Incredibly bad taste. If only that were a deterrant:(
-
If you don't have any respect for the dead, you should at least respect the ones who mourn the loss. Bad taste, indeed!!
-
Excuse me? Are we talking about the same Internet? You expected *good* taste off the Internet?
-
Of course it's in poor taste. When have modern humans been accused of having taste? We always seem to find humor in the most inappropriate and distasteful things. Just take the old 'Ethiopian' and 'Dead Baby' jokes as an example. Many people thrive on 'black' humor.
-
Yes but I'm not surprised. The internet is full of jokes done in bad taste about people that are alive and dead.
-
Unbelievably bad taste. What about his life is fodder for ridicule? He was an exceptionally talented person, and not a celebrity-whore or media hound. I think he was the epitome of an actor as an artist. For shame, people. For shame.

People sometimes use humour to minimise and dismiss painful events/issues. There will always be a percentage of the population who makes these jokes; just as there are those that cry and/or are shocked and follow it on the news. Don't be so shocked by this... there are all kinds of people in the world and there always will be. The group of us that respect and mourn Heath need not be distracted.

Sure, it's bad taste, but who cares? Did you know him personally? Do you really feel bad that people are making light of him? Jokes are fun, and humor is the one media that is unrestricted. After all, y'know what they said to Natalie Wood, "Have a few drinks but don't go overboard!"

These are 'tards who don't understand satire nor comedy. It's stupid is all it is.

When Steve Irwin died, people made jokes... why should this guy be any different. If I died, I would hope people would get a good laugh off of me after I was gone.

Two days later might be a little too soon...

apparently heath ledger died of alcohol poisoning. doctors say he had too many cock sucking cowboys
-
dismal fucking humour! he hated australia! last australian interview he gave, he sat there eating a fucking orange. saying how australia disregards their talent. (referring to russel crowe) who's new zealander. fuck you all, im looking good ol tasteless jokes. for example, peter brock says to steve irwin in heaven, "nice sting ray barb," steve irwin says, "i see they've already given you you're halo," peter brock says "thats my steering wheel"...
-
no,its humor
-
Hes dead so its definatley not bothering him.
-
What jokes? url?
-
You mean like this one: It has been rumoured that the pills found in Heath Ledgers room were sold to him by a dodgy geezer.. Apparently its not the first time he got f****d by a cowboy.. -- It's mean I think but there's no stopping the internet. Check out www.sickipedia.com and parents might want to filter this site from their kids.
-
Yes that is sad. It is in very bad taste. He is dead, but his family is in mourning. Find something positive to say.
-
I think it's part of the process. Make light of death because it's friggin scary. Bad taste? Not in my opinion.
-
Of course it's bad taste. Humour is about bad taste, often. The question is "Are the jokes funny?" if so, go for it and laugh.
-
yes..definetely.
-
Any discussion of Mr Ledger honors him; apathy is the most disrespectful attitude to have. He was great in _Fudgepack Mountain_. Lighten up.
