The latter is the active substance in Silicon Valley's drug of choice, OxyContin.

Heath Ledger's death won't end Joker's Web antics

Studio execs confirm in the WSJ that Heath Ledger's death won't stop a clever Web marketing campaign built around the Joker, Ledger's character in an upcoming Batman movie. The campaign, built around sites such as TheGothamTimes.com and the corresponding TheHaHaHaTimes.com, heavily features the Joker's antics. So does the movie. Don't let that stop you from enjoying either. In interviews before his death, Ledger said the role was challenging, but the most fun he's ever had.

Websites do the darnedest things. Or the most insensitive. Like how PageSix.com included articles titled "Heath Ledger and Yet Another Blond Girlfriend" and "Ladies, Look Who's Single!" as related items to the story of actor Heath Ledger's untimely death. Either that, or the Web editors are delivering a very subtle message about the desperate straits of Manhattan's single women.
