Every single one of the movie execs would fucking kill for that kind of FREE promotion.

In the harsh business world this is like a dream come true.

The "Reverend" Fred Phelps's Westboro Baptist Church announced plans to protest at the funeral of Heath Ledger.

Why?

The "God Hates Fags" hatemongers will picket the decease Aussie actor's funeral because he is a pervert who promoted homosexuality by appearing as a gay man in Brokeback Mountain.

We wish we could laugh at this stupidity, but it just makes us angry!

Heath may not have been perfect, but he doesn't deserve this.

Probably about drugs I'm guessing. I doubt he would "warn" him about playing the Joker and then bring it up regarding his death.. that's kinda stupid.

Didn't he also just get out of rehab for heroin 4 months ago?

Pneumonia Ruled Out
Yet Michael Baden, a prominent forensic pathologist not involved with the investigation, tells PEOPLE that if the pneumonia had been the cause of the actor's death, that would have been evident in Wednesday's initial results, given that it is "readily identifiable at the time of autopsy, because the lungs, instead of being filled with air, are filled with fluid, and we die from pneumonia because we can't breathe."

He notes: "I would assume under the circumstances that if he'd die of pneumonia that would be clearly stated, because of concerns from the family."

As for the meaning of "inconclusive," Baden said, "My interpretation means they didn't find a proper cause of death. That kind of rules out the natural causes, such as a brain hemorrhage, pneumonia or a cardiac abnormality that is common in that age group. That leaves drug overdose as the most likely cause of death."

Exactly, they're already perfect extras for any monster/zombie/horror/sci-fi movie without having to add too much.

Listen. First of all, I apologized for my remarks. As I explained, the news hit home so there you go. My remarks were fueled with anger and I realize that I offended some people here. I had no intention to do so. Let's move on.

HOWEVER, when the news was first reported I suspected suicide/drug overdose and I'm STILL not convinced that it wasn't. In my mind, it seemed pretty obvious at the time (history of drug abuse, sleeping pills, depression, etc.). Now with new evidence surfacing it seems pretty clear that drugs played a part in his death. Whether or not it was INTENTIONAL or not is another thing.

No, I'm reffering to the person who just felt he had to insult christians.

Why not simply insult the minister?


Don't lump all christians with this *sshole who's going to protest.

TMZ has confirmed two of the medications found at Heath Ledger's apartment were Xanax and Valium, both anti-anxiety drugs. Cops also found Ambien, along with several medications prescribed in Europe.

Given the funeral will be in Australia, if they bother coming all the way over here to protest, they probably won't leave the country alive...

I dont' see the Pope specifically issuing a public statement against Phelps, nor do I see any other prominent Christian leaders condemning his actions. this means all Christianity tacitly supports Phelps. (Hey, if it works for Muslims...)

almost as if it was a joke referring to the fact that ledger played the joker, "his role"...

otherwise i dont understand it. i find it difficult to believe that he actually warned ledger about drugs. and if he did there's certainly no joke there

I went home from work sick yesterday, and with my internet & cable out I had no idea this had happened until a friend of mine called later that night. I was shocked, and had no way of confirming whether he was bullshitting me or not. Christ this sucks. I feel awful for his little girl, and his fans. I've really enjoyed his portrayal of the Joker in TDK from what I've seen (trailers, IMAX prologue), and this news just makes me feel empty inside. Truly tragic stuff.

the $20 rolled up with powder has been debunked, if there was coke they would've easily found it and known it was coke yesterday right on the spot.

Why do we need Christian leaders or the fucking pope to condemn this looney and his actions? I'm sure there are plenty of christians and catholics and Jedis in this thread alone that have voiced an opinion that differs greatly from the westboro lunatics.

I myself believe in Jesus Christ (not sure if I subscribe to christianity though), and feel that people like Phelps are a cancer in humanity. If there was something I could personally do to shut the man up, point me in that direction.

So please, with all respect, fuck off with the generalizations and assumptions (doesn't make you much better of a person).

Man, you guys have no fucking idea what subtlety is. Here's some advice: if you see something like this in the future, do one of three things:
1. Assume the person is serious and ignore him.
2. Assume the person is probably joking and ignore him.
3. Realize the person has his tongue firmly planted in his cheek and either appreciate the humour to yourself or find the attempt at humour unfunny and ignore the post.
