I am depressed by this. Kaboom! and the promoter is gone.

Haha I just posted something similar the the pointless thread, with a better article.
Hey guys, you remember Billy Mays? He's dead (http://www.kansascity.com/637/story/1293746.html?storylink=omni_popular)
-
This has been the worst week. Michael Jackson and Billy Mays in one week.
-
I dunno, it was pretty rough when Ernest Walton, Emil Cioran (he was entertaining, at least) and Jonas Salk all died in a three day span, although they did at least live much longer lives. Come to think of it, it's kinda funny that Cioran lived to be 84; the dude basically made a career of taking pessimism to its logical extreme.

And now, in this special offer, two American icons dead this month when you try *new* Ultra Nuclear Strength OxiClean!
Shitty, absolutely shitty week for American culture.

I hope he took his own advice and purchased iCAN HEALTH INSURANCE

Boohooo :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Man, now I'm suspicious.
I mean, let's look at the facts: first the Shamwow guy was spontaneously attacked by a prostitute who sliced, diced, even julienned his tongue. He's arrested and in just seconds, his career is gone!
But wait, there's more!
Because then Billy Mays dies at the age of not 70, not 60, but 50 years old with no signs of why he might've died!
What are the odds you'd expect this to happen to the two major current TV salesmen?
25%?
1%?
.000005%?!
I think there's only one man capable of this, AS SEEN ON TV:

All the good people are going!
It's a sign! The rapture is coming! Repent!

Fifty is the new twenty-seven.

Don't worry, Ron Popiel is still alive and ready to sell you knives that never get dull and rotisserie ovens!

Don't you mean 49.95 years old? (Nobody on infomercials uses whole numbers.)
According to the Washington Post, he was supposedly on a plane yesterday afternoon, and there was a rough landing and some luggage fell out of the overhead bin and landed on his head. If this is true, it could have been a subdural hematoma. (Basically the same thing that did Natasha Richardson in back in March.)

I am looking at Bono with the utmost hope in my eyes.

Three easy payments of 24.95. And if you call in the next ten minutes, they will knock off one of the payments.
Apparently someone knocked off the last payment of Billy Mays' life expectancy.

öFuck your michael jacksons Billy mays was a true hero!

A salesman died in Florida on Sunday. First it was a tv legend. Then an old sex-icon, followed by a fading, crazed pop-star. And now -a cleaning-product salesmen with a loud voice. Someone's picking off television icons.
Somebody knows why.
Down there...
Somebody knows.

Wow man. This is worse than when Issac Hays and Bernie Mac both died in one weekend.
=[
-
Don't forget about Farrah Fawcett dying this week as well.
-
Guys, honestly, he was gone too soon and even though I know it's human nature, please keep the joking about it to a minimum because it's really, really bad.

Really, really bad!

Already been done, I'm afraid.

I would like to note that I did buy OxiClean in a laundromat because of Billy May's pitch. I had heard it like two months earlier on late night TV. It just stuck with me.
He was a good pitchman.
-
It helps that the shit actually works. Speaks a lot about him personally to not be like one of those dickbags who endorses a product and it doesn't even fuckin' work as advertised.
-
I'm piping in that I fucking love oxyclean. I actually have a big box of it that sits in the laundry room and goes in every goddamned load.
-

For his sake, I hope he didn't.

There is this pretty awesome thing that Billy Mays advertised and apparently supported with a lot of conviction called the Dual Saw. My dad wants one, and I kind of think I do too.
-
Oh yell hes. I don't even have use for one, and I want it.

Dual saw seems awesome thing. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr7SkiBJI3w)
-
Counter-rotating dual tungsten saw blades!!??
Wow. That looks like a pretty sweet little thing. I dunno how much power something like that would have but damn it would be nice to be able to cut through any material with the same tool. I am sick of using a hacksaw on plastic tubing.
-
And I'm sick of cutting through cars with my kitchen knives.
-
If only we'd had one of them back in 'Nam, we'd have beat Charlie back in 5 days' time.
-
The show Pitchmen made me trust in informercials (At least ones he or Sully are in) a lot more than I ever would have otherwise. The fact that they spent such a long time testing the products to guarantee they work before recommending them to anyone.

The last payment must be made in wampum.

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! The Tennessee Titans QB was murdered.
-
BUT CALL, RIGHT NOW, and we'll throw in a random woman with your dead quarterback!
(Pay with your credit card to receive ESPN insight such as "He hated throwing interceptions" and "He was a black quarterback from a black school")
