OT: Billy Mays is no more

Lanse · Jun 29, 2009

He passed away the other day. He was in a rough plane landing and hit his head. He went home, and went to bed, and never woke up....

That's a shame out of all those Idiots selling junk on TV I liked Billy.

I'd take Billy over that kid selling Sham-Wow any day.

Oh Oxi- Darn

Heart failure. He just ate too many little greasy sliders.

Fawteen · Jun 29, 2009

And good riddance to him, sez I. I'd change the channel as soon as I heard his annoying voice screeching at me.

Too bad he didn't take that Scam-Wow jerkoff with him.

I gather you never saw the YouTube video about the ShamWow guy getting shot full of holes.

HIS YELLING DIDNT SELL ME, BUT I KNOW ALOT OF FOLKS LIKED HIM. REST IN PEACE.

I really liked what they did on that show Pitchmen, I know some find these $19.99 commercials and seemingly gimmick type products annoying, and sure maybe not all liked his "Schtick" the voice, but the show on discovery or whatever channel really shed some light, and seemed that some hard working, risk taking inventors were able to succeed because of these guys, if it were not for that show, I am not sure what opinion I would have had, regardless, he seemed like a decent sort. He apparently used and supported everything they sold or marketed, some of the products they profiled recently on the show appeared to have been legit, and they sure tried to test and exhibit these products thoroughly, I mean reputation is everything in that business. Too darned young, just goes to show how important it is to have a good doctor and keep tabs on things, this should not have happened, hope his family, co-workers and friends find comfort no matter what, he ain't no different than anyone else no matter what he does for a living.

Billy NY · Jun 29, 2009

me too Walt, not so much the products, I liked seeing the inventors succeed and the interaction between all to get it done, the filming, etc. Yeah, some of the products especially in the past, just to get your money, but sure seemed like there was some legit things in there, what do I know, just liked the show and it seems he's been cut short here, hate seeing that happen to anyone.

I bumped my head with a fence post driver a few years ago. The doctor said to have someone wake me every 2 hour to see if I was still thinking right. If not, get me to the hospital. The brain can bleed in the night, build up pressure and kill you.

Used to be, I couldn't stand his yelling...Every once in a while my wife starts her crap....I guess Billy Mays loud talking wasn't so bad after all..Think I'm gonna dye my beard and "stasch" in mourning for him tonight..........

They said he died from heart disease. Hal

No disrespect intended, but I'm surprised that he didn't die from a stroke with all his hollering. His blood pressure must have been through the roof.

I used to think he was terrible until I saw the Sham-Wow guy...he's a creepy dude. Billy used to crack me up with the hand gestures. He looked like a parody of a salesperson.
