Ledger's Death Is A Laughing Matter
Filed under: Australiastic > Heath Ledger
This is reprehensible!
Fox News Talk Network host John Gibson announced the sad and tragic death of actor Heath Ledger on Tuesday by mocking him and making light of his untimely passing.
Disgusting!
We've been on this creep's show before and we will boycott his show in the future, unless he issues an apology.
Here's a rundown of what happened:
"Playing an audio clip of the iconic quote, 'I wish I knew how to quit you' from Ledger’s gay romance movie Brokeback Mountain, Gibson disdainfully quipped, 'Well, he found out how to quit you.' Laughing, Gibson then played another clip from Brokeback Mountain in which Ledger said, 'We’re dead,' followed by his own, mocking 'We’re dead' before playing the clip again."
Gibson called Ledger a "weirdo" with a "serious drug problem" and suggested that Ledger killed himself because he had "a serious position in the (stock) market" or perhaps "watched the Clinton-Obama debate last night. I think he was an Edwards guy, cause he saw his Edwards guy was just completely irrelevant."

OneRepublic sings, "It's too late to apologize." But it's not!
Say you're sorry, John Gibson, or you're no different than hatemonger Fred Phelps.
Update: Feel free to email john.gibson@foxnews.com and let him directly know your thoughts!
You can also email his show at myword@foxnews.com and the network at yourcomments@foxnews.com.

DUMB CUNT!
Disgusting. And truly pathetic. He's obviously ignorant and tasteless. Fuck him! I'm not sure I'd accept his apology.
Disgusting!!
what an asshat!
Gibson is a fucking asshole.
fucking loser
what a fucking asshole!!!
Wow… what an arsehole!
I am not even going to listen to that creep. His voice would make me want to vomit. Such filth and hate at anytime but particularly when so many people are hurting shows his utter lack of character. How is this person, John Gibson, remaining employed? If Imus lost his job for lack of consideration then this John Gibson definitely needs to be out on his ass. What an ignorant pig!
Wow what a dumbass fucker.
PEREZ UR A SHAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
honestly, heath was amazing and it's a tragedy that he passed away. why can't all these news men and women have a little respect and honor him instead of bashing him?
FU Perez! Looks like the pot is calling the kettle black - you take cheap shots all the time.
OMG! You have GOT to be kidding me! Come on! You know you're wrong when even PEREZ sez that you were out of line!
FIRST!
Fuck you, John Gibson!!!!!You're a piece a shit anyway…..
This is disgusting. These smug, arrogant assholes think it makes them look sooo superior to mock Heath Ledger's death, when in reality, it reveals them as the contemptuous, playground bullies they really are!
What a total ahole. You have to be pretty heartless to make fun of someone that just lost their life when we dont even know how… ew. hate this guy
PEREZ FOR PREZ!
hahahaha hilarious!
Sorry but this sounds like a lot of typical Americans we see in the media…if you don't live the same life you ain't nothin' and they can ridicule you without consequence. Its unfortunate
Faux News: As always, bringing the world the worst in journalism…
I live in Perth, Heath's home town and my husband studied drama with him at School. On behalf of everyone here who cares. SHUT UP! Let the family grieve and the man rest in peace without all the media hype.
WOW! That man CLEARLY has a COLD HEART! I'm still in shock that Heath Ledger is gone, and this idiot is thinking it's a laughing matter? But, this is FOX NEWS we're talking about…the whole network is EVIL!!!
i am saddened to hear this ,
i dont watch fox and never will again after that.
THis man is a total asshole.
what a fucking douche bag!!
That is PATHETIC. I don't even care if he apologizes. Because it won't be sincere. He'll only do it because he gets in SHIT for it. What an asshole!
FUCK YOU PEREZ YOUR AS WORST AS HIM YOU JUST FEEL BAD FOR WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT HIS DEATH. FATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FUCK
that's fucking low.
doesnt matter about fame or any other thing in a persons life, you don't disrespect someone in that way, especially when their family and friends are grieving.
fuck him in the ass with something hard
and sand papery
NO RESPECTTTTTTTTT
wow. whaaaat an a$$wiPe!
Um, you've been taking it quite lightly yourself, Perez.
holy crap… what a royal asshole! #1 don't speak ill of the dead. it's rude #2 unless you were there and know what happened to heath… you can't say shit so shut up! #3 he was an amazing actor and an amazing dad…. seriously… he should make a serious apology… effing jerk
fuck john gibson. fuck him.
He's just a bitter, fat old man using a tragic death to make himself feel better…as if somehow he is a more worthy human than Heath Ledger. If I was his manager I would fire his fat ass quicker than he could scarf food, that is after I made him do an on-air apology. God, I hope Gibson dies soon so we can laugh about karma.
It doesn't matter if you like a person or not, death is NEVER a laughing matter and should not be taken lightly. And, there's no evidence that he committed suicide. And, if he had, laughing at someone with severe depression is unforgivable. He should apologize, but he should also be fired!
