R.I.P. Heath Ledger

The first thing I did when I heard Heath Ledger had died was laugh. I feel bad about that in retrospect. I thought the person was just trying to trick me and come off as an asshole. Funny enough, I got a text message within the hour from someone else, who does not know the person I first heard it from. Wow.

Ledger's last role was in the next Batman film, The Dark Knight. The appropriate thing, though, is that I thought the first person was joking. A Joker, if you will. And I laughed nervously. Appropriate? You be the judge. At least it's better than a joke here about how sophisticated The Dark Knight's viral marketing is.
