RIP: TV pitchman Billy Mays
 

The guy who sells Kaboom cleaner and other products was found dead at his home in Tampa this morning. More here.

That guy died? That took me by surprise. Even though I never cared for the products he was pitching, R.I.P.

Geez, death after death after death. Who's next? ::)

R.I.P. Billy Mays.

Why are all the cool celebrities dying? He was one of the few good things on TV anymore.

RIP, man. You'll be missed.

Yeah, I heard about this at work today and I thought my co-workers were just joking or something. Celebrities just keep on dying and it's scary. R.I.P. Billy Mays.:(

At first I didn't believe a word of it since, after MJ's death, there were all sorts of rumors flying through the interwebs that a number of celebrities had died as if there's a major conspiracy going on.

Don't know his name, but I know his face. And his ads. OxyClean never seemed to do what it promised, but the ShamWow is pretty cool and so is OrangeGlo. :P It's still sad to lose yet another one in such a short time. RIP Mr. Mayes.

ShamWow was advertised by a different guy. I think his name was Vince.

OxyClean was why the mute button was invented. :P

And there goes another TV icon
 

^ 8D My dad got some of that stuff once. It actually worked. Yeah, it's a shame he died. Did they find out how he died?

It's not known at present. He apparently got his head whacked during a rough landing on a flight the other day, that might possibly have something to do with it.
