R.I.P. Billy Mays
http://stlouis.metromix.com/tv/article/tv-pitchman-billy-mays/1285690/content
"Billy Mays, the burly, bearded television pitchman known for his boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean, has died. He was 50.
Tampa police said Mays was found unresponsive by his wife Sunday morning. A fire rescue crew pronounced him dead at 7:45 a.m.
There were no signs of a break-in, and investigators do not suspect foul play, said Lt. Brian Dugan of the Tampa Police Department, who wouldn't answer any more questions about how Mays' body was found because of the ongoing investigation."
I'm infinitely more shocked about this than Michael Jackson's death, which we knew was going to come sooner rather than later given his health. But Mays? I watched the guy on Conan last week. And he even had that new Discovery Channel show, and was selling ESPN360.com in those recent commercials. Really unbelievable.
Rest in peace, Billy.

I'm infinitely shocked by that comment.
I understand as a 20 something year old you wouldn't have remembered the prime of Jackson's career, but to say the death of some cartoonish TV salesman shocks you more dumbfounds me.
