That's sad news. I've watched a few episodes of "Pitchmen," and from what I can tell, his son seems like a really nice person. Hope he, and the rest of the family, find some peace and hang in there.

All though I wanted to shove dull steak knives in my ears from his voice, I am going to miss his show :cry
RIP Billy Mays
-
WOW! I guess all that excitment is what did it.

Yeah, he was on the Philadelphia to Tampa Flight that had a nosewheel blowout on landing yesterday. He didn't have his belt fastened, and apparently had luggage come out of the bin and strike him. It is unclear if he was thrown from his seat or not, nor if he would have been struck had he been fastened in like he should have. The FAA is already up in arms on this one, and I'm sure a flight attendant or crew is about to lose their jobs.

It always happens in 3's, sucks he's dead, I was just watching Pitchmen on my DVR this morning, wonder if Anthony will continue the show?

True story:
When I did phone support for SBC DSL (this was before the AT&T merger) and Comcast cable internet (outsourced call center) one of the guys I worked with sounded EXACTLY like Mays. The voice, the volume, everything.

I'm sure a flight attendant or crew is about to lose their jobs.
First message had an error, timed out and was lost to the interweb electron hell.
Synopsis:
Nobody's going to lose their jobs. He would have been instructed at least 3 times during the descent, approach and landing phases through normal announcments (the ones the self loading cargo sheeple ignore) to fasten their belts. The flight attendants do a pretty good job of looking around for seatbelts but with some passengers masticated food storage and processing organs hanging out well over their belts it can be hard to see if someone is wearing it or not. It happens on every flight where some self important sweetheartbag doesn't put it on or clicks it off as soon as the airplane turns off the runway with a X number of minute taxi to the gate to stand up and grab their stuff out of the overhead bin. This behavior should be met with a whack in the head.
That said the fact airlines charge baggage fees these days contributes to the overheads being stuffed to the gills with bags that would normally be checked through. Anyone who has flown within the last year or so has noticed how in the effort to keep the pennypinching airlines from getting 15 more of their hard earned dollars are stuffing their things into a rollerbag bursting at the seams. Often some people can't even put it in their overhead without assistance from other passengers or flight attendants. It doesn't take a geological event to open these overhead bins. Just a jolt will do the trick and with all the weight stuffed inside it's a wonder more incidents haven't made the news where things come falling out of the overheads. Heck on my second day of IOE in an airliner I made everyone immediately aware we had returned to terra firma by lowering DCA's field elevation a foot due to my excessively firm landing. Okay it wasn't that bad but it was firm enough to open a couple overhead bins but not require the airplane be inspected for damage. Let this be a lesson to everyone to wear your god-damn seatbelts when the sign is on and leave it on until you get to the gate.

I'd only watched two episodes of Pitchmen, it seemed pretty funny though. I hope they still show the rest of the season. Shame about Billy Mays, his was a unique personality in a time when most people try to be the same.
-
Yeah geeze stodd. I was wondering after posting that maybe you might have known the guy and my black humor wouldn't be at all cool.
To me the guy was kind of annoying but am sad that he died so young for sure. Of course....Im betting his infomercials will go on and on and on.......
-
saw the title and thought it was a joke, but sure enough. Kinda a shock, especially with the other 3 this week. Makes me wonder who is next......and maybe we get to pick :devil
-
I was watching Pitchmen today, he has a young daughter it was pretty shocking to me.
-
Like Vanscrew, I'm more messed up about Billy than Michael.... For some reason, the world just seems too quiet now.....
Clear skies and the wind at your back, Billy! :salute

I will miss him.
Wont have to grab for the remote and hit the 'mute' button anymore.
Most annoying voice on TV.
No one ever told him to use his 'inside voice' apparantly.

I never listened to a full commercial, but I enjoyed the show on Discovery channel. A real direct marketing superstar -- even if he was selling crud you didn't need most of the time.
RIP Billy. RIP.

I liked his show, will miss it. :(

Hope it isnt in poor taste, but here are a few funnies to liven the mood

Billy Mays fired The Donald. In pre-production.

The GDP of Billy Mays is greater than the entire European Union. Before the recession.
In 2006, a man in Arkansas accidentally hit the bass boost button on his home theater remote during a Billy Mays infomercial. We only know this because last December, a team of forensic experts dressed in radiation-proof suits had finished their meticulous examination of the blast crater.
Narwhals wash their tusks with OxiClean.
Billy Mays attributes the power of his on-screen persona to an incident during his teenage years when he accidentally ingested a Caps Lock key from an IBM PS/2 keyboard.

Vin Diesel waxes his head with Liquid Diamond.
Billy Mays sold a lifetime of pity and a warehouse full of fools to Mr. T.
Mr. T once tried to throw Billy Mays. Instead of grabbing Billy, however, Mr. T found only a bucket of OxiClean in his hands. He immediately sought atonement through cleaning his gold chains.
After hearing a Billy Mays infomercial, R. Lee Ermey reconsidered his own personal commitment to perpetually yelling.
Billy Mays was the chief component of President Obama's 2009 stimulus package until the Republicans demanded he be replaced with tax cuts for the stinking rich. Billy made out just as well.
If you act now... hahaha, just kidding! Only Billy Mays has the power to compel you to act now.
Not only did Billy Mays sell ice to the Eskimos, he also sold them the extended warranty.
Billy Mays once sold pain to Chuck Norris.
