TV pitchman Billy Mays found dead at Florida home

How is it?

I'll admit that I never do laundry without oxyclean. It's that good.

'Mighty-mend it' seems like a good idea because it's rubbery instead of brittle. It seems really strong when it dries. But it doesn't hold up in the wash. :(

I've never tried that oxyclean -- but I will.
 
how ironic that the pitch man for Oxyclean dies of an Oxycontin overdose

that is what bubba is speculating as a result of Billy Mays' failed hip replacements, he allegedly ate them like tic tacs
 
Celebrities normally die in 3s, but Billy Mays threw his in for free. God took care of the free shipping and handling.

His last words were "But wait, there's more!"

Billy May's was a celeberity:confused:

I thought he was a salesman more than anything else.

He was a quasi-celebrity. He was famous for making me hit mute whenever his commercials came on.
 
O my God I loved that show, it was really good.

I loved the one with that shock absorbing rubber thing. And Mays had to have his hand run over by a car. lol. and thats the one where he moons Sullivan right?
 
Update for anyone interested:

It appears Billy Mays died from heart disease rather than a head injury caused during a rough aircraft landing just before he died.

But this is just heartbreaking....and creepy. I feel terrible for his wife. :(
 
All kidding aside, many people in the Tampa area relly thought well of Billy. The claims are that he was a very good neighbor that was always willing to lend a hand, a good family man and a friend to many. Other than his obnoxious voice on the tube, he was a well rounded individual. He'll be missed by many.

I watched him on the Discovery TV show and he seemed like a normal person that I would like to hang with. He was doing a job and was very good at it.

Just think, a person that got as far as he did with no allegations of drug use. Kind of unusual in these times.

I don't care if he smoked pot, or drank alcohol, or drank coffee. He was very good at his gig and realized what it was in a humble way from what I can tell.

His enthusiasm reminded me of the late Steve Irwin, only Billy was much louder :shock:. Each loved and believed in their work. May we all be so fortunate :cheers:
 
I would not do laundry without oxyclean. Rev, you will soon find out when your wee one starts dribbling blueberries. You will need the stuff.
 
One could tell that the smile on the mans face was not fake. And to do that on queue is amazing. Not many people can smile fore reals and show joy and actually mean it at any time they please.

I never bought a single item he endorsed. FAIL.
 
This story has not gotten any air time. I think they should show some Iran news also. All you see is a whole lot of MJ. I was flipping through the channels and I saw both his reality show and some of his infomercials. I was surprised that none of them gave him any remembrance or a few touching words, or something....
 
His death fell between the cracks, so to speak.

I was watching the reality show and they showed his birth to death date the whole episode in the bottom corner. Not sure if there was a respect montage in it though.

Thank you for telling me, it is nice to know they gave him some recognition. I think all of the companies he has advertised for should pay for his funeral and stuff, they would not have sold anything if it was not for him.
