My co-worker came in after lunch to tell me that "Keith" Ledger was dead. It took me a minute to figure out who he was talking about.
There's nothing more delicious than when a "Gotcha" jerk gets gotcha'd.

Good for them.
Gawker Media, the media source that's not afraid to refer to news seekers as "legions of deaf, misspelling Google searchers who have never read USWeekly ever".
Who cares?
OMG KEITH Ledger died TOO?!? That's like a double whammy, or something.
I'm going to go Google this RIGHT NOW!!
