Please God, don't let this be true. ;-;

Billy Mays is now selling godly products to the angels.

A man of his duty until the very end.

Billy was awesome, I pretty sad over this loss. Now Vince will try to sell his products to me instead of Billy.

Also, I find it strange that there hasn't been a single person in this thread asking "WHO'S BILLY MAYS?!?". How does everyone around the goddamn world know or care about an American "as seen on tv" marketer?

Awesome man though he was, I'm just wondering how he became an international phenomenon...

Best advertiser in the history of the craft.

"But Wait, There's More..."

Billy Mays is NOT a hooker.

Or they would've found him slapped to death...

Why is the guy in the comic eating OXI-CLEAN.

I've been watching the Pitchmen marathon on Discovery all day.

I miss Billy Mays.

Continue crying over Michael Jackson while the rest of us mourn the death of a respectable, hard working, inspirational human being.

Goddamn sixteen year olds not understanding anything.

^You do know comes great beauty comes great stupidity, right?

In the past few months we all learned so much about the man behind the thick beard and the booming voice. He was a kind man, even doing pro-bono work for the client from Texas with the slippers. A man who put his family first. He was a perfectionist to the T. He was a true believer in the products that he endorsed. He showed us that wearing a beard was cool again! Above all, he demonstrated that a man from humble beginnings can rise to the top, and still be humble. And despite his meteoric success and stardom, he never took himself seriously. Billy's parodies of Billy were sheer genius. He introduced us to OrangeGlo, and OrangeGlo introduced millions of us to Billy, and thus, the legend was born. The world of direct marketing would never the same again. He was truly unforgettable! And we will never forget him. Every time we put OxiClean in our laundry, we will remember him. There was never one like him, and there never will be.

Where would we be today without OxiClean (now a staple of American households), Zorbeez, Mighty Mend-it, and Mighty Putty, to name but a few? Who could ever forget the Awesome Auger? And Billy broke new ground in direct marketing with iCan health insurance. No matter what you may have thought about his hearing problems (the deaf don't speak as loud as Billy!), we all know that Billy Mays became an icon of American pop culture, the everyman who achieved success through hard work and determination, failure did not deter him. Someone we will never forget. He pushed on with a drive few can match. And today, we all lost someone special. There will never be another like him, a once in a lifetime character, and he will be dearly missed by all.
