Billy Mays was a great infomercial guy, and I am shocked by his death.

So unexpected

He had a bigger impact on history than Michael Jackson. Goodnight sweet prince.

Also, Vince did it.
Aurain's Destructoid Blog
Fuck being Famous.

Dropping like flies.

R.I.P Mays.
I don't know who you are other than the guy in the Internet Memes. But R.I.P anyway.
The-Excel's Destructoid Blog
Who else is well-known by this generation and is 50 years old and/or a king?

GohanGVO's Destructoid Blog
RIP king of mop.
Doomsday Forte's Destructoid Blog
Didn't Ed McMahon die earlier this week too, or was that just a delayed memorial thing?

Him, Farrah Fawcett, MJ, and now Billy Mays in the span of a week (if I'm right). That's damn creepy.
Tubatic's Destructoid Blog
We always seem to get a week in the summer with three or more celebrity deaths. Its really strange.

RIP Oxiclean Guy
Justice's Destructoid Blog
0h man that's sad to hear, Smosh did a thing with him a few weeks ago didn't they?
Doomsday Forte's Destructoid Blog
He was also on the Tonight Show (Leno and O'Brien) recently, with Conan last week, wasn't he?

And that show on Discovery...damn.

HE DIED AT THE LOW AGE OF 49.99

Movies - David Carradine.
TV - McMahon.
Modeling - Fawcett.
Music - Jackson.
Advertising - Mays.

I think someone from the cooking industy is next. Someone middle-aged. Someone beloved. Someone with a bit of bad history that people try to overlook...



MARTHA STEWART NOOOOO

Fucking son of a bitch Vince.
Elsa's Destructoid Blog
@Electro Lemon... LOL on the Martha Stewart prediction.

Yeah... Mays made an impression... and actually made me want to buy oxy-clean - which is quite a feat because I hate cleaning!

Hilarious! Hilarious!
Kyousuke Nanbu's Destructoid Blog
Mays helped a lot of people accomplish their dreams, the show Pitchmen really showed the kind of stuff they did and how appreciative people where off him, they made you want whatever random thing someone had invented and had put their life savings into.

And he was on a plane that had 2 tires blow out on landing and nothing, this is some serious final destination shit.
