http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30308356/ cnbc is having a special on tonight about "as seen on tv" products etc and they did an interview about it on msnbc this morning and the people that made the documentary said that people think that if they cant get billy mays (the loud talking oxy clean guy) to promote their products they feel they are doomed.. i personally cant stand billy mays.. he is annoying and gives me a headache and heck i have never bought anything he has sold.. could they be right? do you think a product making it could be just because of this guy??

I have also watched him for years....and recently just bought one of the products he promotes...he is annoying but I bet that is why the products sell....you remember them as opposed to someone that is less annoying!

I don't think so, because I refuse to purchase anything that he is trying to sell. He is the most obnoxious man, and I don't like to be yelled at. I don't understand why he feels the need to scream at viewers. I am wondering if he wouldn't sell more porduct if he would simply lower his voice and talk to us like we had some god given sense.
