[CharlieMac]

Wow. He made Guess Who, the Oceans movies, and Head of State watchable. Hell I even enjoyed him in Mr. 3000. I usually shrug off celebrity deaths, but this one is a downer.

[Fat Bones]

THAT sucks.

[ShoogarBear]

Wow, a shock. They said he was getting better. RIP.

I still remember him ripping up the house on Def Comedy.

[hater]

How in the fuck can we not save a 50 year young man from pneumonia

maybe he had aids?

[E20]

Was he coming out with a movie anytime soon that was in post production? He'd win an oscar.

[Trainwreck2100]

Reports i've seen say he had sarcoidosis which is an immune disease that 16/100000 men get.

R.I.P.

Last week when he was in the hospital, there were false reports that he had died. But then his publicists came and out and said that he was doing much better and would fully recover. :( Sad that he didn't make it but it looks like sarcoidosis isn't curable. I had never heard of it.

[duncan228]

Wow, a shock. They said he was getting better.

I just read yesterday that he was recovering. What a shock.

He'll be missed.

[florige]

Holy crap!!! What a freakin shocker!@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I heard he was getting better too.....:wow

[I. Hustle]

:(

Well he had sarcoidosis; my aunt has that also and 5 years ago she had a severe pneumonia that lasted 8 months including 2 months hospitalized and 2 surgeries.

Very sad to lose such a young man like that. RIP

[baseline bum]

LMAO@Shoog's post. I was about to link the same video. Damn, Mac's going to be missed.

[Anti.Hero]

wow

He was a funny dude.

[Brutalis]

Shocked.

RIP.

[v2freak]

He was in my favorite movie, Bad Santa. There go two great comedians, John Ritter and Bernie Mac. RIP

[lefty]

I really didn't see that one coming

RIP :depressed

[tp2021]

I can't believe he's dead.
When i saw the headline upon opening ff to my homepage, i was like "What? No way..."

[MannyIsGod]

Dude this fucking sucks. :(

[RashoFan]

RIP Bernie Mac.

[1Parker1]

Wow, what a shock, and he was so relatively young. RIP. :depressed

I loved him in the Ocean movies and Guess Who and even liked his tv show, the Bernie Mac Show.

[MannyIsGod]

The Bernie Mac show was really underrated.

[Jekka]

When I was working graveyard, the Bernie Mac Show was always what we looked forward to the most at the office, that man provided us with countless hours of amusement in an otherwise depressing atmosphere. He will be missed :(

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

The Bernie Mac show was really underrated.

sarcoidosis is an auto-immune disease, treated with drugs to suppress/destroy the immune system, leaving him defenseless and unable to fight infections.

Rack up another death for medical science. The drugs worked great, to bad the patient died.

boutons, you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

This is a recording.

Agreed!!!!
I too have an autoimmune disease. Systemic Lupus (SEL) and I guarantee you that without the Immunosuppressant/chemo/steroids, I wouldn't be alive right now. There is a frickin reason they need to suppress your immune system. If they don't suppress your Immune system then it stays in a hyper vigilant state and thinks everything in your body is a foreign invader and launches an attack on it. By suppression, you can keep all those little immune soldiers from misidentifying your organs as bad guys. Yes we do have to be careful to get a lot of rest, stay away from large crowds during flu season and babies who have recently received any live vaccine. But other than that it just common sense to wash our hands a lot.
The invention of these and many other disease modifying drugs have saved many more lives than they have taken.
Please, please, please think before you make such ignorant statements. I may not change the fact that you make them but at least then you'll know why people get pissed at you.

Why couldn't it have been Tyler Perry?

RIP, Mr. Mac.

Truly one of the deserved Kings of Comedy. It's sad, but ultimately he seemed to live a good life that was just ended too short, and he's with the great ones now.

Hey Shoogs, GFY

"But because he had it, his immune system was compromised. He had an infection ... He was on a new medication that suppresses the immune system, and that's where the pneumonia came from."

Bernie was also infected with a second strain of pneumonia while was in ICU

The medication worked, the patient died from the medication.

[Spurtacular]

Bernie Mac was funny. And IIRC his show was still going, not canceled when he died at like 51.
This death hit me harder than most even though I wasn't a huge fan.
