great man had on the world.
It's funny but i stop myself from saying "Crikey" just out of respect for steve... But the more i do, the more the word comes to the tip of my tongue...

i think most Americans believe that krikey is the correct spelling. because i come in contact with alot of Americans on an online game i play and when i told them that steve was dead (well they hadnt heard yet because it was only just comeing on the news in australia) and they were alll like "krikey".
