I always hated Billy Mays, but now that he's dead he doesn't seem quite as pompous or annoying :/
What will happen to pitchmen? :/

That is a crapload of coincidence.
Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and Billy Mays in what....5 days?
Thank God I'm not famous or I'd be scared out of my mind right now. Events like that really make you wonder...

Too soon?

But wait! There's more.
Mays' death leaves the hooker-punching, dirty-film-making, crack-head as the best pitchman on television. i cant take all the credit for this, i saw something like it on that nydailynews site.

Thousands of people die every single day. Their death only caught our attention because they are famous. There is nothing freaky about this.
Ad McMahon - Died of old age? Surprised? My three grandparents didn't even
live to that age.
Farrah Fawcett- At the last stage of her cancer? My aunt only lived for two
months when she was diagnosed with stomach cancer.
Michael Jackson - All those surgeries, bleaches, and pills. How much long can
his body endure?
Bilyl Mays - Beats me. Weight issues? Too much screaming?

Interesting note:
On Saturday Billy mays was on a US Airways that had a "rough landing", and during an interview said he had been hit on the head.
Lawsuit anyone?

Don't know the credibility of that account.
If he had been hit on the head, I say sue that ________ US Airways till they are broke. It is so UN-AMERICAN not sue that company. If somebody touches my shirt, and I have a headache the next day, you bet your ass that I am going to sue that person for causing mental distress. The eighteen generations of my ancestors will laugh their ass off if I don't. :)
Who is that asian chick in your siggy? Ive always wondered.
Her name is Crystal Liu. She was all the rage last year in China for her fabulous performance in two Chinese shows. Also, she's the one who played the role, Golden Sparrow, in the movie, Forbidden Kingdom.
Dam you lord... taking Billy SO EARLY! YOU WILL PAY!
How much? :)
Billy Mays was a much more important figure in my life than Micheal Jackson.
He will be missed more.

Menace, you do not know Billy Mays. Obviously I don't know him, but from the show Pitchmen he seems like he was a really interesting guy to talk to. I dreamed about pitching an idea to him one day. :(
Oh..you said you didn't know him.
Whatever.

"Tampa Bay's Fox television affiliate interviewed Mays afterward.
"All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping," MyFox Tampa Bay quoted him as saying. "It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head.""
I'd say the report is pretty credible.

The report made BEFORE Billy Mays died.

Billy Mays? Dead at 50? Ironically, he will be buried in a super sized "space bag" for only $19.95. Too soon?
If he's buried within the next 10 minutes, we'll send you another set at no charge. That's 2 body bags for the price of one!

I watched an episode today about a no soggyness cereal bowl and super windshield wipers. I'll miss this show.

He's a douchebag on pitchman.
I actually thought he was funny on that show. A salesman, obviously, but cooler than I would have expected from someone who always wore denim shirts on television.

He thinks he is hot shit on Pitchman.
He has his funny moments, but for the most part he's way too egotistical considering he's a glorified fair peddler.

But he was hot s***, as far as salesmen are concerned. That's why he was on the show.
And if by "glorified" you mean a rich celebrity on television, then yes. I guess he was. But you could say that anyone who achieves great success in a certain field is just a glorified version of someone who doesn't, so I don't really see the point.
Bono is just a glorified version of a crappy singer for a garage band that can't get a gig.
I am with you on this Hugh...You can't help but admire a person that gets rich and famous from selling cleaning supplies....Only in America!
