Damn, that really sucks. He had done a comedy thing lately for Obama, and some douche got offended. Obama then stepped in and said Mac went too far. Anyway, dude was a great comedian, and may he rest in peace.

I wrote obituaries at this paper for a while, and whenever I come across someone who was younger than my parents, I'd be like, "Oh, geez."

That ****ing sucks.

Wow, Mora.

Kind of sucks to die at 50. He definitely didn't even look 50 to me.

Re: Bernie Mac dies at 50

I just heard somebody talking about him being sick yesterday. This makes me especially sad because he's always reminded me a lot of one of my uncles.

I think I've never seen a TV show or movie he was in.



Now, if Don Cheadle died, I'd be pretty upset.
