[Poster's reaction to death of Heath Ledger]Free
My first thought yesterday was... AIDS?
I mean, when did Robert Mitchum, Charles Bronson or Chuck Norris ever do a homosex role - now commonplace in any children's cartoon?
I suspect once you venture down that avenue you already have a foot on the garden path. You're really telling people you do, and it can only lead to early death by AIDS, drugs or gun in the mouth.

Hannibal Lecter ate people, how come these guys aren't accusing Anthony Hopkins of being a real life cannibal? Oh, that's right, cannibalism isn't nearly as bad being a homosexual. What fuckheads!
RedDog, Heath Ledger was a fine actor who died due to a tragic misjudgment on his part. He had a daughter who will miss him terribly.
You are a sick, horrific shell of a human being. When you finally drop, no sane person will mourn your excuse for a corpse.
1. Playing a gay role doesn't make you gay in the same way that playing a doctor doesn't give you a medical degree.
2. Heath Ledger wasn't gay.
3. Most gay people, in fact, do not die of AIDS.
4. With AIDS, it's usually a long drawn out affair. You don't just suddenly drop dead.
5. What does Robert Mitchum, Charles Bronson or Chuck Norris have to do with anything?
6. I'm surprised you managed to have a thought. Maybe you should work on your logic before you try another having another one, though.
Besides the fact that being gay =/= AIDS,

Is it all clearer now?
Do you actually believe that they got two hetero men to fuck each other for Brokeback Mountain? Do you actually believe that Ledger became gay as a result of his role?
It's called *acting,* and the concept has apparently escaped you.
SPOILER ALERT: Christian Bale isn't really the Batman!
You know who I feel most sorry for? Not this guy, because I expect this level of discourse from fundies, but for Mr. Ledger's family who can only watch these ghouls feasting on their beloved son's corpse. I hope they find a way to prevent that fucking monster Phelps from picketing his funeral.
Tempus, you are a liar. Take that back. Why else would Grant Morrison call his performance "definitive" if it wasn't for the fact that the Batman is, in fact, a real vigilante patrolling the streets and that the man beneath the cowl is Christian Bale who inherited that duty (much like a title, one imagines, only with cooler gadgets), from those that came before him?
@Detrs: It's alright. Ledger's funeral will probably be in his native Australia, and I'm pretty sure they've got anti-asshole laws.
Btw, AIDS DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!
So you woke up and though "AIDS?" Then you went to watch Slash fiction (homo erotic fan fics).
I have no idea what the hell you are trying to say in your last sentence but I'm diagnosing you with satyriasis.
Wow. Could the people on that forum be bigger assholes?
And, gee, I wonder why being homosexual would ever lead to 'a gun in the mouth.' Certainly attitudes that people like this hold have nothing to do with it.
"My first thought yesterday was... AIDS?"
My first thought yesterday was "k-tel ez tracer?". Two seconds later I realized I was listening to my alarm clock ring, and I wasn't really on the Gong Show, nor was I telekenetic.
"now commonplace in any children's cartoon?"
Now it's no longer speculated that Tinky Winky is gay, he's giving seminars on the topic, in the magical world of fundies that is.
"and it can only lead to early death by AIDS, drugs or gun in the mouth"
Hey, get your facts straight. Gun in the mouth is caused by infrequent flossing, and in some rare cases, spiders.
"My first thought yesterday was... AIDS?"
And why the hell was that your first thought??
Did you just wake up, as from a bad dream, and scream, "AIIIIIIIIIIIIDS!!!"
My first thought yesterday was... "Hey, it's 12:30. It's been today for half an hour."
'Kay, guys, how many 'homosex roles' can you name from children's cartoons?
Spongebob Squarepants doesn't count.
I can't name any gay characters, but I can name several gay, or apparently gay, actors. Watch the doodlebops and you'll understand.
When's the last time you heard of someone dying of AIDS at the age of 28?
Oh, wait. You're a fundie; you've probably never heard or spoken a word of truth in your life. My bad.
I'm amazed you're able to breathe and walk at the same time, let alone operate a computer.
South Park, Family guy, American Dad and Drawn Together are NOT childrens cartoons. The clue is the adult themes advisory at the start. Still, those are damn funny shows you're watching.
But you better cut that out- if you die laughing, all your Fundy friends will think you died of AIDS.
Acting does not work that way.
And Heath Ledger cannot be compared to Charles Bronson and Chuck Norris on accounts of one of them is the freaking Joker one of the craziest acting roles out there and looks effectively sinister and creepy within that role, the other two solved problems with roundhouse kicks and guns. And to be fair if you are so uncomfortable in your hetrosexuality that you cannot associate yourself with "the gay" then you probably have some serious "closet" issues.
