Billy Mays dead. You know who he is.

TAMPA, Fla. – Tampa police say Billy Mays, the television pitchman known for his boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean, has died. He was 50.
Authorities say Mays was pronounced dead Sunday morning after being found by his wife at home. There were no signs of a break-in, and investigators do not suspect foul play. The coroner's office expects to have an autopsy done by Monday afternoon.
Mays' wife, Deborah Mays, says the family doesn't expect to make any public statements and asked for privacy.
Mays was also featured on the reality TV show "Pitchmen" on the Discovery Channel, which followed Mays and Anthony Sullivan in their marketing jobs.

Dude, I just gone done watching an episode of Pitchmen. I'm a little creeped out.

50? depressingly young.

I wonder if ESPN has any more commercials with him in their vault.

Don't worry; others will rise to take his place.

No one can replace Billy Mays.

Vince Offer can.

In fact, an hour ago I saw his newest commercial for some kitchen choppin thing.

HE WAS SENSATIONAL. I suspect Billy Mays saw this commercial and knew he was done for.

HIGHLIGHTS: "Be like Vince and chop your problems away"
"You're going to love my nuts"
"Slap your problems away with the Slap-Chop"
"Stop having boring Tuna, stop having a boring life!"

Here you go!

Vince Offer can.

No. Billy Mays was a man. Vince is a meth addict.

Billy Mays was a poor man's Richard Karn.

I liked Billy, but Vince was damn impressive with that slapperchop thingie. I almost thought about considering whether to ponder buying one.

Billy Mays is the first person to die this past week who I actually cared about.

Does that make me a bad person?
