Geeks love the Batman. And when you combine Batman merchandise with the fact that Heath Ledger just died, a morbid kind of collectible is born and dumbasses think that it will go up in value despite the fact that a chinese factory cranked out 85 billion of them.

The Heath Ledger Joker dolls from the Dark Knight movie have completely sold out, according to Toys R Us and are selling on eBay for $17.00+

I find it amusing that people are going to overpay for them now and in less then a year they won’t be worth crap. You know, unless you hold onto it for like 50 years.

When your kid says, “Tell me of this Batman you speak of.”

Alright, I’m a geek. I want one. But I’ll get it next year for cheap.

We have strayed away from coverage of Heath Ledger’s death here at Poptherapy simply because others are covering it and we know you come here for stuff you can’t find elsewhere. Well, here’s a Heath Ledger related story that boggles the mind.

Apparently, genius that she is, the masseuse who found Heath Ledger’s body called Mary-Kate Olsen, who was a friend of Ledger’s BEFORE calling 911.

Because we all know that the Olsen twin powers can raise the dead, right?

“Heath is unconscious, I don’t know what to do!” Diane Lee Wolozin screamed to Olsen during her first phone call to her.

A few minutes later she apparently realizes that he is really dead and she calls Olsen AGAIN. (I would have loved to have heard that conversation.)

Super genius and reject of the human genome project that she is, the masseuse then calls 911.(Probably believing that she is talking with someone from one of the two large buildings that collapsed on that date.)

So, if this story is true, it seems clear that idiots everywhere are the right hand of the Grim Reaper, keeping them good and dead until he can collect the soul.

I have a good mind to call Mary-Kate Olsen myself, but I’m saving that for a natural disaster or car accident.
