From a Very Special Bad Signal sent out within hours of Heath Ledger’s announced death, still referencing the Mary Kate Olsen connection that was proven to be incorrect:
bad signal
WARREN ELLISNew record for the internet: the sick jokes started within seven femtoseconds of the announcement of his death.
In case you’ve been unplugged today — Heath Ledger’s dead. In case you missed the details, he was found
naked in Mary-Kate Olsen’s Manhattan apartment, pills scattered around his body and dead as fucking
hell of a cardiac arrest most probably induced by an overdose.I like to think that, in his final hours, he sat there and considered: I’m definitely going to kill myself, but how
can I give it that extra edge that the media love? How about.. I break into the home of a beloved one-time child actress, take off all my clothes and rub myself all over her bed first? Yes, that’s the ticket, no better
way to completely fuck up the life of my two-year-old daughter than to leave behind a Legendary Sleazy
Suicide… what the hell, Cobain’s kid will probably be selling her Vicodin in a few years anyway…Heath Ledger, then. Entered film like a lion. Left the world like a limp prick with spots on it.

In fact, Byrne’s handled this with outright class, so Ellis didn;t even have to try as hard as he did to claim the mantle.
I had thought he was at least ten years older. Even that would be far too
young to die. At the least, let us hope this was accidental. Show Business
has far too many of the other kind of tragedy.RIP
Thus the reason that I unsubscribed to his stupid emails…
Someone should rape or kill Warren. He’s fairly useless as a human being.
For those keeping score at home, here’s what Byrne had to say:
“I had thought he was at least ten years older. Even that would be far too
young to die. At the least, let us hope this was accidental. Show Business
has far too many of the other kind of tragedy.
RIP”

That’s actually in the above post…?
Oh maybe I missed it? Weird.
Warren Ellis is a tool of monolithic proportions.
>>Someone should rape or kill Warren. He’s fairly useless as a human being.<<
At least wait till he finishes Planetary.
He did “finish” Planetary. 26 was the last issue. More anti-climactic than a Stephen King novel. Warren Ellis is a dick. Everyone knows that. It’s the character he plays for his fans. He writes a bunch of good comics, a few shit comics, and they all star cocky smart-asses. You know this by now…
What? But Warren Ellis is so cool…
Ask any Suicide Girl!!!
(giggle)
bloody gimp.
Really? I always though issue 27 was supposed to be the last ish? Even Cassady has said so.
Yeah there’s one more issue.
Irony:
Warren wanted everyone to be patient for a few years on Planetary because his dad died. Now he’s ripping Heath a new (if falsly identified) one.
MORE ironic? BBB acting like a human being about Ledger’s death? Wow.
This whole “what offensive thing can I say that will make me look cool” business was ALWAYS pathetic, even when practiced by people with talent.Give it up, Ellis- punk was THIRTY YEARS AGO.
sooo he thinks he was ten years older eh…well thought was as well when when he wrote strange kiss…guess what ever does’nt kill makes you stranger eh
an forgive my spelling with out the proper pronounciation
Oops… My bad. The comic store dude said 26 was the last. Well, that’s a relief, because if 26 WAS the end… boooo…
So has this fat fuck recanted? Or is he just an unknown John Gibson?
I do not believe this
