Making Fun Of Ledger's Death: Not So Funny!

Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Australiastic > Media Minute > Heath Ledger

gibson__opt1.jpg

Petitions are being signed and offended parties are mobilizing in response to Fox News Radio host John Gibson's homophobic and inappropriate mocking of Heath Ledger's death.

We reported last night about Gibson's disgusting behavior and have vowed to boycott his show, which we've been on in the past, unless he apologizes.

Hopefully some action will be taken against him by the higher-ups at Fox.

Now, GLAAD has jumped into the fray as well.

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation has denounced Gibson's behavior and just released the following call to action, something we suggested our readers do earlier too.

They say:

"January 24, 2008

Fox News Host John Gibson Cruelly Mocks Heath Ledger's Death and his Role in Brokeback Mountain

In the wake of Heath Ledger's death, people around the world are mourning the gifted actor's passing and are expressing their appreciation for how he changed hearts and minds with his Oscar-nominated role as a gay cowboy in 2005's Brokeback Mountain.

In a stark and disturbing contrast, Fox News Radio host John Gibson cruelly mocked Ledger's death and his role in Brokeback Mountain during his Jan. 22 John Gibson Show radio broadcast. During the show, Gibson played an audio clip from the film of Jake Gyllenhaal's character, Jack, telling Ennis (played by Ledger), "I wish I knew how to quit you." Gibson then coldly quipped, "Well, he found out how to quit you." Then, after playing another audio clip from the movie of Ledger's character saying, "We're dead," Gibson mockingly said, "We're dead" and played the clip again.

“Gibson’s remarks are vulgar and disgusting,” said Rashad Robinson, GLAAD’s Senior Director of Media Programs. “It’s sickening that Gibson would exploit Heath Ledger’s tragic death to promote such hurtful intolerance. And to do so at a time when family and friends are grieving shows a level of insensitivity that is beyond the pale.”
Beyond his mockery of Ledger's role in Brokeback Mountain, Gibson called the actor a "weirdo" with "a serious drug problem," and callously speculated on the reasons Ledger might have committed suicide. Gibson had previously mocked Brokeback Mountain–calling it a "gay agenda movie" on his Fox News TV program in 2006.

    JOHN GIBSON IS A PART OF THE SLEAZE FACTOR IN OUR SO CALLED "NEWS MEDIA" THAT IS MAKING AMERICA A LAUGHING STOCK AROUND THE WORLD. HE AND HIS ILK ARE DRAGGING OUR "MEDIA" DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO THE CESS POOL OF HATRED, BIGOTRY AND RAG SHEET "NEWS". I SHOULD THINK THAT ALL LEGITIMATE NEWSCASTERS AND TALK SHOW HOSTS WHO HAVE A SHREAD OF DIGNITY LEFT, WOULD SPEAK OUT LOUD AND CLEAR THAT THEY ABHOR THIS KIND OF SLIMY BEHAVIOR BY SLIMY SLEAZY BROADCASTERS AND TRY TO BRING BACK SOME SEMBLANCE OF DIGNITY AND CLASS TO THEIR ONCE HIGHLY RESPECTED PROFESSION. EVEN THOUGH HE IS ON THE THE LOW CLASS REPUBLICAN PROPAGANDA CHANNEL OF FOX NOISE, HE STILL MANAGES TO TAKE SLEAZE AND SLIME TO A NEW LOW.

    I agree that freedom of speech is important but lets have SOME decorum here ok please!? How would you feel if this was someone you cared about?
    Its 2008. I had hoped we would all be above this kind of nonsense by now. Lets all remember that putting "Fox" and "news" in the same sentence is totally BEYOND ridiculous. Gibson shouldn't be given ONE MORE SECOND in the spotlight. I think its a pathetic attempt to be clever or to gain attention for his boring show. YEESH - sucks to be a loser.
    Condolences to Mr. Ledger's daughter, Parents and family for their loss.

    2. It is the media's job to promote tolerance and understanding. I'm not saying that everyone has to see Brokeback Mountain. But they don't have to be hate mongers either!
    3. The sad truth is that Fox probably won't do anything about it. Their riding a press wave and are probably getting higher ratings because of it. Don't buy into the bullshit

    Dear Mr. Gibson,

    You are hilarious! I knew Fox employed clowns, but seriously, you are top notch! Thank you so much for the tear-inducing laugh you produced from me when witnessing the expression of the degradation that our society has sunk to evident by the employment of mildly retarded people such as yourself. It takes darkness to recognize light, and you, sir, make me feel like an angel. And I am a grade A bitch! Thank you so much, I seriously couldn't be more thankful. And thank you for strengthening the gay issue. We need more people like you to keep it in the limelight! Well done!

