:(

I really liked him. His poor family....and his little girl who is only 4 or 5.

[Mimiheart]

:eek:

[EnchantedFrog]

Was he a GOP supporter?

That landing did a number on him.

God bless his family and friends. :pray:

Was he a GOP supporter?

I don't know but I am glad he wasn't the voice of the GOP.

That voice will not be missed.

[Getty Girl]

I don't know but I am glad he wasn't the voice of the GOP.

That voice will not be missed.
he was the loud uncle i never had.......:sick:

[MrDuffy]

I don't know but I am glad he wasn't the voice of the GOP.

That voice will not be missed.

Which voice? The voice of the GOP?
I'm sure someone will miss Mr. May's voice.:(

[jungulator]

Was he a GOP supporter?

What's that got to do with anything?

[Spiked101]

TMZ says he got hit in the head on a hard landing at the airport. I wonder if something happened there. It says he was unresponsive when his wife tried to wake him up.

Pitchmen is a good show.

We were only just getting to know you and your great family Billy. RIP.

[sgtmac_46]

Not that i'm distraught, but this, oddly enough, struck me as a bigger tragedy than Jacko dying.

That was a personal opinion post.

Yeah, Jackson had a history of medical problems, Billy just looked so full of life. Here today gone tomorrow I guess.

It does sound eerily familiar:frown: What a shame and so young. RIP Billy.

LOl exactly, Billy Mays was an infomercial god. Many a night when I have been unable to sleep Billy saw me through the wee hours with his gaudy infomercials about hercules hooks, mighty putty and the like.

I guess that's it.......Jackson really didn't surprise me. But to see someone who seems healthy and alive suddenly go is kind of sad and unsettling.

As a tribute to Mays, I give to you all the remix of some of his finer pitches:

Man this is horrible. RIP Billie. :((

[notluzn]

Thank You. God Bless your familyDiscovery Channel spokeswoman Elizabeth Hillman released a statement Sunday extending sympathy to the Mays family.

"Everyone that knows him was aware of his larger-than-life personality, generosity and warmth," Hillman's statement said. "Billy was a pioneer in his field and helped many people fulfill their dreams. He will be greatly missed as a loyal and compassionate friend."

[notluzn]

[roger teekell]

That's IT...

He was 50 as well..

I'm skipping 50 and going directly to 51 when that Birthday roles around..

[mrclean]

Tough week for celebrities.

[wayoverthehill]

bummer.. sounds like the same thing that happened to liam neelsons wife......

rip, hawkerMy thoughts exactly when I read that he had been hit on the head by some unknown object in the hard landing of the plane the day before. Might have had internal bleeding in the brain.

Prayers for his wife and family and friends. :pray:

[super cool ski instructor]

OMG...another shocker.


RIP.

[NascarGirl2448]

I'm more shocked over this than I am Michael Jackson. However, his voice got on my nerves.

[NascarGirl2448]

I don't know but I am glad he wasn't the voice of the GOP.

That voice will not be missed.

I agree. Not to speak ill of the dead, but his voice got on my nerves.

[blazer]

mine too! His commercials were always so loud!

[super cool ski instructor]

He was in the middle of that reality show...I watched a few times and it was very interesting.

This is sad.....

[traditional_woman]

I made a post just a few weeks ago about living every day as it's your last. Tell your family and friends you love em while you still have breath. Spend quality time w/ them, and don't put the internet, or any other empty distractions before them.

I only knew him for the oxyclean commercials. RIP

[FidelisAdMortem]

Great guy, and loved the show on discovery channel. Along with Farrah what a sad loss. RIP.

[zerk]

RIP.


not since my girlfriend, has there been somebody who could yell at me to buy things so well.

[gb2004]

What the hell is going on?

It's called death. Happens to everyone eventually.;)

This is bizarre. My husband works for USAirways and he was telling me about this flight that landed yesterday and something happened with the front landing gear or something. Apparently Billy was on that flight and hit his head. No seat belt. He probably had bleeding on the brain or something.:(

At least we all still have ShamWow pitchman Vince Offer to take the reigns! :clap:

[Lord of Mirrors]

At least we all still have ShamWow pitchman Vince Offer to take the reigns! :clap:The dude who beats up hookers? Not even in the same class as Billy and Sully.

[jungulator]

Seems to have been a heart attack and not a head injury.

A Florida medical examiner said Monday that an autopsy of television pitchman Billy Mays showed that he suffered no head trauma and that his death appears to be the result of a heart attack during his sleep.

[newyorkjetsfan]

I can't believe that he died. Truly sad. :(

Discovery Channel will have a marathon of Pitchmen this Wednesday at 11 a.m.

[Vaard]

the day of his death.. before he died.. or at least before they announced it..... i was watching a pitchman show.....

they had the part where they are interviewing people about their products.... one guy came in and had a device that would let cars run off water......


billy was very excited, but sully said "if we pitch that product, they will put a hit out on us".....


billy somewhat agreed with sully not to do the pitch for that product, but you could see he was still interested.......

about an hour later, they announced billy's death.......


that freaked me out a little......

[JudasGoat]

the dude could rock a beard.
what a bummer.
