Thanks to Neil for sending me a link to a bunch of boring arseholes discussing the death of Heath Ledger. Not sure quite why they’re all so upset. It’s on a forum about black and white photography so I expect they feel things much more deeply than us average sheeple, sleep-walking through our daily lives without ever knowing that kind of pain.

I JUST read about it… My heart broke— like I litterally felt it.
I’ve been inlove with him since 10 Things I Hate About You…
And I was so looking forward to seeing him as the Joker in Batman… it’ll be bittersweet.
So talented. So young.

Sometimes I cut myself, just to make sure I’m still real. My parents don’t understand. People like me are more sensitive to emotions. Like that time we ran out of hummus and I tried to kill myself by skipping breakfast for a week.

    I heard ‘KL’ commited suicide because he’d been reading HYS. Zing!

    Someone should make a biopic about Heath Ledger and Have Your Say. Maybe they could get Joe Pesci to play Atom John

    Nelson,
    This is the 5th entry about Heath Ledger in 2 days.
    Has everyone stopped hating darkies & bummers now?

    Nelson, it’s spelt Houmous.

    If you like the places that spell it Hummus so much why don’t you go live there.

    You know.. you NEARLY tempted me into a pedantic hummus-spelling-thread. People like you are worse than Hitler.

    I’d never have guessed you were a American.

    The fact hes dead means he will disappear from all prints of batman, thats why shes so upset. have some compassion, clearly her brains are made of cotton wool, twigs and puppies.

    I happen to know the person who wrote that. She doesn’t think she feels things more “deeply” just because she likes black and white photography. She doesn’t cut herself to make sure she’s still “real.” She has great parents that love her just as much as she loves them. You couldn’t be more wrong.
    Sometimes an actor’s performance can touch you in many levels. That’s their job, that’s why you laugh, cry, scream, or feel scared in movies. They are suppose to make you feel something. That’s what a good, genuine actor will make you feel. Heath Ledger was that actor and his death means not only a personal loss to his family, daughter and close friends, but the loss on an amazing thespian. Nobody is commiting suicide over his death, but we are entitle to feel a little bit of sadness over the loss of someone so young, so talented, father, son and brother.
    Next time you think you’ve got someone ‘all figured out’ just by their like of black and white photography, think you could be dead wrong. Don’t take everything seriously. You might want to get that stick out of your a$$. Seriously, you might feel better.

    RIP Heath Ledger.

    Well that’s us told.

    Anybody else for a quick sing-song of ‘if you dont know irony and sarcasm fuck off back to where you came from’?

  11. on 25 Jan 2008 at 12:22 am Steve

    I’ll start us with the opening line:

    If you’ve not got anything funny to say, keep the fuck quiet…

    Feel free to keep going, chaps.

    How do these characters find their way here? It’s like someone left the gate open. It’s ridiculous-this girl has somehow found out that someone somewhere is remotely mocking her simpering whinnies and has got her mate to come and fight her corner. For starters PopnoI’mnotevengoingtotypeit it’s the internet, if someone is making fun of you ‘online’ and you’re really bothered about it it means you’re probably on the internet too much.
    This fella has got a bit hung up on the whole black and white photography thing. Nobody was trying to say that because you like black and white photos you’re a ninny. The point is you’re a ninny regardless. Not that it matters, see? Chin chin.

    Soz bout the length.

    i told someone to ‘fuck off back where you came from.’ HYS has melted my brain and turned me into one of them. personally, i blame these immigrants, heath ledger, council tax, lefties like nelson and enoch powell, dogshit, druggies and hooded tops.

  14. on 25 Jan 2008 at 7:51 am Nicky

    I personally like the irony of someone whose blog has the tagline ‘nothing I say here should be taken seriously’ coming here to… well, take us seriously.

    (s)he even stole an appropriate Garfield comment a few posts back: http://www.foxxfire.com/gallery/FoxxFire/candy_cane
    bless.

  15. on 25 Jan 2008 at 7:53 am Nicky

    Make that ‘an appropriate Garfield COMIC’. Pop went my proofreading skills.

    Meh! another overpaid, under achieving wannabe ODs. Big deal! add them to the list

    Bastard, your last paragraph beginning; “sometimes I cut myself” just caused a chain of events that saw the dog spontaneously shit.
    From the beginning;
    I read the paragraph.
    A few seconds elapse as the synapses speed the information to what is left of the finking part of my brain.
    Brain sends message through said synapses to other parts of body.
    Recently swigged mouthful of johnnie walker violently exits both nostrils in an extravagant arc all over Lady barnsley.
    Lady barnsley emits a dead waking shriek.
    Dog shits.
    Nice blog too by the way.

    “Don’t take everything seriously.” - Oh, the fucking irony.

  19. on 25 Jan 2008 at 1:18 pm Nelson

    That comment is genius. My attempts to take the piss out of teenage self-importance pale beside the car-crash hilarity of the real thing.

