Tampa police say Billy Mays, the television pitchman known for his boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean, has died. He was 50.

Authorities say Mays was pronounced dead this morning after being found by his wife at home. There were no signs of a break-in, and investigators do not suspect foul play. The coroner's office expects to have an autopsy done by Monday afternoon.

FUCK. Ed McMahon, MJ, and Billy Mays in the same week? What a shitty fucking week this has been.

You forgot Farrah Fawcett.

You know, I barely had any idea who Ed McMahon was, I've never watched Charlie's Angels, and I'm not a big fan of pop.

BUT BILLY MAYS?!
That's pushing it, God. That's pushing it.

Good night, Sweet Prince.

Yeah her too, but she was struggling with cancer anyways. MJ and especially Billy came out of left fucking field.

 

[Misha Hiroki]

I guess that's true, but you still can't count her out just because we knew it was coming.

Also, I didn't really care as much about her death. McMahon was hilarious, MJ was the fucking King of Pop, and Billy Mays was a legend and all-around nice guy.

And they say death comes in threes. If you want my opinion on all of this, I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that it now comes in fours.

Don't forget that David Carradine died earlier this month. It could be that him, McMahon, and Farrah were one set of 3, and MJ and Billy Mays are part of a second set.

 

[BlisteredBlood]

Right, my bad.

But yeah, as Laudanum mentioned, all of this death this month alone is really starting to push it.

 

[Hahvoc The Decepticon]

MJ's been dead for years. His body finally said, "Fuck it! I need real sleep!"

Though I am sad that Billy passed on. He was cool.​

Except, Michael Jackson didn't die, so its still threes. Unless you count David Carradine. According to last week's Globe he was strangled to death by tranny hookers... which somehow seems more plausible than the prevailing theory.
