Billy Mays was the 50 Year-Old television pitchman who rocketed to fame by appearing on commercials and infomercials
promoting household products such as OxiClean, Orange Glo and Kaboom! According to FOX news reports Sunday, Mays was found unresponsive by his wife inside his Tampa, Fla., home at approximately 7:45 a.m. on Sunday

R.I.P. Man... your commercials where always awesome

David Farradae and Ed Thomas too.

hehe all the B listers are dying...cept Micheal....maybe this is karmas way of eliminating the population. kill one star and hundreds might follow.....

that or someones discovered a death note O.o!

That or.....thousands of people die each day, just a handful of them happened to be famous this week.

let us have our conspiracy theories. por favor

It's like probability and logic had a baby and that baby was an incredible burn!

Where's the fun in that?


Exactly.

I couldn't believe it when I heard Billy Mays died He was such an awesome pitchman... I'm very curious to hear the cause of death; he was so young and full of energy!

Dying young is not as unusual as you may think. It's even more common now, with the kind of lifestyles we lead now in this country. Someone with whom I attended high school had a heart attack at twenty-one.

I always thought Mays was annoying as hell, but I certainly wouldn't have wished him dead.

Actually it is less common, what with modern medicine and such. We just hear so much more about dieing young because the media flips a shit when a thirty year old woman or a twenty three year old guy die of some disease old people normally fall victim to.

with all that said and done,
im voting the micahel jackson theory on being one of these two

hes not dead... (like elvis!)
or
Hes frozen (like disney.. and probly under disney too-PUN)

Anyone else notice the prevalance of the number 50 here?

MJ and Billy were both 50.

Gale Storm was popular in the 50's

One day shy of 50 days after Farrah was announced to be critically ill she dies.

Michael Jackson had just anounced a 50 stop tour.

Creepy coincidences, huh?

Coincidences are easy to find when a person wants to find them.

Definitely makes it easier for conspiracy theorists to have backing on everything.

"It's not a coincidence, it's just facts that happen to be available."

of so im communist so im crazy? thanks watch as i take a suitcase nuke to DC

Easy, SC, easy.

The main reason finding out Billy Mays had died weirded me out so much was because I'd just finished watching the latest ep of Pitchmen with my aunt and bro. Then an hour later, bro's on the comp and sees on gamefaqs that Fox announced Billy Mays' death.

We will miss you, Oxyclean Man.

No, you're crazy because you want to take suitcase nukes to DC as a gesture of thanks for thinking you're crazy because you're a commie... which isn't crazy, it's just foolish.

But seriously... it's crazy man, because I was more shocked to hear about Billy Mays' death than Jacko's... and Jacko unsettled me quite a bit because I grew up listening to his music. It doesn't matter what you think about him, you can't deny that he did a lot of people a lot of good during his time, and that he was an incredibly talented performer, and artist.

*EDIT*
As for my theory on the circumstances surrounding Mays' death... just give me a minute, and I'll explain my story of how I suspect foul play. Nobody can deny that his beard was over 9000 times better than Chuck Norris'; it was only a matter of time until Chuck's jealousy overcame his incredible self restraint. Every time he'd see him on TV, or on the bottle of Oxi-Clean, he would just seeth, until finally Billy got a deal for his own Reality TV show... Norris had finally reached the boiling point.

On the night of Billy Mays' so called "rough plane landing" what really happened was he was confronted by Chuck Norris himself at the airplane terminal. Initially Mays was confused by the confrontation as he had never before had any sort of disputes with Mr. Norris. Eventually diplomacy had broken down when Mays obviously refused to shave his beard, and an epic battle ensued. Initially, Mays blinded Norris with a handful of oxi-clean powder to the eyes, but soon realized that his opponent hadn't had the disposition of needing his vision in order to fight like he did, and was quickly overwhelmed.

Finally, just as all seemed lost, Norris threw a round-house kick which hit Mays square in the head, seemingly having little effect aside from throwing him off balance. In total shock and awe, Norris relented his attack at the disbelief that his round-house kick had not only failed to implode the head of his victim in this and every other living plane of existence, it was simply shrugged off. In this moment of respite, Mays activated his trap card; launching a devastating counter-offensive on Norris in which the mighty hero hit the ground with a loud "KABOOM!" Mays, being the generous person he is, spared Chuck's life, merely commenting, "It hit me on the head, but I've got a hard head" in response to his opponent's obvious bewilderment.

However, unbeknownst to both warriors, Billy Mays had suffered incredible trauma from the blow to his head. After arriving home, drinking his nightly glass of Orange-Glo, and making ravenous love to his wife with his George Zimmer like Pulsing Pelvic Paladin, he slipped into a deep sleep, never to awaken again.

R.I.P Sweet Prince.

If you ask me, I think he was assasinated by Vince, the Shamwow guy.

No... It can't be...



Goddamn Zac Efron...



*Grin*



Holy crap Grym. I haven't seen you in ages...



"They tell me it was s ience, but I suspect it had something to do with Jews..."



Advertising salesman are serious business.

Its all because he didn't get onto the Pitchmen show... It looks like he killed off Mays so that he could take his place and earn millions.

But on a different note, Mays started another celeb death trilogy meaning one thing: Two more celebs will die soon.

Karl Malden, RIP

So that's

Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson

Billy Mays, Karl Malden, ???? (Unless I've missed anybody)

10 bucks on Patrick Swayze.

Im betting you are right... but with the pattern right now with this trilogy, I'd say it would be someone who has worked on a few commercials of sorts. *shrugs*

heard the worst joke on the radio regarding this.

What will Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcet and Ed McMahon get for Christmas?

































Patrick Swayze.

Wow, we were all wrong. Next up in the trilogy is Steve McNair. Fatally shot with an unnamed woman that he was with in Nashville Tennessee.

(Pro Football Player)

Wrong. He started a third trilogy. The ex-manager for the Beatles and the current manager for the Rolling Stones died briefly before him so... I consider him the third commercial guy lol.

But yeah I heard about that guy from the Titans died at church today...

It's all a big celebrity plot for a lot of publicity. Okay, I know that was bad, rest in peace those that have passed and those that are sure to follow here soon.

OH SHI-

It looks like 2 more sport starts will die soon most likelyl.

I think i just saw him on tv last night supporting a new product

hmm wonder if ppl will buy it knowin hes dead...

No, they'll just think that he's so into his work that his ghost is still promoting Oxiclean along with other items

i've heard worse:

Farrah Fawcet went to heaven and met saint peter at the pearly gaits. st. peter said that before she went into heaven, she could give one wish to the people of earth. she thought it over for a moment before deciding 'I wish all the worlds children were safe'.














a few hours later, Michael Jackson died.

Lmao... I know this sounds kinda bad but... its funny to me...

Not to spoil the fun but... People die... all the time... It's nothin' new...

/gasp

Another one bites the dust.

Arturo Gatti, Boxer. Dead at 37

Just one more to go...

And... the trilogy is complete with Walter Cronkite.

Mays' death is obviously old news by this point, but I thought I'd share this with you all: According to his Wikipedia page (which sources to this), Billy was buried wearing a shirt with the OxyClean logo on it. I found that absolutely hilarious.

he problably had a good sense of humor about it
or thought that alot of ppl know him by that product
maybe as far as saying, Hey the oxy clean guy is dead, and the product sells ppl die with him?

-Ps. He was burried with a shirt that said it, but probably had a suit over him... /shrug
