    I did a quick search here, and did not see this mentioned yet. Forgive me if I'm duplicating this. It does not matter who has died, the fact that he has made fun of it is totally inappropriate. This guy is an ass.

    John Gibson Mocks ‘Weirdo’ Heath Ledger’s Death: ‘He Found Out How To Quit You’

    Opening his radio show with funeral music yesterday, Fox News host John Gibson callously mocked the death of actor Heath Ledger, calling him a “weirdo” with a “serious drug problem.”

    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.

    Throughout the course of the show, Gibson continued to bring up Ledger’s death while discussing current events, jokingly claiming that current events may have caused him to commit suicide.

    On yesterday’s drop in the stock market:

    GIBSON: Maybe he had a serious position in the market.

    TOM SULLIVAN: And possibly today, he looked at the window and said…

    GIBSON: “Oh my God.”

    SULLIVAN: His name’s not Keith Bledger, right?

    GIBSON: He was depressed about yesterday’s downturn in the world stock markets.

    On the Democratic debate in South Carolina:

    GIBSON: Apparently Heath Ledger was suicidal and his friends saw it coming. I think he watched the Clinton-Obama debate last night. I think he was an Edwards guy, cause he saw his Edwards guy was just completely irrelevant.

    In reality, New York City Police spokesman Paul J. Browne told the New York Times that there was “no obvious indication of suicide.”

    You stay classy, John Gibson.

    UPDATE: In 2006, when Brokeback Mountain was released, Gibson repeatedly made fun of the film, calling it “a gay agenda movie.”

    UPDATE II: Newshounds is encouraging readers to complain to Fox News about Gibson’s comments.

    I'm totally writing to FOX. To mock ANYONE like this is inappropriate and NOT news. I don't care if you are liberal or conservative, this was a PERSON with a family. To make fun of someone like this...I hope this dickhead looses his job. Remember how Don Imus lost his job because of what he called a "joke"? Share your thoughts:

    I was so angry about this, that I've written an e-mail and sent it to FOX news at the address I posted above.

    Maybe I'm overreacting, but this prick is too cold hearted.

    So you're not a fan.. It's one thing not to care about his death, but how is it funny that his two year old daughter will grow up without a father. Ha-fucking-larious. You must read the obituary instead of the comics for your daily laughs.. Look! They're reporting another death! People who don't even know them are mourning! Hahaha! Hahaha! :rolleyes:

    Way to miss the point.

    No one says or thinks Heath Ledger's life is more important than anybody else, dude. It's a tragedy that it ended so early and his daughter will never know who her daddy is as a person.

    Kinda like all the people who came out of the woodwork to make fun of Jerry Falwell last May when he passed. Bashing someone and making fun of them right after they pass is in poor taste...http://forums.pearljam.com/showthread.php?t=244114&highlight=jerry+falwell

    no, its not worth more. The only person saying that is you.

    If you feel that way and you would like to draw some attention to some person or cause you feel strongly about, feel free to post a topic regarding it.

    No one is belittling the other passings, news matters or problems in the world. If you look on this forum, there are about a gazillion other topics about a plethora of other things that interest the masses.

    in my opinion, a bunch of strangers talking on the internet is NOTHING like a dick that tries to pass himself off as a newsman to millions of people on radio and television. Its not the same.

    If anyone deserves to get made fun of its some good looking rich hollywood sucessful actor who couldn't curb his drug habit even to keep his two year old daughter. Britney anyone? Is it tragic? Yes but this guy didn't die in a plane crash. He did it to hinself so let's not glorify it. Personally I would never make fun of him. I was really looking forward to the Brokeback Mountain sequel.

    There's no proof he purposely did it to himself. He had drugs for both insomnia and the flu he was suffering from. DOCTOR PRESCRIBED DRUGS.. Did you know it's possible to die if you have aspiren with alcohol? People die of many things prematurely, allergic reactions, whatever.. It's a little early to pass judgement on him.

    Yeah but his chick left him because of drugs and he did time in rehab last year for heroin so lets see what the toxicology report comes back with.

    pathetic excuse for a man this guy is.... anyone who makes a joke about someone's passing is in the worst bad taste and in no way is funny. Heath Ledger wasn't a weirdo just becuase he hated the spotlight doesnt mean he was weird. He was just a normal guy with a great talent. People think he is fair game because he played a gay cowboy. what an absolute waste of space this guy is and that hate group also is in the same category.
    I'm just flying around the other side of the world to say I love you

    Sha la la la i'm in love with a jersey girl

    I love you forever and forever :)

    laughing at someones death isnt right no matter what. but falwell said alot of things to anger people. ledger just tried to be a guy that made movies. ledger didnt make his money telling people what they are doing is wrong and are evil cause of it. not saying its right but dont expect people to be sad that you died after you bash them. if ledger spent his life saying chirstians and right-wingers were cockroaches of the human race the issue might be alittle different.
