    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.

    • 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
