RIP Billy Mays


America's incredible pop culture, our greatest commodity, took another blow to the gut with the death of pitchman extraordinaire Billy Mays, 50. Maybe Farrah Fawcett needed to clean something that Michael Jackson spilled while Ed McMahan regaled him with an amusing Tonight Show reminiscence, triggered by Fred Travalena's quirky Carson impersonation.

Who really knows what goes on in that great TV set in the sky?

I can't believe we won't be hearing Billy Mays' tinny, whiny voice yelling at us over the tube any more! What are we gonna do?

Billy Mays dying seems so random and so SAD at the same time. Apparently he was seen with two of Mike's company's products before he died.

Good thing RayRay's still around to fill the void.

This slew of celebrity deaths is weird and sad. :(

Uh oh, maybe it wasn't heart disease that killed him. Maybe it was .... Mike's company's products!!
