[Image] From WWTDD,I didn’t even turn my computer on yesterday because of the Olympics, but now that I do I see Bernie Mac has died of pneumonia at age 50. God does that suck. He was just one of those guys who, because of his mannerisms and cadence, everything he said was 10 times funnier than it really was or should have been. How does this even happen for someone that young? Do we live in the year 1580? It's like saying he died of a hex or Viking attack. Anyway, as I'm sure everyone already knew about this, here are some nice quotes from people who knew him that you maybe haven’t seen:
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."
Samuel L Jackson - "I feel blessed to have shared years of friendship with Bernie Mac. My sincere prayer is that his family will be comforted by the warmth of love from all of us who knew and respected this man."
George Clooney - "The world just got a little less funny. He will be dearly missed.'
Brad Pitt: "I lament the loss of a ferociously funny and hardcore family man. My thoughts are with (Mac's wife) Rhonda and their family. Bernie Mac, you are missed."
Carl Reiner – “I’m in utter shock. He was just so alive. I can't believe he's gone."

Goddamn pneumonia! WTF with that? That's how Jim Henson died, too.
I really liked Bernie Mac when he wasn't doing awful shtick (Charlie's Angels Full Throttle, I'm looking at you). He was funny and had a sharp touch.
