As most of you know by now, the actor Heath Ledger is dead. yes, he really is dead. no, i am not just making this up, he is really, bonafide, D-E-A-D, dead. If you didnt know, then
A) you are really slow
or
B) you dont watch/read the news.
I'm not going to go into details because i am too lazy.
Death, as we all know, is pretty tragic. celebrity death is even worse. only because everybody knows celebrities and they really dont want to see them die so suddenly. but honestly? when a celeb dies, it is WAY to over-publicized. frankly, within a fifiteen minute span in looking thru recent news stories, a grand total of EIGHTEEN news stories somehow related to Heath. frankly, that is sick.
Here's what i think. Yes, he is dead, whatever his reasons may have been, they were his own. whatever his means may have been (meaning how it happend, if he did it himself, or whatever) is his own business, in life or in death. the way his family greives for him, that is their business, i really dont think that that should be world news! "Oh my gosh, my son/brother/nephew/whatever died. he was an actor. i think this is what he would have wanted for his funeral." i really DONT think that any family, whether of someone famous or not, would want that in some newspaper. or on the internet. or in EIGHTEEN friggin news stories.
this is just like when Anna Nicole Smith died. they made a story out of her death, a story out of the autopsy results coming out, a story about a comment made in the autopsy about her anus being "unremarkable". its like dude, i really dont want to know what the ME said about her ANUS, frankly. i just dont want to know that. and now, however long ago she died, they are still making freaking references to her death, and her autopsy, and her unremakable anus. hey news people, ever heard the phrase "let sleeping dogs lie"? well, do the same after a certain period with dead celebs, as well. if they have been dead a while, DONT keep talking about them. its only nice.
and now, after all of that, its time to sit back, in boredom, with a glass of grape kool-aid.
peace out

Hey Katie... think of it this way, the news is crazy when teenagers die to. Think about the stories in the news about Heather and Laura and Melissa. Think about how they looked at all of the people greiving and all they saw was a photo opprotunity for the metropolitan city of savannah to see the tears we shed.
Think of how people criticize something that was a simple accident.
They do the same thing with Anna and Heath... they want the fans to see the hurt the families and friends went through. They want to open that wound they have and rub salt in it. They want these people to see them and feel bad for them, but we know from experience, they can feel bad, guilty, upset, but they will never go through the heartbreak that the real friends and familiy went through, will they?
