Joker Costumes or Death: The Best Marketting There Is

The one good thing about dying is that people really like you afterward. I mean they really freaking like you. Magically, once you're dead, all the bad stuff you did while you were alive vanishes. Any talent you had is multiplied exponentially. Once you die, you're finally, really and for true, the greatest thing that ever lived. At least until the world forgets you.

I'm referring of course, to Heath Ledger and his role as The Joker in the new Batman the Dark Knight movie. Actually, from what I've seen so far, he really was brilliant. I'm not trying to rag on the guy. It's more the people who suddenly are interested in someone only after they're dead that I'm picking on.

The Joker costumes are quite hot. It's a bit bizarre, no? What's the logic in that thought process? Hmmm, cool movie... Wow! That's the dead guy. Oh there's his costume. Scary movie psycho villain. Dead Overdose guy.

Oh!
My!
God!

That'd be the perfect halloween costume for little billy.



Ah, the magic of the cinema and sleeping pills.