    Love,
    Heather Xxxxxxx

    The thing is that the public determines John Gibson's career, in the same way that it did Heath Ledger's. He makes these comments to get some sort of reaction so that people watch his show. If no one watched him, it would ruin the show and FOX would cancel it. And most people care a fraction about John Gibson that they did for Heath Ledger.

    freedom of speech, my ass. yeah, you can have all the freedom of speech you want, but you still have to deal with the backlash. John Gibson can say whatever he wants about the death of Heath Ledger, but the only thing his comments have proven is that even douchebags have freedom of speech. Backing something up by saying that one can say whatever they want because it's their constitutional right, is just an vague way of saying "I have no other way to explain my statements".

    There is freedom of speech and there is respect. If John Gibson and anyone else feels that the tragic end of such a life (because anyone who meets their end in this manner is tragic, not just celebrities) warrants jokes and making fun, they need to take a better look inside themselves, because that does not make you a good person.

    His statements are exactly as another user stated as unprofessional and in poor taste. I'd also like to point out that not everyone has freedom of speech - you may and I may, but others in this world are not entitled to voicing their opinions.

    640

    I think John gibson needs to be taught a lesson about emotions because Heath just passed away and already someone is breaking down the great career he made for himself. John Gibson needs help but he shouldn't be fired.Hopefully he'll learn so this never happens again

    Who cares. 1st amendment. America sucks now, you say something and everyone wants to bury you. Don Imus did nothing wrong and neither did this guy. Get over it. OD'ing deserves no respect from me. Hard to be accidental when they are all over the place.

    Subject: Jon Gibson's Don Imus Blunder

    Jon Gibson's remarks regarding Heath Ledger's untimely death are unacceptable, vulgar and should be dealt with accordingly.

    Just as Don Imus was let go due to his, "nappy haeaded hoes" comment, Jon Gibson should meet the same fate.

    I can no longer watch your news platforms if this insensitive, dogmatic reporter is employed; and I will urge friends and family to do the same.

RIP Heath.

    Here's my email I just sent to the addresses you listed (AND I will be following up with phone calls too!). You should also publish a list of ADVERTISERS on Gibson's show so we can protest with them too.

    My email:

    "I am writing you to request an ON AIR apology from John Gibson for his vile and insensitive remarks regarding the death of Heath Ledger. How utterly revolting to make fun of this tragic event using a line from one of Mr. Ledger's movies. If Arnold Schwarzenegger gets assassinated would Mr. Gibson giggle that he's been "Terminated" and he won't "be back"? Will he snicker if Charlton Heston shoots himself cleaning his gun that they had to "pry it from (his) cold, dead hand?" Of course not.

    Ledger's family, friends and his little daughter are grieving and in terrible pain right now. Mr. Gibson is certainly not required to praise him, but attacking Mr. Ledge is unnecessary and unseemly. As my grandmother said, "if you can't say something nice, just don't say anything at all."

    I am a female, straight, married woman, so I have no "agenda" here other than an appeal to common decency. I would think Fox News would be ashamed to have broadcasted such nasty and shallow commentary and I hope that you will insist that Mr. Gibson apologize for his appallingly bad judgement."

    You guys are leaving comments dogging Perez Hilton over making fun of Heath Ledger when he was alive and calling him hypocrite.. when most of us view this website and read what he has to say about celebs. We all are just as bad as him. Perez showed his respect to Heath Ledger when Heath died.. and so did we! Everyone makes fun of some type of celeb daily.. and guess what? they'll eventually die too.. that doesnt make us hypocrites because we respect someones death… Theres many celebs I don't like.. and someday i'll witness some of them dying.. but that doesnt mean im gonna post shit like John Gibson did. John Gibson is Unpressional.. and should be fired.. that I do agree. and on other hand I like Heath Ledger.. He was very talented.. and it took someone with alot of nerve to do a movie like Broke Back Mountain… and Broke Back Mountain was a good movie too me.. I wish people would focus on whats happening instead of doggin someone that has made fun of Heath in the past.. im sure everyone has made fun of a celeb… so if what you're saying is so true then you're a hypocrite yourself.

Heath Ledger's family has been through enough dealing with his awful, untimely death. Why should they have to deal with Gibson's tacky behavior, and those disgusting 'religious' loonies who plan to picket at his funeral? Don't people have respect for others? Especially those in mourning? WTF?????

    Please realize that as a media company their job is to present the public with the best possible information. FOX and Mr. Gibson carry the huge responsibility of giving information to this country, this responsibility requires they present programming to the public that does not promote hate or open cruelty. Mr. Gibson’s view of gay and lesbian people, as expressed in this mockery of Mr. Ledger, should not be the message Fox wishes to send to the American people. We are in an age where we have both a black man and a woman running for president of this country, an age where many government officials are gay or lesbian, and a time where such uninformed hate filled comments are no longer acceptable, especially by one of the largest media outlets in the world. Mr. Gibson’s views, as he expressed them in his show, promote negativity, violence and intolerance towards gay and lesbian people, and further an FOX, or Mr. Gibson personally agrees with the movie “Brokeback Mountain”, the homosexual lifestyle, or the life Mr. Ledger personally chose to live, they must realize the weight of the responsibility they wield, and the power they command over the American public.

