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

Where in the hell did you get that number?

around 2.5mil people die a year, that's slightly over 6500 a day, nowhere NEAR 150k

83% of all statistics are made up.

Your right and when I searched it again I found the same site and it was talking about religion and peoples spirits dying. I just saw that they said that 150,000 people die in the US each day and did not read what it was actually talking about.

Could you provide a link? It's not that I don't believe, I just would like to read that article. That just seems interesting to me.

We found that 60% of time it works 100% correctly.

What its just some religous site saying that people spirits are dying not actual people. Then they want to save your soul. The number seems to be more around what you said. I don't have time to find that site but if your looking to get save I'll find it this afternoon.

Do they also have facts and figures on the unemployment rate of leprechauns? How about statistics on mystical garden fairies becoming unwed mothers?

The Michael Jackson thread is closed, so on the topic of dead celebrities, this is most definitely a very interesting article written by a guy who was in Jackson's inner circle for years. Sadly, it sounds like the Nation of Islam and that douche Farrakahn got their hands on his affairs pushed him quite literally to death.

Billy Mays is the only of these latest celebrity deaths that really was sad to hear about. He was actually a great person.

My son (19 months) loved when his commercials came on. He'd stop whatever he was doing to watch.

With his show he gained my respect and it seemed he really cared to help people. Before his show I figured he would sell any kind of junk if he could make money but from watching his show it seem he really believed in the products he sold. Funny how kids pick up on some things and I bet it was his loud voice that caut his attention.

Not only did he believe in his products but he really cared for others as you said. I saw one episode where he was pitching his buddy's product who was a former pitchman( couldn't pitch anymore because of being disabled). His human side really showed.

The other guy, Sully(sp) comes off as a real ass.

Billy Mays was absolutely a great person. But how do you know the others weren't? We'll leave MJ out of this discussion but he's understandably a polarizing figure. But who's to say Ed McMahon or Farrah Fawcett weren't good people too.
