Billy Mays- Who Got It Right

[TVradioguru]

Sorry, I couldn't resist...

With all due respect, not sure what your point is.

Are you mocking the coverage of Jackson? Or are you comparing him with Billy Mays? Please elaborate.

With all due respect,

I think he was making a joke. I laughed. Lighten up.

"BILLY MAYS HERE FOR DEATH, THE ONE TIME SIMPLE FACT THAT CAN ELIMINATE EVERY PROBLEM IN YOUR LIFE BECAUSE IT ELIMINATES YOUR LIFE!......"

WELL, JUST LOOK AT IT THIS WAY--WE ARE NOW ONE STEP CLOSER TO FINALLY BEING RID OF ALL THE *LOUD COMMERCIALS* THAT HAVE PLAGUED US FOR THE LAST SEVERAL DECADES!!!

(sorry, couldn't resist....... ;o)

Maybe the Sham Wow guy will be next?
(Maybe not, who knows. He's more irritating than he is loud. Still, a guy can be hopeful, can he not?)

Maybe the Sham Wow guy will be next?

This may be ONE time I'm rooting FOR syphyillis.

......I was sad to hear of the deaths of Farrah and Michael.... BUT I'M TICKED at Billy's death! He may have been a old style "Loud Banter" sales pitch man, but if you noticed, his stuff worked and did not cost a bazillion bucks..... I was starting to get into his show with the other pitch man... Having folks get their thumbs up and backing for their new products of help and home improvement was a fun thing to watch.... Geez? We all are mortal, are we not?????? We're broadcasters and broadcast fans....Talk about LOUD BANTER and hype... We have no room to do anything but joke and tease.... In which, I think Bill would love the jabbing and teasing.... He lost weight, stayed fit, but it looks as if the ticker already had the damage from his earlier years.... Michael gave us music to enjoy and better our daily existance, but was an odd fellow who had alot of damage done by those around him (family and so-called friends and industry)....Even the GOOD friends who tried to help, he discarded or kept at a distance.... Farrah was the calendar gal for the guys of my generation (What station I worked at did not have that poster up in the PD's office or on the studio wall?).... Fred who could do thousands of voices and characters, and Gale Storm who could act and sing as well as any pop icon of the early TV era, have passed.... We are all mortal..... Remember, to live each good and bad day...Live each day, attempting to love the loveless, as well as the loving.... Experience greatness of life in the little things as well as the big things......Look for a complete life in all you can and can't do and remember there is someone bigger than you and I...... You! Each of you! Are important in the earthly relm of life....... I think I'll turn on Rundgren's "A Dream Goes On Forever"..... Ahhhhh! Another cup of coffee at my redneck version of Starbucks......... An ol'jock in a small town, enjoying life, and still dreaming....

Bongwater... you crack me up! If anyone else saw Billy on the Tonight show recently (clip still on Hulu.com), they would realize that Billy had a great sense of humor and he probably would have laughed too. LOUD but he sure seemed like a very genuine 'good guy'.

Also, The Sham Wow guy recently was busted for beating up a prostitute (search, you'll find it)... so if all goes well, we will not see or hear from him for awhile.

Wrong. Knowing how he AND his family are, he would NOT have laughed at anyone's death. This family is crushed right now, as are his friends who live near me. This is really tacky and low.

 

[skippertthomas]

DJ Alan.... Yeah.... Billy is laughing along with us! By the way... Have not seen bongwater in a long while..... Humm? Anybody save that stuff after the weed was gone?
