Okay, this is making 2008 look like a pussy. The kings of everything are going down in a year's time. King of Standup, King of Voices, King of Pop, King of Advertising.

Edit- If a staff member sees this, can I make this my avatar?

That sucks. I'm not one to really care much about celebrities, but I was raised watching Home Improvement and he was the greatest TV salesman going.

2009 does indeed suck, by the way. I miss 2005 :|

My memory sucks.

Either way, Billy Mays owned.

e/ Yeah, you're right. Last time I saw an ep I was about six, and someone else mistakenly told me it was Billy - since I had only a vague recollection, I just ran with it. My bad :F

2009? This week has been horrible.

4 celebrity deaths in a week.

Edit: Billy Mays most likely died of a Heart Attack. He was aboard a flight that had its front landing tire blow out during landing. Most likely that situation gave him a mini heart attack that eventually set off the one that killed him.

tbh I didn't really care about MJ. not living in his generation, I only knew him as a pedophile that somewhat resembled a lego.

But Billy, man, he was like jesus. No one will be able to wear that blue shirt as well has he did :'( . RIP

You won't get flammed just for not caring about someones death. It's the fact of doing stupid things, and posting stuff when you really don't know the guy.

Anyways this is not a MJ thread. This one time i had to turn up the volume on my T.V because sometimes T.V channels are more quiet then others for some odd reason, and then a billy mays commericial came on and it almost blew my ear drums out.
