RIP Mr. T

[Clint]

It's a sad day for mankind today, because a great hero has passed.

Mr. T died last night in his sleep of unknown causes at the age of 58.

Best known for his portrayal of "B.A." Baracus of the television show, the A-Team. He was involved in professional wrestling for a number of years, taking part in the first two WrestleMania events, going up against, and ending the reign of terror of the villainous Rowdy Roddy Piper. He also starred alongside Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers as Clubber Lang in Rocky III.

Mr. T was born Laurence Tureaud on May 21, 1952 in the rough south side of Chicago, and grew up in the housing projects. His father left when he was five, and his mother raised the family on $87 a month welfare in a three-room apartment.

Mr. T's brothers encouraged him to build up his body in order to get tough and survive in the rough area, essentially turning him into the badass that everybody would one day know him for. His mother was a religious woman, who had an extremely strong influence on him. He's been noted saying "Any man who don't love his mama ain't no friend of mine."

Mr. T was an inspiration to all and will be missed. He was a true role model and an icon, and my prayers are with his family.

After hearing this, I have realized that the world is in a very dark depression.

Rest in peace Mr. T.

[Sinister]

Hey, Clint... There's something I've been meaning to ask you. I know how appropriate it is that you have the Gorillaz tiles championship...but... I demand you give it up... And deliver it to me, the true challenger.

Sincerely,
-Sin

What else can i say but RIP indeed Mr. T

[Halie]

Is he actually dead? Because I've read somewhere else he died last Sunday due to severe head trauma after falling down the stairs. O.o

If he is, then rest in peace. I loved him in Rocky and the A team. I'm truly sad

[Pete]

Can I get a source for this one?

I've looked up and down google and fark for anything, and still haven't seen anything about it.

And Xana, the falling down the stairs thing was crap, I think. I read something similar, and at the bottom of the page, they said it was fictional.

[Block]

I am with Pete here, I feel like this would have shown up something about his passing, but there is naught.

[OceanEyes28]

I PITY THE FOOL WHO THINKS MR. T IS DEAD!!!

As far as I can tell (from my google search just now), it's just a rumor.

[Clint]

I find it highly offensive to the memory of the late Mr. T that people keep questioning his obvious demise. Mr. T apparently had a genetic heart disease, seeing as how his father passed away from the exact same thing when Mr. T was a little five year old T. He died on the night of April 15th due to heart failure. Ironically, he died on the 99 year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, which his great-grandfather died on.

It isn't a rumor, and it isn't a false story. It doesn't appear on search engines because the family of Mr. T have decided to keep it quiet, due to it being a personal issue. The press hasn't printed anything other than speculation due to the fact that nobody knows for sure what Mr. T's fate really is. Unfortunately, I do, and so I broke the story. I am my own proof, and I am my own source.

This is the reality of life. In the blink of an eye, one genetic disease can take a life before it's time.

I can only assume that an individual who goes by the username of "The Clint Eastwood" is a credible and honest source on this matter. Shame on you all for doubting this caring individual!

Mr. T was a great man and entertainer. Not only was he the things that The Clint Eastwood already mentioned, but he also performed this epic song:

I thought that was Gary Coleman a few months ago? Then again I'm not really sure what anyone's talking about soooo

[Josh_R]

There is absolutely no proof he is dead. I also love that somehow you magically found proof that he is dead when no one elsw could. Great wizard Clint I want to use your search engine, so I can find things that no one else can find.

I'm sure you could find proof of this yourself, if you decided to ever use your eyes, and a little bit of detective work. Because sometimes you have to actually work for what you want. It doesn't always fall into your lap, or into your source for news.

I am a credible and honest source. I have never been anything but honest. I always tell the truth. I don't think I know how to tell a lie.

It saddens me that so many people doubt my word, especially when I so heavy-heartedly released the story that an icon has passed. Nobody knows how hard of a thing that was for me to do.

I didn't want to be the one to break the news, and I knew I'd be taking heat for it. For some reason, people always blame the messenger. But it isn't my fault. I'm just as upset about Mr. T's obvious demise.

And I know these people are just grieving, and I know they're angry and in denial, but one day they'll have to accept the fact that Mr. T is gone from their lives forever. It's sad, but that's reality.

