David Carradine also died this month.

That is shocking about Billy Mays. Wow.

Billy Mays was a fantastic spokesperson! What a shame.

In memory, I had to watch his ordering of a breakfast at McDonalds. It's hilarious.

Yes it was pretty shocking to read "Billy Mays dies at 50". I was always annoyed whenever I heard "Hi Billy Mays here!" but now I do really feel bad. He was pretty cool. Vansmith, that video you linked was just an example! That was a very funny video. I loved the "Hi Billy Mays here!" this time haha!




RIP Billy. I'll never think of your commercials the same way again. Tomorrow, I'm gonna buy a bottle of Oxyclean.

I tried OxyClean and it was pretty good. My one friend loves it and uses it all the time.

RIP Billy.

I've had mix results with it, but it's still a good product. The stars are falling >_<"""", it's a sign.

Man this is a really bad month for celebs, if I was them I'd start hanging out in the E.Rs for a bit.

RIP B. Mays!

All these celebrity deaths are coming as a surprise to me. You'd think with their money they'd have the best medical care. At least in May's case, his death seemed preventable.

"Hey honey, Billy Mays here. What's for supper?" - just a minor tweak ;).

"I'd like not one, not two, but THREE pieces of bread, honey!"

"Will there be any shipping and handling costs on this meatloaf?
