TV Pitchman Billy Mays Dead at 50

TV pitchman Billy Mays had heart disease, coroner says - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/TV/06/29/mays.death/index.html)

Not sure why people think its so strange that people are dying when around 150,000 people die each day in the US and this week its just popular people have died.

Hello, Billy Mays here and today I want to introduce you to an amazing product called Oxi Clean.

Actually you said exactly what I was thinking. Tons of people die every day. Just because recently more of them happened to be famous doesn't make it any more of a sad thing.

I could give a rat's ass if Billy Mays died, just like he could have gived a rat's ass if I died three weeks ago.

The amount of celebs kicking it has been unusual. No more sad than a regular Joe, just odd is all.

Billy Mays was at the height of his popularity as a pitchman for anything sold on TV. Who would've thought that his death would come so quickly! The cause of death as being head trauma needs to be investigated further. Somebody mentioned that previously and I agree.

With all that screaming, no wonder he had bp issues.

Its weird the amount of death that's in front of our faces this past week or so. Metro crash, celebs, and last week I witnessed a teenager get hit by a truck and killed in OC.

Kind of forget sometimes how temporary life is.

Wow, that must have been a crazy thing to witness

Guess that stock market guy on CNBC must be about to bust a vein soon then (Don't know his name). I always see that guy going nuts on TV.

I rarely agree with firstdown in the parking lot, but I agree with this statement.

Don't get me wrong, I think it is sad these people died, Mays seemed like a really good guy. However, people die everyday, and in crazy ways too. We don't hear about everything unless it is high profile.

That is why I don't buy the whole "it is really weird thing". It is really sad, but everyday is.
