Death=Profits

What business is crass enough to try and profit from the media hype of a celebrity death less than 24 hours after the actor has died? If you guessed Best Buy, you guessed correctly.

And that's why that Manager will soon be the District Manager.

It really doesn't surprise me that much, after all it is "AKA, those f#ckers".

Yes, one MORE reason to hate that place.

It was pretty shocking news. For the most part I liked his movies, not so much First Knight but that wasn't his fault. It's always sucks to hear of someone with what seems like great potential die at such a young age.

Everything I have heard about him in the Dark Knight is that he walks away owning the Joker. His career has been hit and miss based on his ability to get roles with depth. It looked like he was finally going to get those roles on a regular basis. Its the kind of career actors dream about attaining.

Had it been Britney or Amy Winehouse or one of those that you constantly see flirting with death, you might tend to understand as sad as it would be. But this is utterly unfortunate because among the many men his age acting, he seemed to actually be an actor... someone with longevity. I'm glad to see the recreational drug and suicide rumors have been put to bed finally and that his memory will be able to take some honor with it.

I am more sad than I feel I should be, I wasn't even that big of a fan.

Given. The media attention has been excessive. Then again, I don't think you have to be a fan to mourn unrealized potential. Or feel for a wife and a daughter who are suddenly without someone they love. Its tragic no matter how you hold it to the light.

Were they still married? They've been separated for about a year, I think.

Yeah, but I doubt she feels any different about his death because they were divorced.
