I'm 28 and I remember seeing something on TV about Nelson Mandela's death when I was little.

I think I was waiting for Saturday morning cartoons to come on, and there was some program talking about how he had just died. They used to show all kinds of weird stuff before the cartoons -- really depressing "save the children" infomercials with all this footage of AIDS babies in Africa, etc.

Anyway, you're not the only one who remembers hearing that he died.
