Default Bad week (or so) to be famous

Billy Mays (commercial guy who had a show on Discovery) was just found dead.

That makes 4 if you count McMahon, Fawcett, and Jackson.

Yeah, thought about making a thread on his death but I figured a lot of people (sadly) would have no idea who he was.

Infomercials will never be the same.

Yeah, he did make great commercials. It was also fun to see the process of what goes on to make them.

And the sad thing is 2 of them were only 50 years old. My dad just turned 53. It is a real eye-opener.

Chuck Norris tried to roundhouse kick Billy Mays, but before his foot left the ground he was already on his way to 3 easy payments of $29.99.

good bye mr. oxyclean man.

RIP dude who's name I hardly payed attention to but knew about before.

Also, doesn't this make FIVE, not four? MJ and Ferris were 3 and 4. If Billy was after those two, then he is number 5 this week.

Though now the week is pretty much over. x)

Yeah, huh? My dad is... I don't know, 53 or something. For some reason I can't imagine people dying that young :\


Anyway, I don't know him because he was never on TV here, but RIP.
