Except instead of convincing everyone that the Oscar buzz is unnecessary, he makes the fatal mistake of insulting Heath and sending his diehard fans into an angry frenzy. Each year more than 100,000 Americans die of alcohol or drug abuse. It would be madness to commemorate one such death with the greatest honor in cinema. Please give the Academy Award to someone who’s had the courage to stick around. |

(PS: Did anyone see Roy Scheider in the remembrance?) [Us]. |

Fred Phelps and his despicable clan penned an open letter to Heath Ledger's family. In said letter, the Westboro Baptists insist that Ledger himself would want them picketing the funeral. These people are fucking insane. And babies: "Oh, you didn't send me an invitation - boo!" Twats. |
