Let the man rest in peace.

An open letter to the press:

It must drive you insane. Heath Ledger didn't commit suicide and he wasn't a drug-addict. You sure want him to be though. He wasn't. His death was an accident. Too bad for you. You can back off now. You can let his family, his friends, even his fans, remember him the way he ought to be remembered. There are plenty of reputations for you to ruin. Plenty of people for you to hound. Let this one go.

Don't worry people, I'm not gonna get all Chris Crocker over here, but honestly the media's insistence on making this a suicide or drug overdose when it's clearly not just sickens me. Still, it's nothing compared to the "radical" Baptist church in Kansas that's protesting his funeral because he was in "Brokeback Mountain." These are the same people who've protested the funerals of American troops killed in Iraq. They hate me too. I'm a Catholic and that just don't sit well with them. At least they're equal opportunity pieces of crap.
It's bad enough that the man is dead. Now in the aftermath we're seeing reprehensible behavior left and right. Leave him to rest, people. None of this is right.

Dude, those Westboro Baptist f@&Kers need to be beaten to death with their own appendages. They are the sickest and lowest of the low. They protested the funerals of dead miners and little girls too. F'n assholes. You know they're all inbreeders, right? Look 'em up on wikipedia.

You want to see crass commercialism at it's worst though, check this out.

I just checked out the Westboro Baptists. How do people like that even exist? I don't even want to call them people. Just the most vile, wretched, horrifying display of "humanity" imaginable. But I'm too kind.
As for that Best Buy thing...wow. Pure class it is. I wish more young actors and actresses would die so I could get their DVDs at a discount. Who comes up with these ideas?

Well said. He was not an addict.

RIP
