Pitchman Billy Mays...Dead
Wow, another 50 year old. I was becoming a fan of this guy with the show and all on Discovery Channel. No link yet. No mention on his Wiki page either, and that site is quick. But the chick on MSNBC just reported it.

I have Pitch Men on right now, and flipped and saw this on one of the News channels... This should be interesting...

The report had mentioned that he was recently on a plane that made a hard landing. No connection but just a strange coincidence.

He was even interviewed, and said he was hit in the head. Done deal.

He was probably as good as Mozart or even Big Crosby, a real poop icon, he'll be missed!
