Post by: fistfulofmetal on June 28, 2009, 01:22:10 PM: Billy Mays is at least relevant in today's pop culture. Just got a new hit show doing press junkets all over the place. This is much worse than Michael Jackson.

Get that noise out of here. Michael Jackson was a chump. Billy Mays was a True American Hero and a patriot of free market economics.

Listen to me you mother fucker, if ANYTHING happens to Samuel L. Jackson I will hunt you down, rip your fucking heart out with my bare hands put one of those plastic ones in there and make you watch as I eat your heart. Then, I'm going to find Cheebs and his family and make you watch as I force them to eat cement before I decapitate them with a rusty spoon.

Then I'm going to find a bum and take his heart out and give it to you so you have to live with the overwhelming guilt of WHAT YOU DID.

dude, chill, people were asking about samuel l. jackson last year when isaac hayes and bernie mac died within two days of each other

No idea who he is... I know Willie Mays the baseball player but that's it...

he is just some dude who annoyed the hell out of some of us with his commercials selling stupid shit (he did a very good job apparently of convincing some people the shit product was worth the money). Then he got his own tv show, along with some English dude (who also hocked stupid shit on-air) where we got to see the behind the scenes action of how to sell stupid shit to stupid people.

** That is not to say that I am making fun of his death. It sucks to die; from what I hear.

looks like Pitchmen will continue. Maybe they'll get someone to replace Billy? Maybe his son?
