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.
And, if you wanna email the CEO of Fox News, his info is roger.ailes@foxnews.com.
What a fucking douche.
Hate to say it, but hes always been this ignorant, intolerant, and ridiculously stupid. At this point, he just needs to die. He's just jealous that many homosexuals are brave enough to come out and live freely instead of him having to hide his inner homosexuality.
right on Perez!
rude.
What an ugly, disgusting creep.
What's the big deal?? Who gives a shit about some drug addicted actor dying anyways. Fuck him and fuck all of you. Nobody will give a fuck in a week.
And I hope Perez Hilton dies of AIDS.
Didn't all you star-struck/hopeful chicks ever notice 'Heathys' RECEDING hairline?
I just saw a picture of his Dad whose haircut makes like 'KOJAK' so in a few short years 'Heathy' too would have been a NUDE-NUT - not like John Gibson whose got plenty of nice, thick cuddly hair that I KNOW you all just want to run your fingers through.
Would you still have thought Heathy was such a 'hottie' when he became a BALDIE?
I DONT think so!
This makes me sick…I mean really! They should run that ass hole off the fucking air! Who makes those kind of comments about a brilliantly talented 28 year old?! I'm gonna e-mail fox news for sure! Somebody better make comments like that when he dies! And it doesnt matter at all that he apologized cause I'm sure he didnt mean 1 single solitary word of it. Sad that theres people like that with their own shows! Maybe he was jealous of Heath cause he's so fugly it should be illegal!
What a fucker. this guy needs to go to hell.
what a disgusting human being!!!!!!!!!
I am so sick of all these would be celebrities using the problems and deaths of really talented, fun, entertaining individuals as a way to get themselves heard. Controversy is all well and good but I often ask myself how these people sleep at night. Heath is DEAD…that means ALL JOKES SHOULD STOP!!!! Think of his family and friends and fans…GROW UP…get a real job and start talking about some of the real issues in this world…like how much FOX NEWS SUCKS!!!
gibson's pathetic attempt at an apology reaks of insincerity and hate. this is definitely a clear reflection of the fox news network allowing that kind of the ignorant stupidity flood my living room and poison my brain. there's something seriously wrong that we even have to entertain this garbage; what gives gibson the right to be so aweful nationally? call me crazy, we all need to rethink some things.
Disrespectful bastard!
That is in such bad taste, what an awful thing to say. Who could possibly find that funny or appropriate? Disgusting.
he is an cold asshold, as quick as heath ledger left, so can he
Those at FOX are a bunch of hypocrates.There programing is very conservative on one side but then they give us shows like Family Guy,Simpsons…etc. They preach their values on one hand and take the MONEY with the other,all in the name of 'there' GOD.
thats just the most disgustiing thing i have ever heard and he should be fired
What a fucking bastard he is
How does he had the balls for critized a person who diddn't do no harm to him and he was doing his job
Unlike him I think his denying that he may like his own sex by mocking a great actor
He doesn't have any feeling for what has happen to a young star who wasn't in the media doing stupid thing .
I hope he get the same treatment when he kick the bucket
wwowowo
wat a nasty old man!!!!!!!!
I definately cried when I heard of Heath's passing and John Gibson SHOULD be ashamed of himself.
He makes me sick and that's all I have to say about that.
seriously this guy pissed me off so badly..even if heath ledger did commit suicide (which i don't believe happened) why would he make fun of that..that's such a serious matter..this guy needs to watch his moth..heath ledger was a million times the man he will ever be
I sure hope no one he loves commits suicide ever, because I guess there will be a dick head just like him making fun of it.
Fucking dick! he was a great actor!
I HATE YOU BITCH I LOVE Heath Ledger AND I CRY A LOT FOR HIS DEATH
I hope that fucking asswhole burns in hell!
Spare me the drama. What he said wasn't THAT bad. Disrespectful, yes, but deserving of such comments as "he should burn in hell" - I think not. Half of these comments are from people who are in "shock" over this. Gimme a GD break. What I find shocking is that the other half of the people who posted comments think "asshole" is two words.
