A lot of deaths in the last week or so: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and Billy Mays. Of course, Mays wasn't on the level of the first three but he was still a TV personality.

When I first read this, I thought this was someone falling for the fake rumors about other celebrities deaths that idiots on the internet like to spread after genuine celebrity deaths as a sick joke. (Jeff Goldblum is a favorite.)

Wow. As Seen on TV will never be the same.

Mine came from our local fishwrap known as The St Petersburg Times.

A tragedy.

Is it just me or did his beard look painted on? He must have spent an hour every morning trimming that thing.

I'll miss him. I'm the only one in my family who liked him and his yelling

I think someone should make his coffin out of Miracle Putty.

It's Mighty Putty

 

[Fnord5]

Lol, I never get that right.

Funny thing is, before watching Pitchmen he got on my nerves. It was only after seeing that show that I realized what a nice guy Billy Mays seemed to be. I feel for his family, especially his little girl, she seemed to be crazy about her dad and I can't blame her. Rest in peace Billy.

 

[mretzloff]

Lol, I never get that right.

Honestly, I think Oxy Clean was the only good thing he ever marketed for. His latest ESPN 360 commercials were awful.

Should we start a deadpool for the next one?

I guess that means that we have one more to go. I really hate this stuff.
