Billy Mays is Dead
First, Michael and Farrah, and now Billy Mays. Who is next?
This man was a serious pioneer in the sales and marketing industry, and he is an idol of mine. Some are suspecting that a knock on the head from a rough landing on a plane could have caused blood to clot. He never woke up from his sleep. Read more about it here.
I’m gonna miss those infomercials…. Damn. What a depressing week.

Really does suck. Sure, many of us might have rolled our eyes with his louder than loud pitches But then his technique got you, you had to watch and finish regardless what he was selling. I mean I live in an apartment and have no yard so no nead for any kind of auger, let alone an awesome auger. But Billy really just burst out there showing you why you just couldn't live without it.
Billy was like a great magician. With magic you know it's a trick and do your best to catch it but you don't really want to figure it out in the end.
Same kinda went with billy, you knew he was selling something that you probably didn't just have to have but without it you were less of a person
There are some people who are just amazing at what they do and define a trend while there are others that just try to learn as much about them while they can.
Billy Mays was a great man and a marketing mentor.
I regret his passing.
I was a fan of Farrah Facett growing up, not surprising perhaps for a then-adolescent boy.
Michael Jackson? He died too.
I always thought he did well because he looked like the guy from home improvement, Richard Karn. Maybe I am wrong.
Yes, and let's not forget also the recent deaths of Ed McMahon and Karl Malden (the old cop from The streets of San Francisco). It was a bad end of the month for celebrities.
