Billy Mays...

[Frost]

Well, for those of you who don't know...Billy Mays is this guy ->

He was known for his extremely loud and sometimes obnoxious voice. For example:
or

He was also on the TV show Pitchmen -> I, of course, never knew him...But, he always made my day brighter. I know how cheesy and corny that sounds, but when I saw his infomercials, I laughed. He made things funnier.

No news that I have seen has paid much attention to him because of Michael Jackson. I mean, I know he was a pop star and everything, but can't you at least pay a little attention to the other celebs out there? But, that's all fine and dandy. I, for one, will miss the loud and sometimes obnoxious voice of Billy Mays.

In tribute to Mr. Mays:

OKAY.
I have this horrible "joke" from Texts From Last Night.
"they say celebs die in threes. leave it to billy mays to throw in one extra COMPLETELY FREE!"
i thought it was funny.
no, death isn't funny.
but i thought that it was BOTH off-color AND clever?

HI, BILLY MAYS HERE FOR WELL DESERVED TRIBUTES.

The reason billy hasn't been mentioned nearly as much as the others who have died within the last week/month (whatever) was because it was what his family requested. They asked to have time to mourn and to let every thing sink in and set their lives back up before they make a big statement to the press about it. And because of that the press has little to say about it.

Now, Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon, those two have definitely been under appreciated and under reported on.

Or at least that I know of, I've been in Okinawa for over a month so I've been a little out of the "celeb death" loop.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I heard about that, he was like my favorite commercial guy!!! didn't he die of a head concussion or something? BUT her cant die!!! nooooo...... now who will do the oxy clean show?

[Zwi]

As far as I know the official cause of death is undetermined. Like I said before, the family is waiting to make any sorts of information releases or statements.

it is confirmed that he was on a plane that upon landing the front tier blew out, and everyone on the plane was jostled around, and things did fall from the over head. Billy did admit to getting a hit on the head, but also said that he wasn't worried because he "had a pretty hard head". It's also been said by his wife that later that night he said he wasn't feeling well and wanted to go to bed early, and the next morning he was found unresponsive.

The blow to the head might have caused a concussion, but other theories are that it was an aneurysm, or even heat failure/disease. But, until the family release the autopsy information (if they haven't yet), it's all just speculation.

I heard about that, yes very tradgic, he just made a new commercial too. Also Blitz, you are right, he was in a plane and somthing hit him on his heat, forming a clot [on saturday], then leading a day or two after into a Stroke[sunday]. (only know this cuz my mm is a nurse lol)

very, very tradgic week. i'm glad im not a star. Im still getting over Heath Ledger dying. He was the joker from batman.

EDIT- Sorry Zwi,, didn't relise you posted that until after I posted. oh, well

[Zwi]

Talar: LOL! Don't worry bout it, it's cool. So was there finally a report about how he died, or is that just another observation and diagnosis from afar?

[Fellack]

The thing I really liked about him is that he had a sense of humor...