I hope americans one day will realize that "opinion-tv" is not normal outside your country. Even though news can be biased, they at least try to be journalistic. For a non-american watching Fox News, or other channels where the host keep lecturing the viewer, is kind of shocking to see.
This piece is just so tasteless, that I don't know what to say.
Myword@foxnews.comMyword@foxnews.comMyword@foxnews.comMyword@foxnews.com
what a fucking asshole!
what a fucking asshole!
FUCKING FAG.
fox needs to fix this and fast! He needs to be fired and apologize on air for his absolutly offensive comments. Shame on you ,especially FOX , you hire these people! Ican tell you , for those rude and hurtful comments FOX will no longer be watched in our house.
ROTF! i love how you added onerepublic lyrics
what a discusting pig. I hope this man is embarassed by his filthy remarks.
DID YOU SORT OF DO THE SAME THING WITH YOUR LAST "IF YOU'RE EASILY OFFENDED"
Although not to this degree, but it was still tasteless and disrespectful.
It's very sad that someone could take a horrible situation like this and make a joke out of it. That is just plain cruel…especially considering that Ledger seemed to be a respectable and kind person. For God's sake- what is this world coming to???
There are no words to describe the feelings of disgust. How can any human being act in this way? An apology would be too little, too late. And without meaning. Why would we listen? The truth about this socipath is out!
He should apologize!!! Apology or not, as Donald Trump says, "YOU'RE FIRED!"
No Perez he cant be forgiven when something leaves your mouth and is recorded on national television one is entirely responsible for what they consciously said. What a shallow pathetic person to joke about such a tragic loss. Sick sick sick.
oh my god. that's fucking horrible. what kind of disgusting person would say things like that? i'm in shock. how can anyone be so cold and heartless? ughh
WHAT I GROSS PERSON HE MAKES ME SICK HOW DARE HIM ….I HOPE SOME ONE FIRES HIM THAT IS SOO RUDE HE HAS KNOW RIGHT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HIS PASSING OR ANYONES…. ITS NOTHING TO LAUGH ABOUT U SICK F*** EN PIECE OF S*** GO TO HELL I HOPE U DIED TO NIGHT SO HEATH CAN KICK UR ASS …… FOR RIGHT NOW BRIT BRIT LOOKS BETTER IN MY EYES …… IF I COULD MEET U I WOULD SPIT ON YOU AND GRRRR I JUST WISH HE WOULD GET A LIFE …… sorry wont even help you if i heard that i would have called in and gave him a piece on my mind….U PIECE OF SHIT U COCK SUCKER… I AM DONE WITH HIM
ass.
Just who the FUCK does that guy think he is?!
He looks like a perv, they should stick a 10-foot pole up his ass. Stinky bitch, probably has crabs n' shit breeding in that fake hair of his…
And yeah Perez, BOYCOTT HIS SHOW!
I just listened to the audio version and that man is shameless. Heath was someones son, brother and father. Someones friend. To make a joke out of his death is sick. Its not funny. The pain his family are in would be overwhelming. Some people just use humour to be insensitve, rude and basically assholes.
omg this is disgusting
fucking disgusting
i really cant believe anyone would be heartless and cruel enough to say anything like that.
thank you aknowleding what an ignorant asshole he is
he needs to make a public apology but even that is not enough
yea, Gibson is talking with the sacramento pig talk show host Tom Sullavin who now has a show in ny (this looser is also a friend of Rush Limbaugh) way to go!!
what a fuckin a$$hole!!! its sh!t like that, that lets you know he doesn't know anything about a loss of a love one…FUCKIN IGNORANT PIECE OF SHIT!!
Anyone who blames Fox News for the actions of one douche bag is an idiot.
What the hell else would you expect from FOX News?
Karma will come back and bite this low life in the ass…My prayers are with Heath's family and friends. I'll always admire him for having the balls to do a movie as revolutionary as Brokeback.
wow, how sad. the audio clip really disgusted me.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! what an ASSHOLE! that is so messed up! i can't believe it!
All the more reason to HATE Fox News. Seriously… how anybody can watch that disgusting news channel and think they are getting the truth is beyond me. They are some of the most repugnant and hateful people that I have EVER seen in news media. I was watching MY favorite news program- "Countdown with Keith Olberman" on MSNBC, and Keith talked about this John Gibson guy, and how he made fun of Heath Ledger's untimely death. I was shocked… but not suprised. This is ALWAYS how people on Fox News act! Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reily… all of them! They make me sick, and that fact that so many people out there live and breathe for that channel makes me even sicker. I hope that people will WAKE UP to their nonsense and STOP giving them ratings!! It will only keep that news channel in business longer!
*
DOWN WITH FOX NEWS!!! LONG LIVE MSNBC!!!
fuck fuck him double hard right in the face with a shovel. Fox News, "fair and balanced in terms of filled with slippery foul smelling shit, like this bloody douche nozzle John Gibson"
