It seems like this is not a very good month as several celebrities have passed away. Ed Mchman, Farrah Fawcett, Micheal Jackson and now Billy Mays.
Billy Mays was famous for being a loud voiced pitchman. He has done infomercials for things like Oxy Clean, Awesome Auger and so many others. He also recently had a show on Discovery channel called Pitchmen. It had him and another known pitchman, Anthony Sullivan, showing the process of finding products, testing them and then marketing them to see how they do.
He was only 50 years old. His wife found him and they will be performing an autopsy, since there are not signs of what happened and he was so young.
I have watched his show on Discovery channel and enjoyed how they test and only market the products that they like themselves and the ones they know work..
Have you ever seen his Pitchmen show? Have you ever used any of the products he loudly pitched? If so do you like the product(s)?

I didn't know he had passed away. I know exactly who he is. He was the face of infomercials for a long time, and he convinced me to use Oxy clean.

I believe he just passed away this morning according to what I read on MSN. I think he convinced everyone to use Oxy Clean. The product actually works. I like how he would only pitch products that he liked and uses himself.

I've seen him screaming on TV, and I can't get to the mute button fast enough. Maybe the Oxyclean was too strong or toxic for him to smell all the time. I didn't appreciate him screaming at me like some preachers do. Hopefully they'll find out what happened.
