I'm thinking that there is probably a serial killer going around who kills celebrities that are 50. First Michael Jackson and now Billy Mays. When is it going to end?

Not a problem at all..but dont feel guilty about it. I merely saw as an honest criticism and i read it, saw my mistake and will keep that in mind the next i make an announcement like this because i unlike most thread posters and people can take a criticism and use to improve myself for the future
