Topic: Bernie Mac dies

Comedian Bernie Mac dies aged 50

This seriously dampened my day.

What a shock.

What a guy.

Dearly missed.

[ShyGuy]

Yeah this was a huge shock, My thoughts and prayers for his family.

[Khushrenada]

Wow. That was unexpected.

I'm with you man, this totally bummed me out when I found out this morning.  I loved Bernie Mac, he was so hilarious.

Sad thing about it too is that just last year he said that he planned to retire soon and enjoy his life.   

He died of pneumonia...is it just me, or does that seem like a really weird thing to die of in this day and age, when you're only 50 years old?  I know the elderly can die from it, but that's because they're too weak to fight it off.  He did have a rare lung disease a few years back, but that was apparently in remission...

[Bill Aurion]

Well it says he died from complications of pneumonia, so there are a variety of factors that could have ended his life, such as infection or increased fluid in the lungs (which decrease the amount of oxygen getting to tissues)...

It's sad to see him go...He really was a funny guy... =/

[Ceric]

Now who will be Chris Rock's vice President?

All seriousness aside that really stinks.  Sad day for all.

He was my favorite King of Comedy.

Even if you never met the guy show some respect. Death is nothing to be mocked, no matter the person.

Mr. Vega does not care what Pap thinks.

Anyway this is really sad to hear, by all accounts he was a decent guy and to die from something so common is heart breaking.

Too soon.  And not funny.

[UncleBob]

Too soon.  And not funny.

I agree with the second part, but for the "too soon" part, less than 24 hours later, we had a topic poking fun of the death of a lady that got hit by a flying stingray (or stink ray, if you will).

[Flames_of_chaos]

I was shocked when I read that he died, he seemed like a person that's really healthy for a 40 - 50 year old.

[Maverick]

All I can say is "Som'na bitch!"   

How long did his sit-com last?  I liked it, but I have trouble following shows on network television for some reason.
