This is either a very elaborate April Fools Day hoax, or some very sad news. Mitch was a very funny guy.

I hate turtle necks. I have such a weak neck. Plus if you wear a turtle neck it's like being strangled by a really weak guy... all day. And if you wear a turtle neck and a back pack it's like a weak midget trying to bring you down.

Update: hmmm... I'm not believing it. CNN, FOX, and CBS searches for "Mitch Hedberg" don't mention his death. ABC search returns some strange results.

Update #2: Okay, it must be true. I heard it on the Bob & Tom Show this morning. Rest in peace, Mitch.
