I hadn’t planed on mentioning the death of Heath Ledger.  I liked his work, I’ll always remember “10 Things I hate About You“, and I actually enjoyed “The Brothers Grimm“, despite Gill’s dislike of everything Gilliam.  In the end though, he was just another celebrity actor, so like I said I hadn’t planned on saying anything but I just got back from the grocery store and what I saw pissed me off to no end.

He died Tuesday afternoon.  It’s now Friday afternoon.  How in the hell did People magazine manage to make him their cover story in just three days?  And why was every magazine rack at the checkout lane filled with it?  I have this mental image in my head of somebody running into the printing plant yelling “Stop the presses!  Dead celebrity!”
