The Heath Ledger story in 51 words

How can you possibly get across all the Heath Ledger news today? Each major Australian newspaper had around ten articles — and the Herald Sun had about 15 (with 11,500 words devoted to the actor and his death). That’s a lot of copy to crunch.

Crikey’s here to help. We’ve taken as many of these articles as we  could and squashed them into a tag cloud which gives you the story in a mere 51 words.

    The folk bard Pete Seeger is clear decades ago, much stronger in the singing too http://www.peteseeger.net/NormaJean.htm

    Oh Guys,
    I just feel so good knowing that he was such a great actor and my heart just bleeds for him.
    I cried.
    and cried.
    Thankyou.
    Love Judy
