Sometimes it’s best not to try to figure out Xinhua. Here’s their latest face-palm effort, “Super movie villains of all time.” Unedited and in the order that they appear, here are the captions on each of the 10 pictures under this heading:
1. The Joker
2. Heath Ledger
3. Doctor Octopus
4. The Lizard
5. Warden Samuel Norton
6. Lord Voldemort
7. Hannibal Lecter
8. Jack Torrance
9. Catherine Tramell
10. Ra’s al Ghul
Wait a second…
2. Heath Ledger
Can’t you imagine this conversation happening?
Sub-editor: “Hey, um, don’t you think our selection of Brokeback Mountain on this list of super villains might be controversial?”
Editor: “What, why? They’re gay!”
Oh, Xinhua. Never change.

Add him to the list.
