Hi, folks,

I don't customarily come into this forum, but I needed a place to vent something, so please forgive me if this isn't the appropriate place.

Lately I've started to see images of Heath from The Dark Knight that are striking me as incredibly tacky. I mean, a bobble-head doll of Heath as the Joker? WTF? Is that somebody's idea of something funny? The man's dead, for Chrissakes!  >:(

Thank you. ...  ::)

southendmd:
Vent away.

Sure that stuff is tacky.  I'll bet Heath must have signed over the rights to his Joker likeness for "merchandising". 

Reality is, this film will make hundreds of millions, and people will buy the tacky stuff.

We're gonna have to stand it, Jeff.   >:(

CellarDweller:
I can see what you both are saying.

I think what you need to remember is thats it's not a bobble head of Heath, it's a bobble head of "the joker".   Heath gave us the most memorable and distinctive Joker....I'm not surprised they want to take advantage of it.

Does that make it right?  No.....but expected.

Jeff Wrangler:
Whichever way you slice it, it's still tacky.

Actually, I'd probably find that bobble head tacky even if he were still alive. ...  8)

I ordered that bobble head doll...
