My f-list just did a fun little thing. All in row, skonen_blades sends me an e-mail with the news, Keith sends a messenger note, warren_ellis sends out a related Bad Signal, then wyldkyss, quipper, smogo, robotangel, flemco, useless_facts, cmpriest, benpeek, city_of_dis, rollick, budgie_uk, and ladyjaida all post to varying degrees that an actor named Heath Ledger has just been found dead. Then calamityjon, a voice of reason, comes to the fore, “Wow, CNN is reporting that Allan Melvin died. Crazy.”
(I love calamityjon).
So, fess up people, who the heck was Heath Ledger that he merits this blogging explosion? Isn’t this sort of thing fairly low down the list of important information? I’ve never even heard of him.
Me, I would think Man Found Overdosed In Mary Kate Olson’s Apartment would be the big head-line.
