Radio Jock Mocks Heath Ledger Tragedy ...more Heath Ledger »

A FOX news host has found himself at the centre of a severe backlash following his distasteful comments surrounding actor Heath Ledger’s death on his radio show.

John Gibson allegedly played an iconic quote from Ledger's hit-flick, Brokeback Mountain, in which the actor said 'I wish I knew how to quit you' and then mockingly joked, 'Well, he found out how to quit you.'

Gibson continued to play another audio piece from the flick, in which Ledger - who died from a suspected drug overdose on Tuesday - said, 'We’re dead,' before yet-again mocking the actor by saying, ‘We’re dead' and playing the clip again.

Gibson also allegedly called the 28-year-old star a “weirdo" with a "serious drug problem" – later on going on to suggest that Ledger took his own life because "a serious position in the [stock] market" or because he "watched the Clinton-Obama debate last night."

Were Gibson's comments out of order? Post your thoughts below!

  • What a disgusting human being to mock someone after they have died. Gibson you are a douchebag and should be fired for these and many other heartless comments about other in the past. You are not cutting edge, you are an ugly American in all ways.

  • About what I would expect from FOX-and bear in mind, this is the station that tries to tout Christianity and make liberals look heartless. What a discusting, pitiful man. Now can someone tell me why we can take Emus off, but not this loser? Hence why myself or no one I know watches FOX.

  • What a total insensitive jerk! I hope that he never loses anyone close to him due to an untimely death. WHY DOES HE STILL HAVE A JOB?

  • Very poor taste. Comments were unnecessary and cruel.
