With David Carradine, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and now Billy Mays all iced in the space of a few weeks, for the three theory to work, someone else has to end up on the slab.

What the bloody fuck is this? I can't accept this. If it's true I will actually be more affected than I was by Michael Jackson. Noooo Billy Maaaaays!

(Gotta be a scam like it was last year)

I'm completely flabbergasted by what's going on this week. It's, for lack of a better term, crazy.

No it's real. Look: http://www.seattlepi.com/national/1110ap_us_obit_billy_mays.html
When more than one news source confirms it, it's bad.

fox news has the story up, not that I trust fox news...

also Billy Mays was/is awesome, if you ever seen his show Pitchmen on Discovery, hes a pretty cool interesting guy. So Billy if you are really dead, you will be missed

I think this is the only proper way to remember Billy Mays.

This. Good lord, it's gonna be hard getting used to a world without Billy Mays.

I'm going to turn the TV on next week, and I'm going to hear "HI IT'S VINCE WITH KABOOM" or something.
And then I'm going to cry.

Yea I just heard about that;

TAMPA, Fla. – Tampa police say Billy Mays, the television pitchman known for his boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean, has died. He was 50.

Authorities say Mays was pronounced dead Sunday morning after being found by his wife at home. There were no signs of a break-in, and investigators do not suspect foul play. The coroner's office expects to have an autopsy done by Monday afternoon.

Mays' wife, Deborah Mays, says the family doesn't expect to make any public statements and asked for privacy.

@Cloneslayer: Not at all. People like us, we grew up with Billy, man. It's sad. We're all sad, no matter how much we hated his commercials. You know, not that I hated them, but a lot of people did.

At least we know that he's making Big City Sliders in the hereafter. And cleaning up the inevitable mess with Kaboom and Zorbeez.

The afterlife is suddenly a lot more awesome.

That was Vince.
Have you no respect for the dead?

entertainment weekly also picked this up. Im still in denial, hoping this to be fake. I think I'm going to go cry right now.

Edit: Discovery Channel also did a statement, there are airing a new episode of his show tonight in his honor.
