My favorite commercial:

They say death comes in threes.

Jackson, Fawcett, and Mays.

May God bless their souls.

With all due respect, Ed McMahon was the third (or first).

Sucks that Billie Mays died though. That was random.

wow, weird that a guy in his 50's just dies like that w/o any sign or major health issues... RIP to Billy Mays... seemed like a nice guy.

this guy just took out another life insurance policy

Man, this has been a crazy week.

R.I.P. Billy.

Ironically enough, Tuesday night at our local ballpark is 'Infomercial Night' and was supposed to have a Billy Mays look-a-like competition. I wonder if it'll be canceled now.

LOL

He was like family, of the TV kind.

I wonder if he died of the same problem as Natasha Richardson, who hit her head while skiing- blood build-up between the brain and skull, I think. She did not really get checked after her accident either.

Very sad.

Paladin- sounds like a very similar situation.

He shilled a lof of stuff on early morning and Sunday morning infomercials, didn't he?

RIP Billy. I still use OxiClean with my laundry.

Saw this earlier today. Feel bad for the guy, he was gaining alot of celebrity and it took a long time for him to get where he was. I was just getting pretty addicted to the show him and Anthony Sullivan have called Pitchmen too.

RIP Billie Mays. OxyClean DID work as advertised, and I thank you for introducing me to this wonderful product. Pitchmen are a dime a dozen, but good men are rare; you, sir, were both a great man and a great pitchman.

If it was the bump on his head from the flight, its just more reason to demand an ambulance after any accident, even if it seems minor.

Had a friend once that got into an accident, felt fine, drove home, everything good...kid dies from some internal bleeding or somethin'. This was only a few years after high school. Poor guy. First friend death in my life .

This guy has his own problems, including an incident where police got involved after a prostitute bit his tongue. (He tried to kiss her, I think).

He just had another incident recently- just can't remember what it was. (Maybe a car accident?)

And to top it off, Sham-wow had to lower its claims about how much water it could sop up after an independent study showed they were lying.


Wow

yeah, i read about that story w/the prostitute... i guess she wasn't shamwow'd.

He was probably up shts creek the second he was hit in the head. They might have been able to save him if he was taken immediately to the hospital but with that type of injury--nothing is assured.
Terrible and sad to have your life ended like that--you think that you mightve fended off something sinister with an emergency landing only to find out it doesnt matter. I think Id rather have an illness knowing what my fate so I could say proper good byes to my family. It's your last goodbye I would think God would let more people at least have that.

SHAMWOWWW!!! Why did he try to kiss her? Is it not acceptable to kiss prostitute? I don't understand. Why she bite toungue?!

For a cracked-out whore, she doesn't look half bad.

I don't think she is cracked out.