    But if you want a sobering thought, remember that most of us were like this at some point. The difference is that my own pubescent angst is confined to a set of tatty notebooks. This poor cunt is going to have to live with the fact that everybody they EVER MEET will be able to find their naive witterings in a permanent, searchable archive. These kids are gonna be fucked. Or perhaps they’ll eventually exhaust their capacity for embarrassment and then, with all hope of either shame or dignity behind them, turn into Mariah Carey.

    ps. Bill, I’m sorry about the dog.

    Enough comments already!

    But sod it, i have had a couple of pints at lunch so i’m going to wade in.

    Pop iamafuckinghypocrite.

    So its fine to write a blog abusing and kissing the arses of the famous but not one that uses ‘real’ (if most of them can be called that) people as the subject matter.

    I think the real outrage that PoPshite is expressing is linked to the fact that SYB gets extensive reader comments and hers (sorry, but I am making a huge assumption here) gets none at all.

    A clear indication that PoP blog remains entirely unread…..by anyone….including her family.

    In fact, the few of us curious enough to see how demented ’she’ really is probably doubled her unique user profile.

    (Works better when posted against the right comment dunnit )

    who cares! another celebrity rich kid croaked on prescription pills. boo fucking hoo. I wish Britney Spears would follow Heath. I am sick of seeing her dumb ass on the news everyday. Damn it!
    .. and.. if Heath would have been sitting home smoking a pound of pot he would still be alive, hungry as all hell and very tired.
    vote for Ron Paul. :)

    “if Heath would have been sitting home smoking a pound of pot”

    The guy’s name was Keith. Show some fucking respect.

    Thanks for spreading the word about my blog! My daily visits have almost doubled as well as my revenue! Keep it coming guys! Please feel free to criticize all of my posts. You know what they say. If don’t have any haters, you are not expressing yourself enough. Thank you for the advertisement and the links to my blog. By all means, don’t let me stop you from talking about my blog. Thanks!

  24. on 26 Jan 2008 at 2:32 pm dogbeak

    why don’t you fuck off?

  25. on 26 Jan 2008 at 10:28 pm Neil

    So that’s your mum, dad, best mate and three blokes from SYBs reading now then?

  26. on 27 Jan 2008 at 12:58 am Joe

    Pop, we’re very glad for you that we’ve doubled your hit count. I’m sure both your readers are tremendously satisfied.

    Is random promotion of unrelated things now allowed then, Nelson? Especially if you’re going to be a tosspot? And nobody actually cares about what you’re linking to? See:

    SPEAKER! Goes my Brain - http://brainspeaker.joe-baldwin.net - now with one user!

    See, I can be a self promoting pissbubble too. Only I do it with LOVE. This POP! Goes My Cherry character needs to work harder.

  27. on 27 Jan 2008 at 1:59 am PoP! goes my tongue

    Whatever it takes to keep you guys talking about my blog :) Thanks!

  28. on 27 Jan 2008 at 12:55 pm Joe

    Maybe if we were talking ON your blog, rather than ABOUT it (all in distinctly negative tones; I’ve just seen it now and it’s a gaudy shitfuck of a website, like Hello Kitty blended and poured over a copy of Heat, what the fuck is wrong with you?) you might have a point.

  29. on 28 Jan 2008 at 1:21 am Gulper

    Aww, shut up. Enough now. (Although that was one of the most hilarious descriptions of a website I have ever read, anywhere, but still.)

  30. on 28 Jan 2008 at 3:59 am PoP! goes my Tongue

    You guys are too easy! Thanks for checking out my blog. Seriously, it’s only helping. It’s funny how a “gaudy shitfuck of a website, like Hello Kitty blended and poured over a copy of Heat…” can get to people. Gulper is the only one that has said anything remotely smart so far.

  31. on 28 Jan 2008 at 12:42 pm Nelson

    One more post and I’ll edit all the links to your blog to make you look like one of those freaks who draws pervy pictures of foxes with gigantic erections.

  32. on 29 Jan 2008 at 7:59 am Oleanna

    daaaamn, who’s this pop character and what’s the deal? you guys should just stop talking about him/her and she/he will go away. It just makes me wanna go check out his/her blog.

  33. on 29 Jan 2008 at 11:11 am Nelson

    Playing us like a fiddle she is. I feel outclassed.

    I edited your links to point to fox cock.

    Sample:
    “Heath Ledger’s memorial service was held in Los Angeles on Sunday.

    For those mental midgets who would rather read a book than Heat magazine, Heath is the man who single-handedly brought peace to the Middle East and then discovered a cure for cancer while ending the civil war in Sudan.

    Reading the gushing obits, I got the impression that Heath must have died after heroically plunging into a piranha-infested river in an attempt to save a group of disabled children whose school bus had been swept off a low-lying bridge in a remote area inhabited by man-eating wolves.

    On closer inspection it turned out that Heath died after heroically plunging into a sack full of drugs. His greatest accomplishment was spending 90 minutes pretending to be a gay cowboy.”
