    Read about that this morning. He was one of my favorite comedian/actors. In his memory...

  • I couldn't believe it when I pulled up Yahoo and it was one of their news stories. He was so young! Very funny too.

    A very funny man and one of the original Kings of Comedy.

    Rest in peace, Bernie.

    I guess his health had been bad for a few years, you would never know it, but he was on oxygen in between takes

    Woah. This caught completely off guard. Bernie Mac is still so young. Loved him in Bad Santa. Will be missed.
  • I am saddened also, he was funny as hell. RIP Bernie, you are missed.

    Does everyone have to open posts they have no interest in?

    RIP Bernie. He seemed like a good man.

    J, slamming Jesus like that is completely uncalled for and tasteless. I am a bit surprised that you would stoop so low. Jesus Christ is beyond reproach and deserves respect regardless of personal beliefs. If ever a perfect man walked the earth, it was Him.

    bobby, I'm pretty sure that julen was slamming George Bush; not Jesus.

    (Edited to add: RIP Bernie Mac! If I remember correctly, he was a big White Sox fan too.)

    I sure hope so. The appropriate phrasing would have been Jesus followed by a comma if that was the intent. Of course, it is impossible to tell sometimes in this format. J and I have a good history so I really hope you are correct here...you probably are. image

    Bobby,

    I initially took it the way you took it as well. I was surprised at the statement, but now I can see how I may have misinterpreted it as well. Not the greatest choice of words for the context.

    You are likely right, Don.

    Sorry Julen, if I misunderstood. I am sensitive when it comes to Jesus, I suppose.

    In any case, I feel bad about Mr. McCullough. He died far too soon.

    You guys want to hear something odd? So I was flipping through the August 15, 2008 issue of Entertainment magazine. In their News, Monitor and Notes section on page 20, it states:

    ...Comedian Bernie Mac, 50, was hospitalized in Chicago for pneumonia. "Mr. Mac is responding well to treatment," said his rep in a statement.

    Now, I don't know who "Mr. Mac's" representative is or even when the statement was made, but that seems odd to me. Or perhaps, maybe it is not so odd and it is just Hollywood speak, assuming there is such a thing.

    RIP GURU
  • RIP Mr. Mac. I always enjoyed his work on television and film.

    He seems to have been having health problems for some time, and pneumonia is usually not a killer. Looks like his immune system may have been comprimised by other underlying factors.

    Friday morning CNN and several other news outlets were reporting he was responding very well to the treatment and was on a road to full recovery.

    Lame on julen23's part. Isn't it nice when someone mourns the death of an individual by wishing someone yet alive was gone, instead? Pathetic.
