Keith Ledger — Who’s That?!?!
Wed, 23 January 2008 at 2:48 pm
The news of Heath Ledger’s untimely death dominated search engines yesterday.
All things Heath filled up ten of the top 20 most popular search words, according to Google. Search strings included his family (former fiancee Michelle Williams and their daughter Matlida Ledger), his apartment address (421 Broome Street), and his most famous movies (10 Things I Hate About You and Brokeback Mountain).
Curiously enough, Americans don’t know how to spell and the second most popular search string yesterday was “KEITH LEDGER.” Smart!
Even smarter are the search strings found at #50 and #58 at Google Trends. Ridiculous!

Sad. Stunned. Heath, why, baby, why? You were loved by so many. When a young person that you know or you think you know dies, it shatters your reality. I had never heard of Brad Renfro and still don’t know who he is. So, it didn’t mean much to me, sad to say. But, because I know who Heath is and I liked him a lot - talented, good looking and damn good looking and sort of that James Dean, Marlon Brando I’m not buying into the hollywood hype thing - it just hit me hard and it’s still hard to believe that it happened. Love ya Heath and best wishes for all who loved him.
I’m sure that’s true and not just a generalization. ALL Americans cannot spell. At least we care enough to search for information.
At first I wanted to say there must be some idiots out there. But then I read some of the other posts and I agree…At least people are concerned.
rotten neighbour lol
So, you have PROOF that it was Americans misspelling the name, right? Couldn’t have just been illiterate morons, no. It’s the Americans. Because other countries CLEARLY can’t access Google. Elitist ****.
i dont get it…
First…….River Phoenix; Michael Hutchence; Rodney Harvey ; Kurt Cobain; Brad Renfro and now Heath Ledger…. sad..very sad…..
this whole thing sux….
rip heath..
i still wonder why..:(
why u gonna feel srry for him…. u didn’t put the drugs in his hand great actor but i have no sympathy for him he did it too himself….
um, well that is funny. but not his dad… it’s freakin SAD
As stupid as it feels, it really upset me when this guy turned up dead. It’s mostly because the media likes to make you feel like you know celebrities on a personal level when you don’t. But it’s also because he’s just so dang young. He’s so familiar. It’s not some Brad Renfro dude this time around. It’s an actor that people actually recognize. A very young and obnoxiously handsome actor that was still making movies that people care about. I’ll admit that I don’t usually give this guy a second thought but I’m defnitely guilty of swooning over him. It’s awkward when an actor/actress I’ve familiarized myself with just dies. But it certainly sucks much more when the guy is only 28 years old. Ugh. I’m sure it was drugs and I don’t like to pity drug users but it does sound like this poor guy was having issues. Not sleeping? That really isn’t good and can mess with your mind and make your life miserable. I feel bad for whatever was wrong in his head. But the foolish youngster really should have thought twice if he was in any kind of control over what happened. Prescribed or not, pills are friggen crazy. It doesn’t always take much for them to screw with your body. I don’t even like taking ibuprofen these days.
Thank God they finally buried Heath Ledger. With all the issues facing this planet the media won’t let this story go. One more celeb hooked on prescription drugs, what a shock. The guy got more publicity than the pope. And the pope actually accomplished something. (i.e. helped bring down the former Soviet Union and tried to bring peace to the world). It’s an example of how shallow and mindless American society has become. And one more thing. I was a medical social worker for 27 years. This guy was on more meds than cancer patients I’ve worked with. Unbelievable! And he’s idolized by the media.
…and their daughter Matlida Ledger….
