While Michael Jackson was the King of Pop, Billy Mays was the King of Commercials.
OXI CLEAN!
Let's remember him as the guy who yelled loudly about products on your TV.

Wow, I just saw him on Conan last week. He seemed fine.
Let's remember him as the guy who yelled loudly about products on your TV.
I think that's how he'd like to be remembered.

Man, late night infomercials just won't be the same anymore. Is it terrible that I'm mourning Billy Mays more than Michael Jackson?
RIP Billy

This was a bad bad week to be celebrity.

I'm looking at his picture up thread, and I still have no idea who he is, or should I say, was.

Sure was.
The Annoying Celebrity Index went down 13 points.

Sorry to hear about Billy Mays, he was so young and full of Loud, Obnoxious life. I will miss him.
Though I'm not going to miss the volume on my TV quadrupling when the Late, Late, Late Show goes from a relatively quiet movie about (say) The Battle of Britain, to an obnoxiously loud commercial featuring the obnoxiously loud Billy Mays.

The news says he hit his head earlier in the day, when the plane he was in had a blowout during landing.

Rumor has it that he died almost broke.
So his funeral is being paid with 4 easy installments of $19.99 each, plus shipping and handling.
O.K., I know that the joke was in poor taste,
but somebody was thinking along those lines.
RIP - Billy Mays

Well, celebrities usually die in threes. Leave it to Billy Mays to give you a fourth one at no additional charge.
Just pay the shipping and handling.
RIP Billy Mays. Rest in peace my friend.
