'Infomercial King' Billy Mays Dies

As for the next celebrity to go, I am gonna put money on Patrick Swayze. He is nearing the end.

And Cloris Leachman can't be too far behind. She is getting up there in age.

 

Last one

 

I am not happy that he died, but his commercials were like nails on a chalkboard to me.

 

No.

 

http://twitter.com/realBillyMays Looks like he was going in for a hip replacement monday

 

I probably genuinely feel the worse for his passing among all of the others that have passed recently. He just seemed like a honest hard working family man that loved life.

 

same here with me. I feel bad for his wife and kids... Its said to think, if they plane never had a rough landing he may still be with us... its weird to watch him on Conan one night and a few days later he is dead,

 

I guess maybe because he's local it touches me a bit more than it might have.

He really was a nice guy by all accounts. And he had a sense of humor about it all.

 

R.I.P. Billy Mays, even though he was very annoying.

This is truly "The Death Week"

 

There is a Michael Jackson one also.

Where he says sounds like his heart.... Couldn't beat it.

 

LOL yeah I posted that one in the MJ thread.

 

CNN is reporting that the death appears to be caused by heart disease, not by a potential concussion from the hard airplane landing the night before.

apperently it had nothing to do with the hit he took to the head, rather his heart failed...

 

the police may want to look into the whereabouts of the shamwow guy. the shammy has been on a slapchop spree as of late and may have decided to remove his main competition after the last arrest slapchopped his ratings and stock. and what can shammy expect to pay for his crimes? 30 years in jail? 20 yrs? 10 yrs is all he'll get but wait! the fun doesn't stop there..if he admitts to it now then we throw in this bright orange jumpsuit,a lifetime supply of moist towelettes and this econo sized bottle of boudreaux's buttpaste. act now while supply's last

in all seriousness r.i.p billy,you were the best

 

Apparently he'd just signed a huge deal with Taco Bell to be their spokesman, doing lots of "Billy Mays" commercials for them. Parody-esque. Local radio guy here who is friends with him said Billy told him that Saturday night.

Autopsy: Cocaine contributed to Billy Mays' death

how do you sleep on cocaine

 

In my partying days I knew people who could with no problem. And if your not one of those people 12 beers and six shots of JD could do the trick.

 

If I had read the dang article first I would have know that it was the previous week he had done it.. he was on the post party crash

 

:dead:

 

so much for resting in peace.
