Billy Mays seems like a man with a great sense of humor, a good family, and he had a job where he was good at what he did.  As much as we liked to make fun of him, isn't this the model of the American Dream?  He started out pitching things on the Atlantic Boardwalk, then working Carnivals, to being a TV Infomercial celebrity with his own show, well off with plenty of money.  He stayed relatively level headed through the whole thing too.  He could joke about himself, he knew what he was doing was ridiculous, but it worked, he was good at it, and lived a great life.  Billy Mays went before his time, but everyone has their time, and his was now.  Here's to a hard working American who lived the dream we all dream of! Billy Mays...

Interesting fact, Vince Offer starred in the box office bust The Underground Comedy.

" I wouldn't really count this as a lost, the guy sold nonsense on television, I suppose he was good for a laugh or two but the world is a better place without him, this is like losing Nancy Grace or someone like this.

RIP Michael Jackson. Good Riddance Billy Mays and Fawcett.

I don't like you.

@Black_Rose: Me to.  Seems like every time TMZ reports something news worthy, it's a celebrity that has died.

What the hell is going on here!!!  Stars are just dropping like flies.  Maybe the Myans were right.  We all better watch out for 2012.  This is a sad day indeed.  RIP, Pitchman :(

He shouted his way into our hearts and souls.

He will now (not) introduce himself as follows:  Billy Mays not here!

His tribute videos can be seen on QVC and HSN.

R.I.P. Billy Mays.

He (probably) died from head trama induced when he got smacked on the cap with luggage during a rough landing from a flight yesterday. "
Here's a strange coincidence.  My cousin was on that plane yesterday during the landing and saw Billy Mays.  I don't think she's gonna forget that flight... it was her first plane ride, she saw one of the best pitchmen ever, gets the scare of her life, and gets interviewed by the local news.

So there's my weird connection with Billy Mays.

I'm bummed now.  I need a hug.

Obligatory "your cousin is kinda attractive."

Moving on though, that's crazy. First ride, witnessing what might be the fatal injury of Billy Mays, and going down hard and popping a tire? Then getting on the news? Both of you probably need a hug.

Wow, that is one hell of a story, Dalai.  Yeah, that day would be a very hard one to forget.  Glad she is safe!
