Holy shit. Mays might have died from a hematoma. Sounds like a US airways pilot slammed the jet down, in directly causing Billy's death.

Like that Natasha Richardson skiing thing or w/e. Only saw it for a few seconds on the news once.

Edit: Wear Blue in memory of him tomorrow.

omfg what a sad and pathetic world we live in when a shouting hack snake oil salesman is wept over like he's some sort of cultural icon.


After extending basic human courtesy and respects and condolences to his next of kin, of course.

I've done lots of tradeshows and seen these guys all over the place; some pitch cookware, some pitch cleaning products some pitch solar power but for Gods sake people, they are just sales people. The show'd probably like you to believe the guy only hawked stuff he was a real believer in but I can tell you that these guys don't give a fuck and go from product to product, selling whatever puts coin in their pockets.


Of course I feel bad for his family, but even worse for the makers of hair coloring product for men, an industry his death will undoubtedly bring down. You watch, bearddye will soon be seeking a bailout.


All the times I lay on the couch when this guy would invade my screen yelling about some product so good you could only buy it on t.v. and I'd be stuck there, tortured but too lazy to get up and grab the remote, I would always thing " what an annoying douchebag, let me write this product down and be sure to never accidentally buy it. "


Me and my wife share at least this one credo;

If your main gimmick is to make annoying commercials we will not be buying anything you sell.


We was probably a good man and father, and it is sad that his family has lost him but ffs he was a sclock artist peddling garbage with drivel.

Providing for your family is much more important then what others think of you or your personal beliefs.

He was making a living. I don't get upset at salesmen (unless they keep approaching me after 3 no's). It's a life of 90% rejection. It's a difficult thing to master and audiences/consumers vary. I don't think his family wants the attention. In fact they said please respect our privacy.

I never thought this guy was an asshole.. annoying maybe. shamwow looks and sounds like a prick.

Why did he have to yell everything?

Couldn't they just have boosted the input level on his mic?

That video is a perfect example of what I mean;

With the impact gel, he puts his hand under it and whacks it with a hammer, but the side of the hammer with a ineffectual blow.
They he uses the hero swing and smashes a brick with the business end of the same hammer.

What a joke.

How is he any different from Micheal Jackson?  All MJ was, was some guy I've never met, whose songs I've heard from time to time, and enjoyed.  I don't think he ever deserved the parade of sympathy all the major news stations, and every single other person on the planet seems to have given him.  Why does one person deserve more credit for their life over another, depending on whether or not their lives meet up with your social expectations?


Regardless, I thought Billy Mays was hilarious, would never buy one of his products, but his way of selling was just plain silly, and it providing many a good laugh, especially when his commercial sound bites are used inappropriately.

We aren't remembering him for his selling skills. If you had watched pitchmen you'd realize its not about selling shit. I have not purchased anything from his commercials, but the fact that I saw him from an early age makes his death a sad thing. Its a change in the standard bullshit of life, its shocking.
