I think the Shamwow guy took him out..............

 

[pzaur]

...after the hookers beat the crap out of him!
("him" being the Shamwow guy who is infinitely more annoying than Billy Mays ever was. Billy's ESPN commercial is awesome! I'll post a link when I find it.)

"...and streaking!"

This one makes me sad...Billy was awesome...

But can you really put Billy in the same league as Ed, Farrah & Michael? No disrespect intended, but though he was a well know “pitchman”, I would not dub him a celeb.

I wouldn't really call Billy Mays famous. He was just a guy that did HELLA-ANNOYING commercials on TV.

No big loss.

Yes, the universe keeps on ticking Hey, it must be Timex then

I heard he was reading the newspaper and saw MJ and Farrah and Ed and yelled .......Wait theres more..........

The King of Selling junk is dead!

Not a good time to be the king of anything.

Well in honor of Billy Mays he tossed in an extra one for free.

 

[Biggiesized]

He was born near where I live. I have fond memories of him for that.

 

[SunnyOctopus]

I find it hard to believe that people care that this guy died.

 

[Geno]

Geez, I almost feel bad...I started a thread a couple of weeks ago about Billy vs Vince (Shamwow) Actually kinda liked the guy on that show "Pitchmen", but his commercials were sure annoying. Why all the yelling? Maybe Ron Popiel will be next, then Vince...
