According to CNN nerds were so impressed by Ledger’s performance as the Joker that they have now created a petition to make sure no one ever plays the character again. Ever.
Ledger supporters at new Web site, The Ultimate Joker, launched a petition last week calling for studios to remove the Joker from any future Batman movies. The petition currently has 2,431 supporters.
“We think Heath deserves this honor,” the site’s team leader, Fer Barbella, told CNN from Buenos Aires, Argentina. “He is the ultimate Joker.
“We are Batman fans from the comics and from the movies,” he said, “After we saw ‘The Dark Knight,’ we thought this Joker was really the best. It deserves to be withdrawn from any Batman sequels.
“When Michael Jordan retired, they withdrew the number 23 jersey as an honor. It’s the same thing with Heath.”
You know sometimes I just don’t know what to say, but lucky for you I always think of something. So here it goes. First off why the hell is CNN reporting on this? Second are these guys for real? I mean don’t get me wrong I was impressed by Ledger’s performance also but come on!
You know I consider myself a comic nerd. But I have also touched boob so I’m not even sure if I am still part of the guild, association, gaggle or whatever the hell you call a bunch of comic nerds. But this is just going a bit too far. Comic nerds like this gives the rest of us a bad name and leave it to media to only cover these obsessed nerds.
No one ever hears about the comic nerds like myself. Sure I read comics and like Star Wars but I also happen to be an underwear model who defends the world from bloodthirsty terrorists. But I guess that isn’t newsworthy.
