Yes, as Andy points out, he was a pretty big name in town, so this is quite shocking and sad.

Bummer....RIP Billy.

Why couldn't it have been this guy instead:



At least Billy Mays was a good man.

Bad ticker, I've read.

RIP Billy.

The longer you look at this picture, the scarier this guy gets.Egadz!

OK, who is that (I assume it's some other infomercial guy, but since I don't have TV...)?

It's Vince-the "Sham-Wow" guy. Sham wows are a super dooper cloth that can pick up the Atlantic ocean with just one swipe. Vince is probably hands down the most annoying fast talking snidely of the infomercial circuit. Recently, he got busted for assaulting a hooker after she bit his tongue. Nice guy

I am SO glad I don't have TV...
Sorry I asked...

And now back to our regularly scheduled program...
RIP Billy (even though I really don't know much about him either...)

Yeah, and Vince has a penchant for things that you read about in tabloids. He almost lost his tongue in a fight that you have to read about to believe and wound up in jail.

I am SO glad I don't have TV...

Me too.... I have high speed internet and a nice flat screen TV to watch my Blockbuster subscription movies..... but I am SO glad I don't have TV.

well, stated Mike. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Hmmmmmmmmmm...............

That's a good comparison, Todd! I hadn't put the two together, but you've nailed it.

OK, now I have to ask, who's the cartoon guy?

Yeah, I don't get out much...
