Re: Billy Mays is dead
I loved watching that dude on late night commercials because of how goofy he was. This is getting nuts with all these deaths, man. I know people die everyday, but celebs like this?

Re: Billy Mays is dead
I just told my family, and my mom almost lost her s**t! LOL!
But this is crazy with all these deaths just in the past week. Mays was only 50, as well. It's one thing when someone dies of old age (or they just happen to be fairly old and it's some other disease that kills them), but this is getting ridiculous. And lord knows the last few deaths in my family I've had to deal with in the past four years, the people in question were way too young (38, 60 and 48). Just terrible. |

Re: Billy Mays is dead
Huh? What the heck? He looks so young too. This is totally unexpected. I saw him in some new ESPN commercials during the NBA playoff too.

Re: Billy Mays is dead
What the hell? I saw someone mention this in another thread and thought it was some sort of weird joke.
Mays seemed like a fun guy ...maybe from a distance, but still. I always got a kick out of his infomercials and antics. Sad news.

Very sad news. I hope they still run his commercials. They were the only commercials I wouldn't fast forward through

Re: Billy Mays is dead
RIP Billy Mays
I loved that he could make fun of himself like when he went on Leno to do that Shakespeare/infomercial skit
