Strange Parallel


When I saw a picture of Heath Ledger in Joker makeup, I thought of the odd similarity to Brandon Lee in his Crow makeup. Ledger is currently assumed to have committed suicide. Brandon Lee was the son of Bruce Lee. Brandon did not commit suicide, but there's a controversy over whether he was accidentally killed or murdered. He died when the cap from a blank cartridge penetrated his jacket and embedded into his abdomen which was not detected for several hours.


There's media frenzy in New York City over his death. The mainstream media say that there's demand for it. It gets ratings. I think he was a good actor but I've seen it so often: John Lennon, Princess Di, John Kennedy Jr., etc. Enough is enough. The death of a celebrity ought to have more dignity than this.
