I really, really, really liked this guy! I thought it was cool that he was on Leno when Prince was doing his 3 night gig. The stars are dropping out of the sky this week! Rest Peacefully Billy Mays. rose

I liked watching his tv show Pitchmen on Discovery on Wednesday nights. I'm sure his friend, Sully, will miss him as well as his family. I thought he was cute. I would have loved to have sex with him.

Rude and disrespectful disbelief

I don't think that was rude or disrespectful. I think Billy Mays was incredibly handsome myself! May he be resting peacefully.

I doubt no one was a fan of him. I thought he was annoying alongside Mr. Slap Chop.

I'm not an infomercial guy, and I thought he was obnoxious at first, but his ESPN commercials are absolutely classic!


"Live sports at work? That's much better than work at work."



This one is my favorite:

"I'm not that strong a reader".



LMFAO at his family on this one!

"That's an Ohio State game!"



Holy crap, I'd never seen THIS ONE. Funniest one ever! Yakuza businessmen, LMFAO!



R.I.P., Billy.

I was actually a big fan of his. I really was. As a pitchman, he was a consummate professional. I was heavy into sales at one point, had read all the books and stuff, and had noticed early on that Billy Mays was hitting all the sales points. He's what you'd refer to in sales as "a closer". I would notice his hand gestures and marvel at how he'd literally pull you into him as he's selling you the product. He was very skillful in that way. Then he'd just keep coming at you, eliminating all reasons for you to NOT buy this product, lol. By the time he got done screaming at you, telling you how great this product was, you HAD to buy it, lol. And I had read his bio somewhere online, and learned how he had been trained by the best. So yeah, I was a fan. I thought he was a real pro. nod

But yeah, I get where he was loud and annoying, lol. But he got my attention, and probably could have sold me anything, lol.

I wonder if his death is similar to the woman who died earlier in the year after hitting her head in a ski accident. Seemed totally fine and then deteriorated and died.


You mean Natasha Richardson? Yeah that was just terrible what happened to her.

If you have a head injury accident like Natasha Richardson or this dude for crying out loud go to your nearest ER and let them know and get an CAT scan of your brain just to make sure there is no fatal brain bleed.

If you don't catch it soon enough you will die.
