RIP Bernie Mac

Written by tha - bang from the blog blah blah on 11 Aug 2008
Favourite this post

Did you guys no that Bernie Mac passed away on Saturday.I was really suprised when I found out about it this morning.Since I had a hectic family oriented weekend i have even read my sunday papers.
Bernie mac apparently died of Pneumonia complications. At the age of 50 , Bernie Mac had already made a name for himself as part of the original Kings of Comedy stand up comedy gang, he had his own tv shows and starred in a couple of movies ( the Ocean eleven flicks and the transformer movie just to mention a few)
It seems death is just a step away for all of us these days.

it hasn't been a good year for celebrities,both localy and internationally.although these guys are people like us but i always think they'd live longer than us.i dont know if this is due to the money or the star status the guys have that makes me think like that.But it is always saddening to hear that someone as passed on.

I saw this on FB yesterday Thabang and i was rather suprised cos i didn't think it was serious and because Morgan Freeman survived whatever was eating him so I didn't think much of Bernie Crack's illness......RIP Benny......

George Clooney: "The world just got a little less funny. He will be dearly missed."

Don Cheadle: "This is a very sad day for many of us who knew and loved Bernie. He brought so much joy to so many. He will be missed, but heaven just got funnier."

Chris Rock: "Bernie Mac was one of the best and funniest comedians to ever live, but that was the second best thing he did. Bernie was one of the greatest friends a person could have. Losing him is like losing 12 people because he absolutely filled up any room he was in. I'm gonna miss the Mac Man."