Link from a credible source confirming death or stfu

[Robbo]

It's not even on Wiki, which fairly enough can be edited by anyone but i'm sure if it was true it would be on there. Also there are no traces of this recent death at all other than your word.

[Sinister]

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to troll the tread in the above post. I just assumed that's what this thread was for.

Yes, Poor Mr. T. He truly made great contributions to ballet and the performing arts. I wish he was alive...

-Sin

[Rocky]

After looking through the thread again, whether Mr. T passed away or not, we have the whole grieving process (denial, anger, etc) of death plotted out with no problems.

High fives for everybody!!! (this is acceptance)

I am the personification of honest and credible. I am a damn good investigative reporter, and I'm proud of it. I have the combined qualities of George Washington, Walter Cronkite, and the reverend Al Sharpton. Or so I've been told.

Anyway, I understand why people would continuously deny something that has obviously happened. Mr. T has been dead for two days now, and yet people are still saying that he's alive. Yet one thing that any deniers have failed to do is give proof that he's alive, all the while, I've been giving circumstantial evidence that he's dead.

I understand that everybody grieves in their own time, but nobody here even knew Mr. T. Two days to grieve for somebody you don't know is long enough. It's time to get past denial and anger, and on to the third stage of the grieving process; bargaining.

And that is one step closer to acceptance.

[HUNK]

Try to understand Mr. Eastwood, it's much like when Michael Jackson passed for me, I wanted to belive the whole thing was a scam. I watched his enitre 4 hour funeral hoping he was gonna jump outa his coffin and do thriller or somthing but it just didn't happen and I had to accept his death. That's what everyone is going through here. We've lost an entertainer whom we hold near and dear to our hearts, It'd be like if chuck Noris died. People wouldn't belive it...it just doesn't seem possible.

Still (possibly) RIP Mr. T...You made world of warcraft look good, and spread alot of pitty to many a foo's...

[IdiotWithHair]

Good for you, H.U.N.K.. You should be as a role model to these others who continue to deny the obvious truth that The Clint Eastwood has uncovered. And The Clint Eastwood should be commended for his patience and perseverance in the face of so much doubt and nay-saying. The Clint Eastwood, you are a true hero in this sad story of an untimely death of a truly great man.

[Polk]

This thread reaffirms my belief that The Clint Eastwood is the best poster on TFF.

[Dark-Knight Luna]

cool story bro.

[Sinister]

I just found out Mr T is ALIVE!!!

I CHALLENGE Clint Eastwood's sources, his veracity and am impressed with his temerity at producing this meretricious falsehood and FURTHERMORE...
Let me sum up dis thread for all us T fans:

[Clint]

I CHALLENGE Clint Eastwood's sources,

I don't have any sources other than pure bullshit. I was bored because the one guy who actually sparked activity; Angel of Iniquity, is banned, so I posted a fake news story about some random celebrity's death, which drew a lot of attention and helped me post some of the best writing I've ever done on this forum.

So thank you, me, for being a genius with a cure for my own boredom. I am a god amongst men, and should be revered as such, and I am a goddamn American hero.

So to sum this all up, Mr. T may not be dead, but since I don't know him, I can't say for certain that he's alive.

[Yoko]

I have to say, this is the most amusing thread I've read in years. You've not only cured your own boredom, but you've regained my faith in forums as a whole. Congratulations.

The man is very much alive.

God bless you good man, God bless.

[HUNK]

LMAO!
Wow, now I'm the douche. Oh well, Nice one Clint, you totally had me.

Well although it sucks to be told you were beliving a lie, at least I can take comfort in the fact that Mr. T is (possibly) still alive.

It's all good fun in the end right?

[IdiotWithHair]

Whaaaaaaat?! Then this whole thread was a LIE?! I can't trust the word of random strangers on the internet?! Then what CAN I believe in?!

Why, The Clint Eastwood, why?! I BELIEVED in you! I wished the good health of your intestinal tract-or was it your kidneys, whatever, maybe it was both-and this is how you repay me?!

[Joe]

Since it has (quite clearly) Been established that the legendary Mr. T is indeed alive, let's celebrate with a song!



The Clint Eastwood is my hero.
