Wow...tragic. I couldn't help but laugh a little you said "he was the michael jackson of infomercials" but yeah...this is really sad. =/
Since Michael Jackson is undoubtedly going to make his way into this thread, I think it's worth noting that Billy and Michael were both 50 when they passed.

"NOOO" Indeed. About two weeks ago I was watching one of his informercials late at night for no apparant reason. The guy was epic. RIP... :/
Damn.
NOOOOOOO Not Billy Mays! He was my hero. ;_;
STOPITSTOPITSTOPIT!!! Quit dying everyone D':
I actually liked the Pitchmen show... This is such a depressing week...
Holy crap, I wonder what happened to him? :(
i could care less
Why is everybody dying BUT WAIT THERES MORE
GET ON THE BALL
Where's the article on all the African kids that died of starvation today?
Oh wait...
People die all the time but we don't care because they were invisible to us. When public figures like Billy Mays and Michael Jackson and Farrah Faucet die, we feel like we've lost something because we have. This is because we won't see or hear about them anymore. They won't be on our favorite TV shows or they wont' be able to produce our favorite music. When they die, our culture changes just a little.
This is scary...they really are dropping like flies...
R.I.P
EDIT: I just heard about the bump he got on that plane. It's like Natasha Richardson all over again....
I thought this was a sick joke at first, but now I'm sad :(
Wow this is terrible to hear. This guy was indeed epic for informercials and you know you've made a huge impact on people when someone actually dresses as you for Halloween
Remember G-4 Halloween special last year when Kevin Pereira dressed up as Billy Mays?

It's all that Vince Shlomi guy's fault... This guy was awesome. I loved watching that "The Pitchmen" show because of Billy Mays, actually I was just watching it last night. :(
