    I know my wife and I saw it and thought the worst until it was shown to be a hoax. Glad to hear that but what kind of sicko plants this shit?

    Couple days ago I saw a similar thing about Jim Carrey.

    If they really wanted to convince people Bon Jovi was dead, they would have written that he was shot through the heart, then received some bad medicine.

    "Stevie Ray Vaughan is dead, and we can't get Jon Bon Jovi in a helicopter?"

    Nice pull!

    That's been a punchline with a friend for years, whenever the op has presented itself. Has been replaced lately by a bit from Jay Mohr, tho. On his podcast Mohr did a spot-on impersonation of SNL announcer Don Pardo in telling a story about his SNL days. He says he was chatting up Pardo and asked who was his favorite musical guest ever.

    Pardo: "BJ!"
    Mohr (straining to fill out the initials): "Uh... Billy Joel?"
    Pardo: "Are you crazy? Bon Jovi! That MOTHERFUCKER CAN SING!!"

    So, of course, now whenever Jon's face pops up on TV or Bon Jovi music plays, someone has to bust out the new catchphrase.

    He wasn't as close as, the Holy Ghost is.

    (That just might be the worst lyrical couplet of all-time, but that's an argument for another day).

    I don't know who is out there playing these games, but this gives the Internet a bad name. Bad name.

    Apparently, he needed someone to lay their hands on him.
