After two of the cast members of the movie Soul Men died suddenly, gossip blogs reported rumors of a "Soul Men curse." Comedian and actor Bernie Mac died on August 9, 2008 and R&B legend Isaac Hayes died on August 10. Because both Mac and Hayes were black men over 50, some have speculated that Samuel L. Jackson might be the curse's next victim.

A Skeptical Eye
The "Soul Men" curse is one of many so-called curses involving movies and television shows. The Web site Snopes.com provides a detailed analysis of how to debunk such a rumor, using the Our Gang series of short films as an example.

The Snopes article explains how "curse" rumors cherry-pick facts to fit a pre-conceived pattern, distort information and make tenuous connections. The article also gives a brief statistical analysis of nearly 30 actors that starred in Our Gang, showing that the life expectancy of the group was actually higher than average. -