    I've sent e-mails to everyone I could about this, it's awful and I can't believe he's not sorry… what a shame when someone can be so cold to make light of death for his family members to read and hear about…. no class.

    Hey Perez - Thanks for listing all the emails of who to contact - I normally don't write complaint letters, but this was just too over the top to ignore - I have sent each one of them an email stating my disgust for John Gibson and the whole Fox network

    Thank you for those email addresses and links. I have emailed all the fox people, and several of the corporate sponsers. And all the information is on my personal blog as well for my readers to have at them. John Gibson is a douche nozzle.

    Re: FABIO
    Wow coming from someone who went with "fabio" for their online name, do you really think you have a lot of wiggle room when it comes to taste?

    How utterly disgusting and immature of a major or minor U.S. news-person to slander and make fun of someone's death, whatever the circumstances. It isn't any different that the lynching of blacks in the south, the murdering of Jews during WWII, the torture and murdering of women and heretics during the HOLY Spanish Inquistion and the gleeful killing of the individuals on 9-11-01. When will we as humans grow up, honor oneself and each other, without judgment and mockery, which is solely based upon one's own low self-esteem.

    I am generally a big fan of Fox News and one of their biggest defenders, so it pains me deeply to admit that you're right on the money with this one. I've sent my e-mails in and I'll also be joining the boycott. There is simply no excuse for Gibson's behavior. This is Fox News, not the "God Hates Fags" channel. I expect much better than this.

    Obiviously this individual had a poor upbinging. I guess he wasn't told to respect the dead. Just another au courant narrow-minded good Bible Belt upbringing, no doubt. Disgraceful.

    Thank you sooo much Perez for giving out the info on how to contact the assholes at fox so we could give them a piece of our mind and how this shows even more that FOX NEWS IS THE DEVIL. do you know that the fox network is run by Bushe's people and disney so they will only do stories they want they do not care about the public and they only want things to look good for Bush and his people. TALK ABOUT BIG BROTHER they will only tell you what they want you to hear! I personly think that the the comment about Heith should not only be dealt with accordingly but the anchor should be suspended and fired he is worse than IMUS and to me IMUS is a pussy cat

    i wrote:

    John Gibson' behaviour and comments were fitting of an insane extremist who should not be permitted to relay information across a medium where more then other extremists are prone to be offended and outraged by it. John Gibson has brought a blight upon the name FOx News and henceforward i will view that station with anger and contempt until something is done to repair the situation cause by his comments in relation to the tragic passing of Heath Ledger.

    can you idiots stop rambling about fredom of speech, of course he has the right to say what he wants, it is the responsibility of fox to ensure that bigoted extremists like him are not permitted to be heard by a populous bigger then his inner circle (of like minded idiots i'm sure).

    684

    Well, if Don Imus can be fired for offensive comments, why not fire John Gibson for this? God is who will judge, not John Gibson, not me, not you. We are all children of God, and as such, we are all loved by God. People like John Gibson give believers of a higher power a bad name.

    Oh, I e-mailed ALL of them, including that useless piece of trash himself, who by the way I had never even heard of until this mess. He was clearly jealous of the beautiful, talented young man he was mocking. Isn't that what bullies do?

    690

    Ok, I've done my part by writing the station and as many sponsers as possible. NOW what we need to do is focus on Fred the psycho-freak at the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas!

    I am going to have to contact Fox. I also plan to send this information along to everyone I know.
    Really, I don't think that this should be taken up as a GAY issue. The fact is that a man is dead and some overpaid, overstuffed a$$hole is making a profit by mocking and sullying the name of that man. Heath Ledger was not gay, Mr. Gibson, you dork! He was an ACTOR.
    I am a mother and if my husband were to pass away, I would not want for some idiot on tv to profit by poking fun at his death, making the ordeal even harder for my children. It is disgusting. We are in a world where whether someone is gay or not is not the point. A human is a human and we mourn when one of us passes. THAT is the point.
    FOX is now blocked from our television and will be the case with many people, until that creature is removed. What is next FOX? I think I'd be more entertained by watching someone get paid to take a shit on tv.

    Took awhile but it finally came up- Westboro Baptist Church Homepage. WOW - I am stunned, or NOT, that a baptist church would have that as their .com name. When people like this who are so full of hate, delusion and rage, then they are nothing more than a cult. Brainwashing sheoples to hate and fear something they don't understand or recognize as legit is absolutely mind boggling. What a hypocritical cult. I guess they'll have some splainin to do when they meet their maker, and then they'll get the fast pass to hell when the explanation falls flat.
