OxyClean Pitchman Billy Mays dead at fifty.
He lived in the Tampa Bay area as does the pitchman for ShamWow.

I got a nickel says the autopsy finds "Toxic levels of Orange Glow and Oxyclean"

My goodness he was always demonstrating some toxic chemical!

Probably safe to say he was not on the Demerol/Zoloft cocktail little Mikey was on.

Another 50 year old dead. Time to hit the gym again.

Rigor mortis won't set in for another fifty years.

Sorry to hear that he died, but I will not miss the sound of his voice. I changed channels everytime he came on.

Saturday he had just flown in from Penn. and it was a rough landing. He said he got hit on the head by something in the overhead. He was a nice guy.

Actually, a suite case fell on his head during a bad plane landing. The plane blew a front tire during landing and luggage was falling from above. He went home and wasn't felling very well. He went to bed and never woke up.

I can see the head line: "Sham Wow Guy Found Dead with Headset Shoved Up His . . . "

I wish someone would beat Vince to death with his Shamwows and Slapchops...

It's a shame Billy died though, his commercials were annoying but I kinda liked his new TV show on Discovery "Pitchmen". It gave you a pretty good idea whats behind the creating and marketing of all the "as seen on TV" junk.

Yeah we know. Or at least I do. Hitting a hooker. His new book "How to kill your career."

He probably died from over exerting himself yelling at us prospective purchasres.

Did no one ever tell him about microphones?

There are other screamers on the tube, and they are not all carnys and pitchmen, that might learn a lesson from this.

"Slap all your troubles away"

Didn't work for him though. He must be doing well...the girl who beat him up was supposedly a $1000/night woman.
