While Heath Ledger wasn't my favorite actor, he certainly did a couple of AWESOME films and his passing (along with Brad Renfro) did touch me a bit.
Today, I happened to turn the television on and Entertainment Tonight was on.
The first thing I hear is: "That's right folks, it was Entertainment Tonight who made sure we were able to have our camera's there as they removed his body from his home last night".
Okay, I fully understand that "stars" make a sacrifice for their "fame" when it comes to being harassed by the papanazi.
BUT, death is death and, at the end of the day, stars ARE people too and GODDAMNIT they deserve a bit of respect in death just like those of us who aren't "fortunate" enough to make millions by making movies.
With all of the fucking bullshit going on in the world today (IE: the stuff we talk about here and at ATS), you would think that the MSM could find something a BIT more important than the death of Heath Ledger.
Which leads me to why I hate the general public.
The MSM would NOT be running stuff like this into the ground and TOTALLY stomping over the memories of HUMAN BEINGS if there weren't a LARGE number of the American public watching religiously.
COME THE FUCK ON PEOPLE!!!
We are in a war for profit in Iraq.
GREAT Presidential candidates are being completely screwed in what is called a "free and just" country.
Our civil liberties have been pissed on by the politicians (on behalf of the special interest groups) for decades.
The Amerikan ekonomy is in the TOILET.
Yet, disrespecting the memory and death of a "celebrity" is what you want to see and hear?
You make me fucking sick.
