I'm sorry to see him go, but my thumb isn't. This is going to save me several thousands pushes of the mute button.
 
Wow

I just saw that guy along with his buddy from the Pitchmen show on one of the late night talk shows - Conan or Letterman. Just this past week.

I can honestly say I found most of his stuff to be annoying. But I have to admire his success at his chosen career.
 
I liked him. He is gone way too soon. He had star quality, and I'm sure he was destined for wider fame.
 
He was certainly energetic, but I'll never understand his advertising technique. Do some people enjoy being screamed at?
 
Male and 50

Guess I should be glad to be facing 53 next month, saw today was the day Rod Serling and Frank Sutton both died at age 50, I lost my cousin John back in January at age 50 also....all heart attacks.....not to mention Michael....
 
Can't say I'll miss his screaming at all.

But the one that REALLY grates on my nerves is that awful "ShamWOW" guy...he's got the vibe of a total sleazebag. Just seein' that dude makes my skin crawl!
 
RIP Billy Mays

He may have been loud, but boy, did he sell a lot of OxiClean and Hercules Hooks! And he may have been straight, but oh, what a bear! Another true American success story.
 
Yes, I agree with you, looks like a low class sleaze. And he likes sleazy girls too, even slaps them around a bit.....

He always looks like he hasn't had a bath in sometime either.

 
WOW

That's sad. He could talk you into buying anything. He could almost talk me into buying a DieSoon (Dyson) vacuum....Bill in Az.....
 
He was a hot looking man in spite of the dyed hair and all of the barking he did. On that talk show it was refreshing to see him sitting still and talking in a calm and oh-so-much-sexier tone of voice. And while sitting there he'd flash an occassional understated and super killer smile that seemed to display some actual depth--soooo sexy. I wish that he'd not have worn an undershirt all the time. I'll bet there was a thick mat of chest hair to drool over. I guess we'll never know now. I suppose it was a strategy aimed at females who would find so much chest hair threatening. Is it any wonder why I'm becoming more and more miltant in my misogynistic views?

Between him and Ken Caminitti a couple of years back there aren't a lot of high profile bears left to enjoy on mainstream media.

This would be #5 if we're keeping track of recent losses and include Ed Mc Mahon and David Carradine, although Billy wasn't in the same league with the other four.

Update

Billy Mays was a passenger on the US Airways flight that blew a couple of tires on landing in TPA on Saturday. He wasn't wearing his seatbelt upon landing either, and got hit in the head. The FAA is already stating that passengers MUST wear their seatbelts for takeoff and landing. It could end up being a delayed head injury.
 
I liked him, moreso than MJ, saw him the other night on Conan as well. Wonder if it turns out to be a brain aneurysm or something from that bump on the head kind of like what's her name who died a few months ago at the ski resort.
 
I used to joke about how I would've liked to lock him in the trunk of a burning car with Vince the Shamwow guy and push it off a cliff. Not really so funny now. I admire him for making his money in entrepreneurial way, even if he was obnoxious about it.

And, guys, I'm not gay, but Billy Mays? Really? If that were a joke, it'd be funnier than the "Cowboy Billy Beans" thing from a couple of weeks ago. I guess that there's someone for everybody...
