Words connot express just how angry I am with these monsters who claim to be Christians. Really... I bet these are the same kooks who protest at the funerals of dead soldiers, too. Shameful...

Actually, you're right -- they're the same guys most likely. These nutjobs preach that the U.S. deserves to be wiped off the face of the earth because gay marriage is permitted -- and that our military's lack of success in the middle east, Hurricane Katrina, and just about every disaster is the result of God's wrath.

Seriously, I don't understand why the Constitution protects ignorance and obvious attempts of just pissing people the f*** off. If I had the means, I would make the trip to personally prevent this protest from happening.

How many religious fanatics there are doing the exact opposite of what their religions preach... It sickens me. Advocates of intolerance all have their own fiery pit reserved in their version of hell.

People, it's the Westboro Baptist Church, the world's biggest jackass organization. Are you actually surprised?

I didn't realize that until I looked it up. I didn't notice the URL. I'm honestly surprised no one in that Organization has been killed yet during a protest.

I'm more surprised by the fact that they are actually going ahead with this f***ed up idea. Protesting at a funeral? All because of a role Heath played in a film? Cripes, you may as well kick everyone of the guy's family members in the groin while you are at it. Bastards.

There should be a mass of gay or even asexual picketers there kissing in front of the proceedings just to spite them.

This isn't even the tip of the iceberg for these guys. Look them up sometime to see what other douchbaggery they've been a part of.

I can't believe any human could be capable of going to a funeral of a beloved person, and publicly mock them and their family. I swear to God if I ever witnessed those people in the act, I probably couldn't stop myself from clubbing them all in the back of the head with rocks.

For a second there, I was worried that no one was going to sully his memory. Thankfully, we have some very diligent assh*les in this country.


I feel bad for Heath's daughter. What must it be like for her? Poor kid.

What pisses me off the most about the protest ad is the fact that they are stating where Mr. Ledger went to after passing away. As if it were up to them. It is between God and Heath Ledger what happens- NOT up to the Westboro people.

Not to mention it is VERY tasteless of them to protest his funeral. Instead, they need to educate people against the dangers of drugs- since THAT is what killed Mr. Ledger.

As GK said, the WBC is known for this kind of bullsh*t. They only exist to piss EVERYONE off. Especially homosexuals but also Muslims, Blacks, Jews, Democrats, Republicans and even other Christians.

So, they all have passports and money to go to a funeral in Australia?

I am assuming, naturally, that his family will want him buried at home-- and I further assume that the group, SHOULD they actually find the means to get there and locate the funeral, will have the crap beat out of them by the fine Australian people (or intercepted at the airport and immediately deported).

That "group" is basically one family. The father should be arrested for child abuse because of how he's raised those kids all these years.

I heard about Heath's death yesterday, and I am saddened by it. I wasn't a fan of his work, but it's horrible that he had to die at such a young age. My condolences go out to his wife, daughter, other family members, fellow actors who knew him, and the fans who loved his movies. This is truly a tragic event.

As for these Baptists, they are idiots. Leave the man alone so that he can be mourned by those who loved him.

Well, it's comforting to know it wasn't drug abuse. Now it's just really saddening. Same illness that killed Jim Henson.

I wouldn't classify these guys as Baptists. They are religious zealots and extremists who are no better than the Taliban, IMO, and they are a class unto themselves. To call them Baptists (or any group of Christianity) is an insult to the religion they claim to represent.
