another celeb (kind of) "Billy Mays" dead

reefer Bob · 06-28-2009, 09:10 AM

They found Billy Mays dead this morning. The infomercial king known for Oxy Clean. What is with all the celebs dying?

I saw this yahoo this AM and posted it on my local club forum.

WTH? It is a bit odd that all these famous, and "famous" people are passing away.

Farrah was a only a matter of time, she had a horrible disease that she did not have treated properly but MJ and Billy Mays?

Its a wierd chance that he was on a flight yesterday that had landed in Tampa and it blew a tire during landing and skidded down the run way. I dont know if it had anything to do with it. But the plane did it late yesterday and he died early this morning.

Says he bumped his head on the plane. Probably a subdural slow venous bleed

He was a good guy. I listen to the MJ Morning show and he's a good friend of MJ's, he apparently just talked to him last night.

Wow that's crazy. Even though Billy Mays annoyed the snot out of me, I still thought he was hilarious.
I'm gonna feel so odd the next time I see OxiClean or Orange Glow.

no kidding... this is sad news... and honestly is more of a shock than MJ... I've been watching his show PitchMen, I can't believe it's gonna end like this... bummer.

Now God can have Oxy Clean too. Rest in peace pitch man, rest in peace.

What do you mean kind of! This is by far sadder than Faucet and Jackson combined! Billy Mays was King! I may even go get his name tattooed. This is just the worse weekend ever

Siddique · 06-28-2009, 12:41 PM
