RIP Billy Mays

Unfortunate year I suppose...

View the press release.

 

Just saw that too. Does this mean QVC will be playing his infomercials all day in tribute?

 

I'm kind of bummed. Not a fan of infomercials at all, but I've been watching a few of those Pitchmen shows recently and it was actually kind of interesting and Billy looked like a pretty fun guy.

 

Wow, they are dropping like flies. I hate that ShamWow guy!!!!!!!!!!

 

Don't worry. He'll be getting the shank soon enough.

 

Wow! This has been quite the week.

 

I think Vince did it...

 

I actually like that new show pitchmen too.

 

Billy Mays was found dead in his home this morning.

'Infomercial King' Billy Mays Found Dead in Home - Celebrity Gossip | Entertainment News | Arts And Entertainment - FOXNews.com

I don't know what to buy anymore. All is lost.

 

Yeah, that sux!! The guy was an annoying icon!!! Hate that he's died... Pretty young too.

 

This is just crazy, 50 years old as well. I wonder who is next
Pick Ryan Seacrest, pick Ryan Seacrest...

 

Billy Mays, dead at 50? Dang.

 

And now his secret lifelong relationship with Jacko will be revealed.

Mays couldn't go on without him.

 

He will be missed. I wonder which of his amazing products was used to clean up the mess

 

Naw if anything it was with Vince on the show. Those two fought like an old married couple.

 

I'm waiting for the Pol to chime in.

RIP Billy.

Word has it his arteries were clogged with Mighty Putty.

 

Should have used the awesome auger to clean them out.

 

like everyone on face book who yelled at me for making fun of MJ..

it is too soon lol

 

Maybe he OD'd on OxyClean?

Damn... He was annoying but I'd been digging the pitchmen show too and he seemed a good guy. RIP Billy.

 

But you love his nuts, right?

 

I reeeeeeeally liked that pitchmen show. This sucks.

 

****e! I, too, like Pitchmen... just watched this morning's re-run.

Too young...

 

It actually bums me out a bit about Billy Mays. All jokes aside, he didn't seem like a bad guy and I have far more respect for him than another recently dead individual who people seem to think was Jesus.

RIP Billy.

 

My girlfriend thinks he cut himself shaving and Vince brought him a Shamwow to soak up the blood. Like a vampire, it sucked him dry.

I will miss this man on TV. It is such a shame at 50. I bet they will find out it was a heart attack. He wasn't the most fit looking individual.

 

Oh my god, I thought this was a joke or a hoax, then I hit google news...wow....

We homebrewers, who use oxyclean by the ton need to lift a Pint of our creations to the guy!!!

 

Not a good week to be famous, it seems. RIP.

 

They think it might be because the plane he was in yesterday blew a tire and because of the impact and jostling something fell on his head. He said he was OK and just went on with his life but that may have been what killed him.

 

Yep, looks like a bonk on the noggin did him in: Cops: TV pitchman Billy Mays found dead - Life- msnbc.com

 

Oxyclean of course, it's awesome.

 

Yeah seriously, frankly I think Jackson "died" years ago when the whole child molestation case came about and he turned into a crazy hermit.

 

Now that is tragic, bummer.

 

He Spoke In Caps Lock, He Will Be Missed. Buy Oxi-clean In His Memory And Brew!

 

Poured a little Oxyclean out for my homie...

 

I learned very early that advertising budget and product quality are inversely related. Any product that needs to be pitched by someone like Mays, is off my list.

 

Me too. I hated his commercials, but I've watched a couple of those Pitchmen shows and he comes across as a nice guy in my book. I can't say I would have cared much if it was that British guy who died, but I was warming to Billy.

 

I thought deaths were supposed to come in 3s. So I figured Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson. But now you've got Billy Mays too. So is this breaking the rule or the start of another cycle???

 

Include David Carradine and we just need one more to make a two'fer. I'm thinking os starting a dead pool. :cross:

 

Don't you mean a threefer?

 

No, I meant two sets of three. we have five now.........BTW, McCain is looking particularly pale lately.
