Best Week Ever has a picture sent in by a reader (hint hint you lazy fuckers) taken last night, showing Best Buy attempting to profit just hours after Heath Ledger died. I actually wouldn't be surprised if it was Best Buy who killed him.

MICHELLE TANNER KILLED HIM IN HIS SLEEP.
I love corporate America.
Um, they are in the business of selling you shit. Good for best buy! Heath was something to be marketed, in life as well as death. People invest in actors and shit TO MAKE MONEY YOU DOUCHEBAGS!!!! Goddamn it, this is all in my movie An Inconvient Truth.
They did this same thing when Lawrence Olivier died. Except the movies were on flip cards and LP records, of course, since that was before the advent of the dvd.

Nice one. Any way to make a yuan…
I think I see Girls Gone Wild in the back there.
Not defending the corporation, but that looks like an individual store's attempt to cash in.
Which would mean that the 39 year-old community-college dropout who runs that particular store took a moment away from browbeating a 17 year-old part-time employee to come up with this brilliant idea to sell a couple more $19 DVDs out of his $3.5 million store inventory.
incredible…
I never thought I'd say this in my life, but I agree with Al Gore.
There were probably lots of customers coming in looking for Heath Ledger movies - he wasn't *that* big a star, and the average moviegoer isn't going to immediately remember what he acted in. So this particular Best Buy did the smart thing: gathered all his movies together in one place and printed out a tastefully simple sign.
But it isn't worth bitching about - Best Buy (God love 'em, most of us shop there - let's not pretend otherwise) made a perfectably commendable business decision.
Good Idea.
He should be named employee of the month and be given a gift certificate for 1/2 off his next dinner at Olive Garden.
At least someone is thinking at this store.
Does anyone remember what Brandon Lee's death did for- or to- the release of The Crow?
I wonder what this will do for- or to- The Dark Knight?
I hate it for his little girl but…what an irresponsible douchebag! Didn't he realize how horrible this would be for his maid? How can you make a bed with a dead guy in it?

I love this, how shameless? But I think Lothar is correct. A lot of these stores have a degree of autonomy. Just look at the sign, it was run off by whatever printer they happened to have in the sales office. The manager of this store is pretty cutthroat.
A good follow up move would to be put out a selection of all the DVDs that have chicks who Heath had bagged in his career.
Certainly the DVDs with nude scenes of those aformentioned chicks.
I, for one, would certainly watch a bootleg of those nude chicks.
I must say the only thing that saved Brokeback Mountain for me was the tit shot of Anne Hathaway and the other nudity from the other chick…..whoever she was.
Well…..that and the ass-fucking in the tent up on that mountain.
Kudos to the Uncle from "Vacation" for calling a homo a homo.
I'd like the suck the cock of the Best Buy employee responsible for this marketing gimmick. If it's a female employee, I'd like to piss all over her snatch.
Best Buy has just announced that Heath Ledger's body will be lying in state in it's Upper Manhatten superstore between 2-6 p.m. on January 23-25th, 2008. He will not be signing autographs, but all Heath Ledger films will be 25% off. True story.
nice one, manservant
What a bunch of ghouls.
By the way, I compiled a video that is nothing but screencaps of Heath's ass. Only $4.95 while supplies last.
Apparently Heath recently refused to join the Scientologists and told them he was going public about how they tried to force him into their cult. And now he's dead, Tom Cruise makes a video???? Coincidence? I think not!
