Billy Mays Is Dead!

NOOOOO!!!! What in the fuck is going on?! It has been confirmed that infomercial superstar Billy Mays has been taken away from us at the young age of 50. Billy was found by his wife at their home in Tampa, FL at around 7:45 this morning. No cause of death is known at this time, but an autopsy on Billy's body is scheduled for tomorrow. Foul play is not suspected. Billy was supposed to have his third hip replacement surgery tomorrow. Billy's wife issued this statement:

"Although Billy lived a public life, we don't anticipate making any public statements over the next couple of days. Our family asks that you respect our privacy during these difficult times."

Billy had just returned to Tampa from Philadelphia where he was filming an infomercial for OxiClean. Billy's plane had a little issues during landing. Billy Twittered yesterday: "Just had a close call landing in Tampa. The tires blew out upon landing. Stuck in the plane on the runway. You can always count on US Air."

As much as Billy's sawdust voice made my ears chaffey, I will still miss it and him! Nobody could yell at us while selling a household cleaning product quite like him. Let's all wish Billy a safe journey to the giant infomercial in the sky.... May he rest in peace.....

Hi freebird!! *hug*
Mays never did the Shamwow commercials, did he? I thought it was that meth-head that was recently arrested.
**************
Yeah, that's right. Arrested for getting in a lip-bite-off with a hooker. They look like they were made for each other.

THIS IS NOT OK!

I was going to make out with him before I died! I was going to let him yell at me and he goes and DIES?

I'm actually almost more sad about this than I am about MJ. I love Billy Mays.

Hmm, have they asked that guy that had that show on the Discovery Channel with him? Those 2 were always threatening each other...but in all seriousness, WOW. I guess he's #3 then, or was Ed McMahon included in the 3 celebrity death(s)?

As I mentioned in the Pabst post...wonder if they'll bury him with Oxyclean, Orange Glo and whatever else he was peddling.

We buried my dad with a bottle of his fav Scotch and a Wall Street Journal.

It's a bad month for celebs.

Have Fair Winds & Following Seas Mr. Mays.

"In April, he launched a new reality series, "Pitchmen," on the Discovery Channel to show viewers new gadgets such as the Impact Gel shoe insert; the Tool Band-it, a magnetized armband that holds tools while you work; and the Soft Buns portable seat cushion."

KABOOM!!! Wasn't the Soft Buns an episode of Seinfeld?

He was probably killed by some fool who actually believed you could taken an industrial sander to your hardwood floor and use some product to make it like new.
