Ever the ground-breaking asshole, Fred "God hates fags" Phelps plans to picket the funeral of Heath Ledger for the "sin" of portraying a gay man in Brokeback Mountain. I'm struggling, trying to wrap my mind around this. Stupidity based on stupidity based on stupidity... Fuck off, assholes.
We've learned to expect the Phelps clan everywhere. I mean, they picket the funerals of our servicemen and women, for crying out loud.
And, over here, a Fox radio personality made jokes about Ledger's death only hours after he had been found.
The US isn't all jerks (we just have a wingnut media that's in our faces 24/7), and most of us are sickened by the tasteless shenanigans of these crass, classless, loud-mouthed bullies ... I don't know, I lose some hope every now and then, but I regain it even more by surrounding myself by righteous people.

Am I babbling?
The man and all his ilk are complete arseholes - I can't believe this shit that has been spawned in the light of Heath's death. It's just sick.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'm figuring you and I must be of a similar vintage, old thing - love that Dury man, takes me back years! :-)
Glenn,
ReplyDeleteYou babble? Heaven forbid... ;-)
AV,
Well... I'm getting close to 50, but I would never ask a woman (except my wife, because sometimes I forget!) how old she is!
