That plane incident deal is bizarre.

alright what the hell

Is this the guy the guy from Primus was on about ages ago? "Later days, Billy Mays" - or was that Willy Mays?

that is a bizarre capper to the Week of Celeb Shuffle-Offs.

(nobody knew who Billy Mays was ages ago, Stan)

Oh, didn't know that - Willy it must have been, then. Thx!

love oxyclean sooo much, this is really bumming me out. R.I.P.

a strange bookend to ed mcmahon's death imo. boardwalk hustlers, rip

If celeb deaths come in threes and McMahon/Fawcett/Jackson was one, then this is the beginning of a new group :-(((

so tired of the come-in-threes meme. especially when it leads to things like people arguing whether sky saxon was important enuff to count.

r.i.p. billy mays.

Sorry bunny lady :-(

Seriously, the plane thing

maybe he had a subdural hematoma. too bad.

a reminder that hercules hooks are not a substitute for seat belts

sounds like a natasha richardson kinda thing yeah

yep exact same thoughts

Where is latebloomer on this?

!!!

who the fuck is Billy Mays?

lol thanking u

This is too much. Why couldn't it have been that Shamwow guy instead?

What does wearing a seatbelt have to do with getting hit on the head, though?

Guys, this one bums me out more than any of the others this past week. RIP BILLY

why is that?

because he's IRONIC!!!

but for real, this dude found a niche and was...known by a lot of people. good for him and RIP

What does wearing a seatbelt have to do with getting hit on the head, though?

Seat belt round your waste keeps you in your seat, he probably went flying up in the air and struck his head. That is if this take of the airline's proves to be true.

Billy posted about it last on his Twitter last night, saying, "Just had a close call landing in Tampa. The tires blew out upon landing. Stuck in the plane on the runway. You can always count on US Air."

FAMOUS LAST TWEETS

because he's IRONIC!!!

No, because I fucking met him at an event once and he was one of the most genuinely nice, cheerful people I've ever met.

I seriously still don't know what it is and had never heard of him. That's what I get for being born in a culturally backward region of the world like Europe, I guess :-(

Have never tasted the deliciousness that ShamWow seems to be either :-(

Only know about the George Foreman Grill because of the internet :-(

Come save us :-(

Billy Mays dead; denim shirt sales down 90%

Ah, thanks jim. That makes sense. I was thinking that something fell down and hit him, not the other way around.

shamwow guy's whereabouts = is he still in jail for beating up a hooker?

sad news.

Billy Mays, 67, of Phoenix, Arizona passed away June 28, 2009. Mays was born in Dresden, Germany, November 25, 1941. In 1959, at the age of 17, he moved to the United States. He lived with his parents, Alexander and Charlotte in New Jersey. Mays married his wife, Lorraine and they soon became a family with three children, daughters, Bonnie, Debra and son, Ryan. The family moved to Arizona in 1976 to enjoy their life in the southwest and experience, "sunshine on his shoulders". Mays along with his wife became the founders of "Streets of New York" a restaurant company with growth throughout the Phoenix Valley. Bernd is also survived by his mother; sister, Barbara from Newburgh, New York and brother, Andreas from Berkeley, California, along with two sons-in-law, Andrew and Patrick. He was the very proud grandfather to five grandchildren, Logan, Austin, Brielle, Sage and Mikenna. He leaves behind many great memories of those who he touched during his lifetime. He will be greatly missed.

this is sad

this guy seriously brought a lot of joy into my home

and a lot of stains out of it

yes as much as i enjoyed trolling this thread, it is sad and i feel ashamed now

As an employee of an "As Seen On TV" store, this is all I have to say about the matter:

this bums me out more than MJ and farrah, and i'm not being ironic. being ironic is weird.

a subcultural gay icon died today, i'm sure thousands of bears are distraught over this

seriously, not shitting here, RIP ubiquitous bearded beefy mature dude

aw, poor bears!

lol

the dugout played nothing but oxyclean commercials on their tv last night in tribute, i hear

This was just reported on the BBC. The death, not the beary fanbase.

The Dugout is now the Ramrod! and I couldn't even get from the door to the bar at 8pm. (postparade nuttiness, you think i'd know better)

xp

I am still cracking up at the idea of StanM eating a ShamWow.

http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSTRE55S54J20090629?feedType=RSS&feedName=domesticNews

yes those are oxyclean shirts. dedication.

that makes me feel so many things

It makes me feel blue. Vibrantly blue.

I'm not sure if that's seriously fucked up or basically appropriate

it was nice of kenny rogers to show up tho

PortableApps: Billy Mays Caps Lock 1.0 Released

cocaine!

http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/TV/08/07/florida.mays.cocaine/index.html

oops!

cocaine "caused or contributed to the development of his heart disease" -- I wonder over what kind of term this means

MIRACLE POWDER!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQAFv1sI6TU

nasbisco this is what my friend who is a coroner says:

it works like this:
From the way the article is written, he probably had cocaine metabolites but no intact "parent" cocaine. Cocaine is known to make heart disease way worse, or even induce heart disease early in people who wouldn't normally have it. So something like "recent cocaine use" would go on the death certificate in a section for "other significant conditions."

OR they might put it in the main cause of death if they knew he used it before, like "Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease complicated by chronic cocaine abuse." I would have to know more about the case.

yeah, I guess that's what I was wondering, whether it was like "recent cocaine use contributed to this specific event" or more like "heart weakened by chronic cocaine use over longer term." it seems like it'd have to be a pretty significant connection to go in the report either way.

wait cocaine, alcohol, hydrocodone, oxycodone, tramadol, xanax and valium?? guy is officially my hero.

They're still playing his commercials. Billy Mays is currently shouting at me to purchase the JupiterJack. What a sad legacy. This man will be remembered for screaming at people to buy products that they don't need.

Is it normal for a dead person to be urging me to buy things? I honestly don't know.

what's normal anymore

Makes you think...makes you think...

my 2 year old runs into the living room when she hears billy mays on tv

she also freaked out when i tried to change the channel during a big city slider station ad

I have seen that phenomenon from time to time. I saw Dominick Dunne's show this week. Also people like Lorne Greene were still selling dog food even after they died.
