I'm dead.

http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-billy-mays29-2009jun29,0,6116879.story

He was found unresponsive in his home by his wife and he couldn't be revived. America has now lost a valuable infomercial salesman. Who will yell at us to buy products on TV now? Vince Shlomi the Scout?

...[tornado fang].

Image aside, RIP Billy. God damn, this has been a bad week for anyone considered famous in the public light. What's worse is Mays was also 50 and died in the same vague manner as Michael Jackson. No cause of death confirmed yet.

Someone is doing this...

I agree, these deaths can't all be coincidences can they?

Gaia · **Reply #3 on:** June 28, 2009, 06:40:22 PM

Someone has hired an assasin. I know it, but this chain is suspicious. SOMEONE is killing them, it's the chef, how else how can they die from a random heart attack?

By all means, first Micheal, now Billy. Both died from a random heart attack. and both were 50. Something is odd.

Well, a lot of the people we know as famous are getting older. It's only a matter of time until they really begin dropping like flies. In this case, this was a guy who burst on to the TV yelling at us to buy OxyClean and Easy-off Bam. He only became famous because the Internet grabbed on to his loud ways and ran with it... sort of like an American version of Barry Scott. This may be a death that hurts the Internet more than people in real life, though it's still sad nonetheless.

I know I just found out too.. I was gonna make a thread about it but you guys got to it first. News sure flies fast. RIP Billy Mays..

At least Billy Mays images won't be mounted on the front page of Photobucket, or be mentioned on the Radio followed by one of his best songs.

Satoryu · **Reply #16 on:** June 28, 2009, 07:50:09 PM

this is weird. of all the emotions this could make me feel, i'm only left confused, flabbergasted, even, at how this is even possible. four important people to pop culture (some more important than others) have died in less than a week. Billy Mays said it best: "You shitting me?"

Billy will be missed.

and yes, we should start protecting all the important, older celebrities.

Blackhook · **Reply #17 on:** June 28, 2009, 08:10:22 PM

This year is really f**ked up: 2 famous Slovak people (actor - cancer, Writer - old age)
1 famous Czech singer
David Carradine
That actress who´s name I forgot
Michael Jackson
Billy Mays (someone I hear the first time about lol)
.........I would really watch over Elton John, Madonna, George Michael, Paul McCartney etc.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #18 on:** June 28, 2009, 08:16:23 PM

He's promoting Angel Wings now. RIP, you magnificent bastard!

WHAT. THE. [TORNADO FANG]ING. HELL...?!

Although the police suspect no foul play, I agree that something is up. Although I never really thought that real Death Notes actually existed before, I'm having second thoughts now. If a Death Note really IS involved, there is no way to protect any other celebrities.
But why Celebrities? I'm thinking that it might be somebody is doing this outside of the country (will not say the "T" word in case of banning or some government official tracking my I.P address and arresting me). This is just too damn suspicious.

STM · **Reply #21 on:** June 29, 2009, 12:38:52 AM

This one is just a freak accident, likely. Still it's a bit soon to say, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is ruled as one.

borockman · **Reply #22 on:** June 29, 2009, 01:18:09 AM

Holy!

Whoa, Sparky must be very shocked hearing this!

2009 is a crazy year...

Girla PurpleHeart · **Reply #24 on:** June 29, 2009, 02:21:32 AM

What the hell's going on!? Is the Grim Reaper trying to kill everyone because of our economy!? I heard rumors about this, at first it was a joke but it turns out that the news was real. Aww man, there's goes my favorite meme. T_T
