Another "celebrity" death

'Infomercial King' Billy Mays Found Dead in Home

Television pitchman Billy Mays — who built his fame by appearing on commercials and infomercials promoting household products and gadgets — died Sunday.

Mays, 50, was found unresponsive by his wife inside his Tampa, Fla., home at 7:45 a.m. on Sunday, according to the Tampa Police Department.

Police said there were no signs of forced entry to Mays' residence and foul play is not suspected. Authorities said an autopsy should be complete by Monday afternoon.


Here's another one I'm pretty much neutral about. I remember thinking I would probably attempt to strangle the guy myself if I ever heard another one of his commercials. The dude always yells throughout the whole thing. He probably had a family to take care of and stuff, so I don't think it was suicide. If you have no clue who this guy is, just watch this:


*You are now in tune with a voice from beyond. This is what it sounds like*


Doesn't the recent spate of celebrity death seem like a distraction from all the other things that are going on?

Twilight Language got to the story before I did (I love the blog name change, btw... I sometimes feel as if I'm trying to understand an alien language making some connections)
