TAMPA, Fla. — Billy Mays, the burly, bearded television pitchman whose boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean made him a pop-culture icon, has died. He was 50.

Tampa police said Mays was found unresponsive by his wife Sunday morning. A fire rescue crew pronounced him dead at 7:45 a.m.

So is reaching the age of 50 a dangerous thing lately ? Well my Mom always said that they go in threes: McMahon The Charles Angle Girl Farrah Fawcett, and Billy Mays

PS Yes I can count I am just ignoring you know who since in my humble opinion he isn't worth counting for anything !!

Loudy guy R.I.P.
 
I guess Mighty Putty can't fix everything.
 
Billy Mayes and MJ gone and I turn 50 next year. I guess id better give up smoking, drinking, and crack if I wanna see 51.
 
What I think is hilarious is that CNN considers this front page news.

WIth that said:

I hope Billy's voice can never be duplicated. He made me wear out my mute button.

I duno, quiting smoking and drinking is not all that it is cracked up to be.
 
Billy May's here for the new revoluationary Casket Caddy!



Probably the best known pitchman of the past decade. RIP. 50's looking unlucky right now
 
How about that new product he was to introduce this coming SEPT, the
TightAzz Foam Casket GASKET Seal. It was supposed to seal up a casket and keep water, bugs, and worms out for 10, 000 years ! It was reinforced with activated nano silicon Siliclon 1010 with Stickit 527 glue. Hope that Billy at least gets to take some of the proto tubes of that great stuff with me just in case it leaks.

You guys are mean man! Billy was annoying, but I think the ShamWow guy is just as bad. I will pour some out for my dead homie Billy, and if he is a ghost it will be a loud one!

UH, I have to respectfully disagree with you about that ShamWow guy. ShamWow guy is like caricature of a pitch man. Like if he wasn't evein a real person like cyber goof with that stupid telephone mic on. I cannot even take watching that puke even with mute on. I switch channels until he is gone.
 
Hate to hear the dude died. That's a shame.

In time, maybe they will even take his commercials off the air.

I try to find the brighter side of things.
