My friends list is covered with Heath Ledger, while maybe three whole people mentioned the death of Benazir Bhutto a month ago. I'm just saying.

And nobody knew the last German WWI vet died the same day...

Yeah, at 110.
Maybe if Heath Ledger had played him on TV, it would have been notable.

Now this-
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7199127.stm

it's in the water..
But the front page of CNN is a heartfelt remembrance from Heath Ledger's mom's cousin's wife's gardener's yoga instructor.

Did you know that Groucho died three days before Elvis? Neither did anybody else.

I know, you hardly ever hear of anyone 'seeing' Groucho.
And he deserves his own theme park, too. Damn it.

To Groucho?

A bit more seriously... one cannot put a value on a human life against another, but it is strange indeed. Of course Benazir Bhutto had a lot of press coverage here (in these here forren parts, in the UK) but, as Mildred said, hardly a mention in this particular medium. And, flawed in so many ways as she was, she was putting her life on the line to try and make her country (which is key to the stability and security of the world) a better place.

I try not to force shock when celebrities are sanctified in this way. I feel violated that I have to even know who these cunts are.
I'm sad he's dead, because I'm sad when anyone is dead. However, he did nothing for me or the world as a whole, other than being blessed with the good fortune to be cast in movies in order for which he recites lines that someone else wrote (had to get the writers strike in this post somewhere, eh?).

I'm not a fan of Bhutto, but her loss could truly impact the world: not the fantasy one in our heads but the one we have to actually live in.

I would hope that most, like myself, talk about important things in the real world. Leaving lj for urbbish and gubbins like discussing the death of a two-bit twat actor.

Point well made though.

I had never heard of Benazir Bhutto until I read about her death on the news. I do freely admit that I am really ignorant when it comes to anything political.

Ah listen this... you change only one letter that name becomes "Hedger".

Now go on youtube and search for "hedger", the first result is exactly the video you've always wanted to see.

Point taken.

It is odd with Heath Ledger as I found it had a real impact on my emotions, even though I could not work out why.

And it happened on a day when I was at home and could post...
