profiting through tragedy

Heath Ledger and Best Buy
A shopper took this photo inside Best Buy only a few hours after Heath Ledger's death was announced. I'm not easily offended, but this seems *a bit* rushed. Don't ya think?


Thanks to Josh for the heads up. Read more at Best Week Ever.

Even after the tech shootings, people had the nerve to use that as an advertising promotion. I saw literally thousands of items for sale in the months following the shooting with the tech symbols and what not. Even mustard bottles had tech coverings, as if it would pressure others to buy it.

Everything about his death is so weird. We got baptist protesters. Best Buy, some crazy radio jockey making fun of him. It's so strange
