Bernie Mac passes away.

Mac passed away today in Chicago from complications due to pneumonia. He was 50 years old. A career cut far too short. Bernie's comedy drew on a number of experiences from his childhood and he was no stranger to controversy. In just a few years this amazingly talented man became a household name.

George Clooney has said that with Bernie's passing the world "became a little less funny". I have to respectfully disagree I think the world became a lot less funny. Even in movies where he was supporting actor such as Charlie's Angels, Bad Santa and Transformers he managed to steal every scene he was in. I don't think it was possible to not like him.

Your talent and charisma were second to none. Goodbye Bernie, you will be very sorely missed.
