Heath Ledger is a damn fool. There has not been a single report of the banning of the movie in West Virginia and yet he insults the ENTIRE state by implying residents there are a bunch of lynching murderers.

These Hollywood types are not just idiots. They are pure evil.

You can expect both of these moronic pinheads to jump into the Brokedick Mountain controvery up to their necks. This is how they guarantee themselves Oscars and other crappy awards given out by their artsy-fartsy Liberal pals.

But that's a state that was lynching people only 25 years ago, so that's to be expected," Ledger said.

What the....? It looks like I missed something really important during my formative years.

lynching people only 25 years

The last lynching in the US was in 1964, 2 whites and 1 black.

Hey Heath, I also bet you won't be hearing from Mel Gibson anytime soon about movie offers.

I screwed up and saw "Brothers Grimm." What a bunch of garbage. Judging from the trailers of "Casanova," Ledger better hope his "gay sheepherder" movie makes some money. If not, he better start practicing flippin' burgers unless he can get a job as the french fry guy.

Oh, jeeezzzzz. This from a 26-year-old Australian who probably couldn't find West Virginia on a map even if it was highlighted for him.

The "dark age" he's referring to when people were dropping like flies in West Virginia was 1980, BTW. Yep. That was a real "dark age," alright. Ronald Reagan was elected President that year.

A little thin-skinned there Heath Bar? Maybe this film hits too close to home?

Was Heath the pitcher or catcher in this film? Maybe he's still a bit cranky...

Huh? I'm sure this pic is going to do wonders for his career, especially Down Under!

It's a ban????????

He's one of those whiney types that expect the government to force private property owners to make things comfortable for them..........and that's OK. But when private property owners make their own decisions about how to run their business that's bad.

Yup - I get it now.

"I heard a while ago that West Virginia was going to ban it. But that's a state that was lynching people only 25 years ago, and that's to be expected...,"

Labeling the citizens of WV due to something he had "heard"? All people from Australia are so arrogant. /sarcasm

"I think it's hilarious and very immature of a society."

To judge an entire society based on the freedom of a PRIVATE business to select which ever movie they choose to feature in their theatres as being immature?!

How ironic.


"...I think we should be more concerned if two people express anger in love, than love."

"...anger in love..."?????????

An oxymoron? Is Mr. Ledger expressing anger in love, or his love of anger for those who do not love his "values"? /deep sarcasm

Mr. Ledger should play a super-villain; Captain Ironic. After all, his statements are laced with such zingers as,

"It's sucks, because it's only like it when I come back to Sydney..."

Mr. Ledger really wants it both ways. Liberal America is welcome to indulge him. I am not one of those individuals. Congratulations to those private business owners in the good state of Utah and West Virginia, and their citizens who chose to promote virtue rather than smut.

Let's see, he stars in Casanova as a womanizer and stars in Breakback Mountain as a gay sheepherding butt bandit. How can he have any credibilty as either.

Really? 1981? Even KKK Byrd was beyond that by then.

Ledger is a real maroon.

Of the paparazzi, he said: "It sucks, because it's only like it when I come back to Sydney. It's not like that here or in Brooklyn, where we live now."

Let me guess, Park Slope? I seriously doubt Ledger would survive in Bay Ridge or Gravesend, to say nothing of Bed Stuy or Crown Heights.

That lynching crack is gonna go over real good in the South. Dumbazz.

I liked him and was trying to ignore this queer film he was in so I could continue to watch his other movies. But no they always gotta open their stupid traps.

Ledger said he was not surprised a Utah cinema had banned Brokeback Mountain, which depicts a lifelong love affair between two Montana cowboys. "I heard a while ago that West Virginia was going to ban it. But that's a state that was lynching people only 25 years ago, so that's to be expected," Ledger said.

Who's got the WV ping list?
