I got a better idea...

I'm going to paint my face...LIKE THE JOKER...

And carve a nice smile into the faces of all these hate-mongers...

WHAT THE **** IS THAT!!??

Seriously? They are mocking him for taking the role of a gay man...

I am totally TOTALLY upset at this post...(not in a bad way StorminNormin)...

But it just disgusts me...

If you're so bothered at them mocking him for playing a gay cowboy, why don't you just go dressed as a gay cowboy?

I hope you appreciate the irony of saying you'd like to carve up the faces of the hate mongers. I really do.
 
we should certainly draw up some sort of petition idea, where we can show our support and condolences for ledgers family.

as far as ignoring them goes, you all have a valid point. however, there must be a point where action must be taken, as ignoring a group of people picketing the funeral of a father in the presence of his daughter is a crime in of itself.

we should do all we can to give support to the ledger family, and if that means some more publicity for those hate mongers, then that is a small price to pay

All of us showing up isn't going to make it any more 'peaceful.' Anyway I'm sure it will be in Australia. We really need to stop talking about them, it's exactly what they want.

Why is Heaths amazing life being overshadowed by a group of 100 hateful people? Heath has millions of fans. And countless many more millions LOVED Brokeback Mountain. It was hugely successful. Let's put our priorities where they should be!
 
Hunter... I am so so sorry.

I have a question for you guys. Apart from the fact that Heath, being from Perth in Australia, will probably be buried in Australia....

If he was to be buried in the US, and if the WBC was to picket his funeral.

I'm just curious. Most of you guys are americans. I'm pretty sure none of you have every tried to stop the WBC from picketing a funeral before.

Now as I said, I'm just curious. Why are you all so eager to try and stop the WBC from picketing an australian actor's funeral when they have been picketing the funerals of YOUR service men and women who have been dying in Iraq for your country with your flag on their coffins?

It seems to me that perhaps the latter group are somewhat more deserving of your efforts to prevent the WBC from picketing a funeral.

That's all.

Thank you! What I was saying goes far beyond 'claiming' any certain actor and doing something radical like Batman. If we appreciate this man for what he has done, if you appreciate Heath Ledger, as a gay cowboy, a knight, the Joker, then we should memorialize him. Sure, I'd love to go clad in a purple suit and facepaint but I have none of that, and I can't afford to go to Australia. But in all honesty, look at the sheer number of Hypers, if there is any one group of people that could band together to memorialize him properly its us. What family would not appreciate that?

Again, I'm curious, if someone in your family died, how would you feel if a throng of people in facepaint and purple suits turned up? Hell, he played a heroin addict, would you like people pretending to be junkies to turn up?

And how would you feel if those people started a confrontation with a group of people picketing your family member's funeral?

You're losing all perspective on reality.
 
Honestly the best way to 'protest' these guys is with their own tactics, but peacefully. I didn't search through all the pages, but in case it hasn't already been offered:
It's something a group of my friends and I decided on a few years ago in case these guys ever came up to our neck of the woods, which they thankfully never have. It's call 'Project Godlove', although we never made a website or anything for it, but the idea is to 'protest' the WBC by ignoring them. Since they're so public about which funeral they're going to they're not hard to find.
Basically write up large signs and banners, but that say 'God Loves Everyone', 'Love Thy Neighbour', messages of peace and happiness and hope, maybe farewells to whoever's funeral it was, and pictures of happy faces and hearts and rainbows. To the funeral and find the WBC and then stand in front of them with the signs and stuff. Bring some Boomboxes with ambient noise to drown out any chanting/slurs they may say. And just basically block them. The whole point is to ignore them completely, no matter what they say. If they try to push forward, stand firm/block them. Act entirely like they're not there. These people thrive on negativity and spite, take it away from them and they'll get frustrated.
You'll be breaking no laws, violating no rights. They'll have nothing on you. And if they do anything to try and get you out of the way, you can sue them for harassment. If your group's large enough, you'll get all of the attention, probably praised, and they'll be left with humiliation.
No shouting, no insulting, no threats. Just act as if they're not there, they'll be powerless and you'll win.

