The Australian comedian Catherine Deveny was fired as columnist for the Australian paper The Age, following a tasteless joke suggesting "The Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin's 11-year old daughter needed to "get laid."
She tweeted, "I so do hope Bindi Irwin gets laid."
The Age soon fired her, with the following statement: "We are appreciative of the columns Catherine has written for The Age over several years but the views she has expressed recently on Twitter are not in keeping with the standards we set at The Age."
Deveny didn't take it nicely and declined to apologize, saying her humor's "deeply subjective."
