Well, this is indeed a dark month! Billy Mays was found dead.

Anyone have a favourite commercial with him? Mine would have to be mighty putty.
I mean, it can pull a tractor trailer! That's the power of mighty putty.


RIP Billy, your commercials and thumbs-up will be fondly remembered.

Sorry, Tea.

I'm more upset that Billy is dead more than anyone else who has died recently.

Done...before...
I'm starting to really see why Internet Kraken has a big thing about the search bar...
<color=white>Sorry 'bout being a dick...again

 

[HardRockSamurai]

Yeah, we all know.

I'm sorry, but who the hell is Billy Mays?

My question exactly.

My question exactly.

He does all of those infomercials and have a Discovery Channel show.
Youtube him, you will probably recognize him.

Regarding the number of threads made about his death, Billy Mays is now the new Michael Jackson. Where's the love for Farah?

(Kidding, I actually don't give a damn about her or the other two.)

Call me when Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, Al Pacino or Robert DeNiro die.

Say Mike, how do you get your text larger? I've tried using HTML but getting nothing.

Aww. I just heard on the news.
And here I thought I was breaking the story to the Escapist.
Well, FINE then.

 

[Crowghast]

No.

It [i\]can't[/i] be. That guy was the patron saint of demonstration advertisers. He had that booming, hearty voice and a hands-on, DIY approach to life. He's one of the only people in the world who could convince me to buy something I didn't need.

And now he's dead.

I can't believe my heart is heavier more for Billy's death than the guy who did Thriller's death. Or anyone else in the past for that matter.

Why the fuck has he been soooo popular over the last few months?! HES AN ADVERTISER!!! HE MAKES ADS FOR FUCKS SAKE!!! WHO THE FUCK LIKES ADS?!

I'm sorry, but who the hell is Billy Mays?

Nobody in particular. Just the greatest salesman ever. This man could sell wood to a lumberjack. He could sell sand to the Saudi king. He could sell beef to a PETA member. You see what I'm getting at here?

For a header like that it's [ h1 ] blah blah blah [ /h1 ]. Unsure about other sizes.

He made ads that people actually wanted to watch.

AWESOME
Thank you, kind sir.

This is the doing of Vince the pretender to Mays throne, we must avenge Mays!

 

[midpipps]

I think it was the ShamWow guy wanting all the advertising glory to himself I am not going to believe this hit head thing.

 

[Symplify]

Do we know what it was that killed him yet?
