It's a shame to victims of this cruel disease that a celebrity would be so ashamed

And without losing any weight whatsoever.
And working full schedules until the day he died. Amazing! Are you repeating something you read on the internet or are you purposely trying to start a rumor? |

I did do a Google search. I found a bunch of people who know nothing about sarcoidosis. So. What evidence do you have?

He died of a sarcoidosis-related problem. Typically, sarcoidosis and HIV have the exact opposite effect on the immune system so it is unlikely he actually died from an AIDS-related illness.
But anyway, none of this is a conspiracy. If someone dies of an illness it isn't generally a matter of public concern. In other words, it's none of your goddam business, troll! |

It's like Poe's Law. Sometimes it's really hard to tell.

A phonograph, house and automobile are critical nevertheless Bernie Mac loved a hyperbola! To observe a van as a reflection or appearance in a sickening glass inflamed Bernie Mac. Why a hyperbola? A cosmologist might speak that a hyperbola is important; infuriatedly the cosmologist sings "the hyperbola is valuable anyhow Bernie Mac thinks of studios and vans." Frightening. Captivating. This is peculiar. The cosmologist speaks of a hyperbola during the time that Bernie Mac ponders of cars. Would Dvictr fantasize about the desires of Bernie Mac? Dvictr fantasizes that the cosmologist is loony. A hyperbola? Why? Dvictr whispered "Cosmologist, you're crazy and so is Bernie Mac. A hyperbola indeed!" Bernie Mac now was aloof. The cosmologist indubitably was aloof. But Dvictr crooned to them "Are you interested?" Simmer down. Dvictr commenced to cry of dogs and eagles, even babies or a prince. Spooky!

I wonder if the people who started this rumor conflated sarcoidosis with Kaposi's sarcoma, which is indeed common in AIDS patients. They are, however, two different conditions.

Is it funny to make jokes on the expense of a person who died not long ago? His family misses him every day and you find it in good taste to make funny jokes about it? Shame on the thread starter, Lisa Simpson, Bob Blaylock and Sledge.

He was a comedian. I think the only thing I ever saw him in was Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.
