My step dad was friends with him and got a text this morning from his agent saying he was dead... that cast a pall over our vacation. I never met him, but I heard he was a good guy. Either way, my step dad will miss him.

He isn't from the US either, I doubt you'd know any celebrities from NZ either 😛 It's not like Billy Mays was even a celebrity, either.

Regardless, you can be of any nationality to understand that chiropractic is in fact, bullshit.

How many people under the age of 40 actually get that reference in the Cable Guy?
(It is a reference to one of my favorite movies, BTW.)

Under 40? I'm 25 and I remember that film being in theaters.

also,

"BILLY MAYS HERE FOR THE FANTASTIC FUNERAL!"

I thought the same thing at first. I actually saw it in theaters, but he said the reference in The cable Guy.

I think there's something in oxyclean that's been slowly seeping it's way into his blood stream. He's been using it for so long he was the first to go. More deaths will follow.

THEN, SINCE HE'S ALREADY DEAD, (AS IN NOT CURRENTLY DIEING) IT'S OK, RIGHT?

The guy's just a pitchman...not a celebrity, not a hero, didn't actually invent anything except himself, and not famous for anything but his big mouth...he gets no special respect...after all, we certainly haven't shown any for anyone else who's died recently...😛

I wonder if Oxy-Clean is marketing their product to the airline to clean up blood spatters from the interior? 😀

You are a nobody who is famous for absolutely nothing? You will eventually die too, but nobody will notice or care, and your existence or lack thereof will make no difference whatsoever...so what's your point? 😀

On the other hand, Billy Mays helped a lot of average people with marketable ideas find success. Not many people can claim that...but like or hate his commercials, most of them resulted in huge sales. He was very good at what he did.

Bronson Pinchot is on that list.

Noooooooooooo!!!

EDIT: So is Fabio and Flavor Fav.

Prediction: Flavor Flav becomes the next George Burns, defying all logic and human understanding.

Falvor Flav is only 50? Christ... he looks older than The Rolling Stones

You know Sammy Hagar is like 60 something...he looks like he fared much better.

He did everything to make a buck himself. I don't see any commendation in that. Though it is sad when anyone dies.
