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 ****?

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?"

Livin' on a prayer. :o

 

[murphyc]

He was wanted, WANTED, dead or alive.

 

[Double J]

Shot down in a blaze of glory.

"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 MOTHER****ER 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 ain't gonna live forever.

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).

 

[Double Down]

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

 

[Chef2]

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

 

[Gehrig]

He got shot through the heart

 

[kingcreole]

So he didn't take any bad medicine?

So he didn't take any bad medicine?

No, because there was a Miracle

My in-laws are from that area of New Jersey and The Empress hotel is known as a gay party place. Their reaction was more "Oh my God, he was at the Empress?" than "Oh my God, he's dead?"

I guess the lesson we've learned here is never say goodbye.

 

[murphyc]

Tommy and Gina are very relieved to hear the news.

It still his life, it's now or never, but he ain't gonna live forever.
