Heath Ledger Comes Back as Finger Puppet

NYC shop Moss has a sort of creepy novelty idea for those in search of the perfect "too soon" gift: Gone But Not Forgotten finger puppets. The commemorative set includes knit versions of six well known names that died this year: Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Jesse Helms, Maharishi Maresh Yogi, Yves Saint Laurent, Charlton Heston and Heath Ledger. The puppets portraying those who have passed on will go for 90 bucks, but there are some glaring omissions from the chosen ones...George Carlin, Roy Scheider and Paul Newman, to name a few.

Spalding Gray would have probably loved to be one.

I always thought Jesse Helms was a penis puppet.

Regardless of whether or not they are "too soon", they don't really seem all that well done. . .

Stupid and insulting! When did we lose all respect for the dead and their loved ones? I hope some of us are still human.
