i've been reading various things online and the people who are talking about how this affects batman, that just disgusts me.
america has an idiot president whose economic plan is throwing the world markets into a tailspin, the nation is knee deep in blood during two wars that nobody cares to ask presidential candidates about, and all people want to hear about is the death of an actor.
perfect example of this sick celebrity fascination of a big-brother lite culture we've got going on. i mean usually as a country we don't have to work too hard to become the laughing stock of the international community, but this is a perfect example as to why we are. a guy breaks down and loses his shit but since he's in a movie he deserves more press than the tens of thousands of lives affected by our hard earned tax dollars being used as bombs.
sick.
- yes, i feel bad for him, moreso his family, but come on... there are more pressing matters.colin_s
- you're right in a way - but the fascination for artists and heroes has been ever present to mankind.Corvo
- yes but the ratio of interest towards celebrity to wars being funded is pretty steep right now.colin_s
- indeed there's too much media and too less reality.Corvo
- but still those may be two different subjects.Corvo
- Okay, but why are you posting in this thread then? No one will ever be interested in elections just for the sake of the country...Jaline
- country. for example, all they talk about is Hilary Clinton's clothing and hair. I give up on everyone now.Jaline
- it's one thing to say "that sucks," but it's on the front page of every site on the internet. the net is about as classy as a basement brothel.colin_s
- Yeah, but lots of people DO want to know about it. It's a problem to some, not a problem to others. I don't see it changing....Jaline
- changing anytime soon.Jaline
- Well stated Colin, the US has head up it's ass, sad but true!ComicSans_Rocks
- thing is you will get the banz0rs if you talk about anything much more important than this herekelpie

We shouldn't jump to conclusions. Most likely a drug OD, but could have been a freak reaction with OC drugs or something less insidious. Most likely not, but you never know. Besides all it says was that pills were present... for all we know, for the sake of sensationalism reporting, they were closed up in the medical cabinet, but technically true. They were found at the scene.

I fucking hate the news media. Bunch of bloodsucking maggots waiting for the next famous body to drop dead so they can cash in on it.
How about a mention of a world wide economy crash led by the US?

The Times initially reported that Ledger was found in an apartment owned by actress Mary-Kate Olsen, but a spokesperson for the actress, who is at the Sundance Film Festival, later told the Times the apartment was not Olsen's
- I heard a few months ago that the apartment was for sale. Maybe he just moved in?pantone

It's also sad that there has been over 200,000 innocent Iraqi's murdered my American troops to date, but who cares none of them can act and the children don't believe in Santa or the Easter Bunny.
God Bless America:)
- believe me, this was addressed a ways back in another "famous person died" thread on NT; think dobs brought it up.Point5
- If you compare everything to that, you may as well give up.mimeartist
- whatmimeartist said. I can't stand people who hate on others for the things they think about. Not everything is the same to everyone.mg33
