"Ledger played Ennis Del Mar, a married rancher who enjoyed a secret relationship with..." - CNN

ENJOYED?

Shuggy:
Over on the IMDb BBM board, some idiot accused Heath of "abusing rugs". So don't be nasty to the shagpile.

BBM-Cat:
It's hard to be in the mood for humor, but when my husband and I were reading the news article of Heath Ledger's death that had just been released on MSN earlier today, we got to the part in the article where it noted that Heath was famous for his role as a "gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain". Spoken like a true Proulx-ian, my husband said that the article was wrong, that he was a gay sheepherder.

It lightened the mood for just a moment.

I'm getting kinda sick of hearing "the gay cowboy" bit on the news. They're totally blowing the surprise element to anyone that already hasn't seen it!

How can so many people be interested enough to do a google search to learn the fate of a man whose name they don't even know? It tells you something about ... well, I'm not sure what it tells you.

A lot of the others in the top 100 are Heath-related, too. Here's the link, if anyone's interested:
