Bernie Mac Died and then Isaac Hayes Died and We're Sad

soul_men_bernie_isaac.jpgWell, this weekend totally sucked an egg. Bernie Mac AND Isaac Hayes died. No more 'merica! No more salty chocolate balls! IMDb says:

Comedian Bernie Mac has died after losing his battle with pneumonia. The 50-year-old Ocean's Eleven star passed away on Saturday morning at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, a week after being admitted to the medical centre.

Also:

Musician Isaac Hayes has died. He was 65.

Hayes passed away on Sunday morning at a Memphis, Tennessee hospital. The cause of death has yet to be confirmed. According to reports, the songwriter was rushed to Baptist East Hospital after receiving a call from Hayes' wife who found him lying near a treadmill in their home.

Police at The Shelby County Sheriff's Office are investigating the star's death, but do not believe foul play was a factor.

We struggled for a long time trying to create an emoticon that accurately described our level of sadness upon hearing this news. A simple :( would not suffice. So after a few hours we came up with :^(. The nose kinda adds a new level of grief.
