    Crazy week, overzealous salesman Billy Mays was found dead in his home.

    http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/28/billy-mays-is-dead/

    Sucks, no more "why is that guy yelling at me" sales pitches for stuff like OxiClean, Kaboom!, and Orange Glo. :(

    Ironic that he also died...at 50.

    OK i hope this isn't real cause

    the other day at work I heard his commercial and said to my boss "Now if only Billy Mays would die so we don't have to listen to his stupid commercials anymore"

    I think ... I am .. gonna go .. hide from society guys.

    Real quick, before you go, could you say outloud at work "Now if only the members of Green Day, Perez Hilton, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity would die so we wouldn't have to listen to their stupid crap anymore."

    Can we get Al Franken and Norm Coleman on that list? I'd love to see a do-over with a couple of decent candidates.

    Personally I think Billy Mays was hilarious to watch! Somehow when his infomercials came on, the volume on the TV went up like 50%. Not sure how he did that. ;)

    You guys should check out some of the remixes people made of his infomercials on YouTube. They are very humorous.

    I smell conspiracy, and I bet the shamwow guy is involved, either that or he choked on some mighty putty.

    RIP bearded one.

    Why is it everyone I've talked to about this seems to think it was Vince from Shamwow?

    Just mention a beat up hooker. They'll get it straight in no time.

    On a side note, her earlier mugshot wasn't half bad at all...

    I am also in the same boat. Billy Mays was funny. MJ was just creepy, though mj could dance like no other.
