On a serious note, yes he's dead. It's a shock when numerous famous celebrities such as Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson & now Billy
Jean, I meant Billy Mays all pass away.
At first I thought he'd be making a pitch ad with something along the lines of the "Revive" pill but that would be too satiristical.

All fun aside Billy had a killer beard and was truly a excellent salesman. He was solely responsible for selling millions of dollars worth of crappy products.
I am sorry that he is gone, and am sorry for those he leaves behind.

I enjoyed him on the discovery channel show pitchmen. This morning when I checked my computer and saw the headline I expected them to be talking about someone
else with the same name. It's sad.

I first saw Billy Mays on the Home Shoppping Network. He suckered me into purchasing Oxi-Clean and Orange-Glo. Neither of those products lived up to their
promise. I wonder if his newest product Kaboom is any good? The man was a very effective salesman. And he did have one of the best beards on TV.
RIP Billy

I'm sorry to see him pass so young. I think he has helped some people in the USA accept beards because he happened to keep his beard while demonstrating
hard work, confidence, good cheer, and successful business judgment. The products, although overpriced in some cases for their actual performance, at least
aren't fraudulent. I hope no American men will suddenly decide not to grow their beards because Mays is gone.
