OMG I couldn't believe it. I was just now watching pitchmen as I was flipping through the channel and my son said "Mom Billy Mays died" I said "WHAT??????"I jumped out of my chair and had to come read the story I just can't believe it because first Ed McMahan, Then Farrah Fawcett, Then Michael Jackson, and now Billy Mays??? I thought it was supposed to be a 3 thing?
Yes Billy was loud and obnoxious but it's true he didn't pitch a product he didn't believe in, and more importantly it had to be affordable to the general public. In my opinion that was awesome of him!
Billy's death shocked me more than any of the others because well Ed was up in the years, Farrah had been battling cancer for quite some time, Michael was a shock to me but not extremely as I knew he has been battling pains for quite some time, and well after watching the documentary a few years back it was quite evident to me that Michael just wasn't all there. Billy on the other hand his death was a total shock to me. Just goes to show we can all be "healthy as a horse" one day and gone the next.
May all 4 of them rest in peace.

His commercials and informericals were the only ones I would sit through and watch the whole thing..he had that kind of presence he had a great booming voice that that made people set up and listen..and want to see what he was trying to sell..He will be missed and nope no one can replace him..that is for sure.

Until I just read this post, I thought that Billy Mays was number 3! I don't remember hearing about Ed McMahan. It has been my experience that things happen in three or multiples of three. If that holds true here, then we should be expecting 2 more celebrity deaths in the near future. Kind of makes me wonder.

I was surprised by this myself when I read it on yahoo earlier today. I first saw him in commercials out in Reno, NV when I was visiting family in late 07. The commercials he was in usually grabbed your attention because of his voice and demeanor. It is a shame.
