The Greatest Villian Ever

It's sad Heath Ledger died. It really is. He was talented and not a whoring douche bag, like most celebrities. But at least his final part will be as the greatest villain of all time. The Joker.


The Joker is, definitively, the greatest villain ever created. He is, without a doubt, completely insane in a way few people can ever imagine. Such an instability is actually the Joker's greatest asset, as he in completely unpredictable. At any given moment he could kill a room full of school children or give them all lollipops, whichever he deems funnier at the moment.

But perhaps The Joker's insanity isn't quite so insane at all?

It has been theorized that The Joker's insanity isn't insanity at all, but in fact a form of super-sanity. A way for a normal man to deal with the all of the cruelty and barbarism found in the world today. A way for a person to match the insanity of the world around him.

The Joker is a cracked reflection of society, twisted and bent to show us all of our flaws and inhumanities.

So maybe The Joker isn't insane at all. Maybe The Joker is more in touch with society than all of us.

And maybe, just maybe, because The Joker accepts the world while we deny it, we're the crazy ones, not him.

Maybe we just don't get the joke.


And the word of the day is:
New Religion
