Another one bites the dust

Sorry, this is a non-working link:  TV pitchman Billy Mays dies  But I did see this as I was signing on to Yahoo this afternoon.

her you go.

This month has been crazy for celebrity deaths. It's quite sad.

I will never be able to look at a bottle of Oxyclean without shedding a tear again....Heh. :P

RIP Billy and my best wishes to his loved ones. He was actually really good at his job and made you take notice as much as you may hate infomercials. Ha Ha. He made them somewhat enjoyable which is hard to do.

:(

WTF!

People are dying so young...

So wrong. =(

RIP Billy

I saw this on Perez Hilton!

Poor thing...

I saw some Mighty Mend It at the store today and I started busting on Billy Mays. I feel really irreverent now.

What's up with all the celebrity deaths lately?

Whaat? My whole house is Billy Mayes obsessed. Especially since we've been watching Pitchmen. This is sad.

why was billy mays always yelling at me?

noooooooo! i love billy mays! Been watching Pitchmen a lot too...its a great show :<

I had a horrible, inhuman reaction when I saw this news today.  Both hands shot in the air and I yelled "WOOO-HOOO!" 

I hate those freaking commercials.

Don't worry.  I felt sufficiently guilty after my outburst.

KABOOM!

I'm sorry. Good man. :(

Wow...wasn't he like in his late 40's or early 50's? What did he die of?

He was 50. Earlier that day he was on a plane that blew out both front tires when it landed, and he hit his head. He complained about not feeling well before he went to bed. His wife found him un-responsive. They don't know the cause of death yet.

Wasn't really sure if I should actually except it as "fact" reading it on MSNBC, but I found the story elsewhere, so it must be true.

That said, I'm sure the guy was a very decent, ethical and honest man, but he annoyed me to no end.  Maybe it's too soon, as it may offend some people and I apologize, but if the guy could just speak rather than yell, I would have actually listened to him a little more.  Seriously, if the guy had a "tone it down" button his voice would have carried a lot more weight with me.

He actually had some very good products in the "infomercial" world and his enthusiasm will be missed.  RIP Billy.

 After watching Pitch men, I really did like him.  I just hated his high pitched half-yell that he did as soon as the cameras were on him.  That man had some fun products though.