However, since the funeral's probably going to be in Australia, they won't be able to protest it anyway. No one's gonna let those freaks into the country.

You really need to stop trying to pick fights during a time of mourning and crisis. I can't believe how you're heartlessly getting pleasure by trying to make this somehow even worse by infuriating people and questioning them about the "deservingness" of their grief.

Grief isn't logical, it's not on some moral scale of who did what to deserve what reaction. If you don't like the overwhelming support and love that Heath Ledger is getting for being an amazing artist and kind human being, than may I suggest you don't participate in these threads.

When your time comes I'm sure that those close to you will not base their grief based on "what you've done to deserve great mourning."

I have long been an outspoken critic of the WBC - however it would take more people than just one to go out and make a difference.

Thats why I came here with this idea.

In many ways this would be OUR send off to Heath. This forum was so active, so vital in the viral marketing campaigns - this would be our last job. Our last caper. That was my mindset going into this.
 
You're losing all perspective on reality.

Right, I'm sure YOUR "perspective on reality" is the only acceptable option. Why don't you get a hobby rather than taking advantage of a tragedy and trying to provoke reactions in people during an emotional crisis? Your tactics are no better than those biggot crazies who try to provoke reaction and gain attention through suffering and grief... thats EXACTLY what you're doing now.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Yea. Great idea. Make his family feel better by drawing attention to a small group of people holding up signs by bringing a larger group of people holding up signs, except with boomboxes that have to be loud enough to drown out the smaller group.

Now it's gonna make a huge din, and it's going to create a conflict that could be avoided by simply pretending they don't exist. and of course two conflicting picketing groups will draw lots of media attention...

Yea i bet his family would love that.

Me, personally, on the other hand, I would want to be allowed grieve with as little fuss and distraction as possible. But i'm not into funeral side shows.

Excuse me? I'm sorry but that's crazy. You're comparing me to the WBC for saying that it probably wouldn't be a good idea to go to Heath Ledger's funeral wearing joker face paint and a purple suit???

Are you for real?
 
Who the **** are you?

Anyway peeps, I'm getting out of this discussion right now.

I've made my points, I'm not looking for trouble. I genuinely believe everything i've said, and i stand by it.

I don't want to create animosity or trouble for the mods... So i'm gone for the night....

Peace out.
 
*shrug* I don't see how a supportive group is worse than a spiteful group. There's often large crowds at celebrity funerals.
 
I'm not going to go out of my way and form a group.

And I haven't been one of these people crying about Heath.

I haven't been one of these posters sobbing as if I knew him personally.

(no offense to anyone)...

I am just making my point,

That I am super rattled about this WBC crap.

How does a movie, affect a man's funeral?
I don't understand

--dk7
 
Here's just a thought and a question:

Suppose something happens. Something like the WBC and the Heath fans get into an altercation. Suppose a few people are hurt. Couldn't SHH be held legally liable for part of this? I meanbasically with the stickied thread, it seems the The Hype is condoning this action or some sort. Does anyone know if the Hype can be held liable?

The answer is no.

No, I'm comparing you tot he WBC because you have been doing absolutely noting since last night but staying on the threads and making provocations while people are grieving, and purposefully trying to start arguments with distraught people by telling them they're wrong and they're dillusional and out of touch with "reality."

Clearly whatever part of human beings creates empathy, simpathy and just plain good manners is missing in you. You're unbelievable.

FINALLY. I guess 18 hours of trolling can exhaust anyone.

That's unfair. I'm not trying to upset people. I just don't think going dressed as a clown to a funeral is appropriate, that's all. I just thought that protesting the WBC in this fashion is what they want you to do. I'm not trying to start an argument batfanatic, I was just saying that i wouldn't want people dressed as clowns at my funeral.

I don't see what was wrong with that. If i offended you i'm sorry. But i don't think telling someone they're wrong if they intend on attending a funeral dressed as a homicidal clown is unreasonable.

Now I don't want to draw this out here. I'd like to discuss this with you because you're taking me up wrong and I don't want you to, so please IM me so we can discuss it rationally.

Thank you.
