Yep, that is right, another one dropped dead. This time it was master pitchman and potential sociopath Billy Mays (the OxiClean guy). They don't know exactly how he died, but he was found dead earlier today. There is speculation that it could be tied to a head injury he received recently from stuff falling on his head during a landing in which the plane blew it's front tires, causing a heck of a lot of bumps.

Sadly, my first thought on hearing this... other than "wtf is with all the celebrity deaths?" was wondering if this means that the ShamWOW guy is going to replace him on his show Pitchmen.

yeah, I just heard about this too.... I think celebrities need to start being a little more careful or they're all going to start dropping like flies... and then who will we talk about?

It's weird when someone you saw on television yesterday dies today. I don't want to sound mean, but I'd rather the ShamWOW guy died instead. He's really annoying.

Yeah... the ShamWOW guy just looks creepy. I mean, Billy Mays constantly looked like he was about to have a stroke because of how tense he was, but the ShamWOW guy just looks... I dunno.... I can't quite figure out what word describes his freakishness best.

Wow... ummm... I have no idea who this guy is.
I looked him up and still he's a nobody to me.
Should we really be calling telemarketers celebrities now??
This is getting rediculous.

So Billy Mays was reading the newspaper and saw a headline that read "Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson all dead," and said, "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!"

So dark, so cruel but soooo funny.

Shame on the loss of might putty, oxiclean, zorbees and super city slider!

I was watching Pitchmen earlier, and they showed "Billy Mays: 1958-2009" and I was like "Oh my god! Not Billy"

He wasn't just a Telemarketer. He was THE Telemarketer.


RIP Billy.

I have several things to say, not necessarily directly related.

I can't believe that he's really gone. He's one of those people that just seemed absolutely immortal.

The ShamWow guy sucks. A lot.

Billy Mays was not a telemarketer, he was an infomercial salesman. And he was the best. He didn't sell Oxyclean, he sold OXYCLEAN! He didn't sell Mighty Putty, he sold MIGHTY PUTTY! And he will be missed immeasurabley.

And one more thing. Did anyone else notice that when they first aired the new Oxyclean commercials with that stupid lady they still had Billy's hands in some of the shots? Seriously, the lady was wearing a purple shirt, and in some of the shots showing just the hands, they had blue sleeves and they were hairy. Those were his hands, not hers!

Wow, this came up again? Yeah, it's really old news. So many people died in 2009, and also in early 2010. It's all just leading up to 2012, where all the celebrities will die!

I have mixed reactions to your assumption of all celebrities dieing in 2012:
For some, it's: NOOOOO! WHYYYYY?!
For quite a few others, I don't want to sound mean, but reaction would be closer to: HA-LLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! HALLEEEEE-LUJAH! (there are some celebrities that I really can't stand).
But alexanyways, how did you not know about this?!
RIP, Billy Mays.
Although he was and is still fun to spoof... check my thread in Web Splurge for a link to my webshow with my friends' OxiChair commercial!

Hm, well this thread is older, but I never knew this. I don't really know much about him.

I just realized how sad it will be when Tom Dickson, the will it blend guy, dies.