Tempus, you are a liar. Take that back. Why else would Grant Morrison call his performance "definitive" if it wasn't for the fact that the Batman is, in fact, a real vigilante patrolling the streets and that the man beneath the cowl is Christian Bale who inherited that duty (much like a title, one imagines, only with cooler gadgets), from those that came before him?
I stand corrected then. Grant Morrison *could* be taken as authoritative in these matters...
/if only man..if only...
A little later in the thread, there's this line:
"People who mistake fantasy for reality frequently end up dead at an early age."
How long to go until RedDog ends up dead?
Well, obviously. Fundies all know that the AIDS virus is spontaneously generated during gay sex, so simulating gay sex for a movie probably does the same. After all, the virus doesn't have a brain and can't know that you're just pretending.
Idiot.
@ Julie
Well, Bugs Bunny does a lot of transvestite stuff!
H E A V Y. lol
Do you think he might have AIDS too>
>> SPOILER ALERT: Christian Bale isn't really the Batman! <<
He damn well is, Tempus! You take that back! :-)
Gene Wilder is NOT Willy Wonka.
Elijah Wood is NOT a hobbit.
Johnny Depp is NOT Sweeny Todd.
Sissy Spacek is NOT Carrie.
Peter Boyle is NOT Frankenstien.
Daniel Radcliffe is NOT Harry Potter.
Heath Ledger is NOT gay.
Their all ACTORS!
Their PRETENDING!
Please get that through your head.
VULTURES! Fucking, GODDAMNED vultures. Once...JUST once, I would like to hear of someone of some stature dying without these cretins digging them up, and making them into their pet puppet or macabre mannequin for whatever bogyman of the day they are trying to instill fear into the hearts of the public today. Seriously! Do these people have any shame or pride?
As an anime fan, I have to smile at "homosex roles" being "commonplace in any children's cartoon."
...of course, normal people just nod their heads or start reading yaoific when they realize this.
Heath Ledger died of overdose, not of AIDS. Heath Ledger was straight and the fact that he made a gay role doesn't mean anything. If Robert Mitchum had been offered such a role at the time, he would probably had accepted, it's his job. Conversely, what about Rock Hudson?. Again, this guys can't tell reality from fiction.
Fundtard, please die.
kthxbai.
Heath Ledger WAS NOT GAY!!!
Charlton Heston IS NOT GOD OR MOSES!!!
@recoil - fundies see gay characters everywhere. Start to wonder what kind of sick fuck thinks a purple dinosaur wants to have sex with them, or tinkie winkie, or spongebob squarepants, or that stupid penguin in that Disney movie (I thought Disney was neo-conservative).
Robert Mitchum once said "Half the people in America are faking it." Not sure that would go over well with your ideology.
Charles Bronson was awesome in Death Wish III. That's pretty much it for him.
Chuck Norris was never a good actor. Ever.
The terrible thing is that this guy has probably never read Plato's Republic.
RedDog's ideas aren't new - art is dangerous to the status quo. When were hyper-hetero muscleheads like Bronson or Norris ever nominated for an Oscar? When did they ever make real art?
It seems that a lot of fundies today would agree with Plato's assertion that poets were to be banned. Holding the mirror up to life does tend to reveal ugly, beautiful, and revolutionary truths about ourselves at times.
You are aware that he was PERFORMING THE ROLE of a FICTIONAL homosexual character, aren´t you?. By the way, Robert Mitchum, Clark Gable and Rock macho man Hudson actually prostituted themselves in some gay circles to get roles and Hudson, to be more precise, was actually both gay and AIDS victim. So what are the odds that they...............you know?
Your first thought yesterday was WRONG. You don't die suddenly of AIDS, you know. It takes years to die from that, hopefully the new drugs can ward of death for decades.
Homosex in children's cartoon? Huh? I thought we were progressive here, and we try to keep sex out of pre-teen entertainment.
A foot on the garden path? Sounds lovely! I'd love a garden of my own.
Telling people you do, what? Play fictional roles for a living? Make-believe, pretend to be this and that?
What have make-believe to do with inevital AIDS?
Heath Ledger was a straight man who once played a gay man. That does not make him gay any more than it makes Christian Bale a guy who dresses up and fights crime at night. You also cannot contract AIDS from playing a homosexual in a movie.
a homosex role - now commonplace in any children's cartoon?
Stop watching yaoi hentai.
How can you put the name of Charles Bronson in with that idiot Norris? Sure, Bronson made his fair share of schlock movies, but he also was a part of great movies like The Great Escape, The Magnificent Seven, The Dirty Dozen and the arguably best Western of all time, Once Upon A Time In The West! Chuck Norris can’t even dream of roles like these.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
