NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Take MJ, Take Farrah Fawcett, but not Billy Mays!!

3

Things come in 4

Ed McMahon
Farrah Fawcett
Michael Jackson
Billy Mays

Interesting to see the most important people are dying last. Who will be next? Daniel Wherrett/DJ Dan?

+1

This is gonna affect me more than Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson combined. His commercials are always so funny!

Just like MJ, many will try to copy his style in the future but no one will come close.

:frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

RIP Mays, you’re the best pitchman who ever lived.

6

Especially for the one’s who died! :frowning:

7

Rest in peace.

To tell you the truth, this was the thread on the opening page for JC.

I thought it was going to be a billythemountain thread…

Dude, I’m friends with his nephew and niece. Honestly, this sucks big time.

9

Not to be rude or anything but who is he? An American tv star or something?

10

He’s an infomercial guy who can be seen on TV almost daily. He’s recognizable by almost every American. His Oxy Clean commercials are on all the time.

11

I’m not sure I’ve seen any of his infomercials, to be honest.

:o

12

…

Never?

13

x2

14

Never.

But it’s awesome how he yells everything! Seems like a cool guy indeed. Shame that we lost him before I even knew him…:frowning:

15

What’s with the ‘rape’ tag?

16

It has been a damn crazy week, makes you think. RIP Billy Mays.

17

This is getting pretty weird!

Do things like this really happen in three’s? [B]

First 3:
King of Las Vegas: Danny Gans
King of Kung Fu: David Carradine
King of late-night 2nd bananas: Ed McMahon

Second 3:
Queen of 70’s sex symbols: Farrah Faucet
King of Pop: Michael Jackson
King of Infomercials: Billy Mays[/B]

[U]We’re really in for a shock if things like this happen in GROUPS of three as well!

[/U] Third 3…???

RIP one and all! :frowning:

(RIP also to Tim Russert, but he passed away too long ago to be included in the mysterious three’s!)

18

Larry King and two other guys.:smiley: i’m joking

So far, just today, 105,129 people have died around the world. And there is still 9 hours to go.(my time)

19

So, you’re talking about a “Deadpool”? :stuck_out_tongue: Place your bets here!

Me too. None of them every made me turn the TV down or change channels instantly when I heard their voice.

But no one deserves to die for being annoying. Apparently he had an emergency landing in his airplane the day/night before? Maybe he was really stressed out and that was a contributor.

21

Holy cow I am soooo with you on this one! Whenever I heard that grating, screaming, UBER-annoying voice I had to immediately MUTE the TV! Almost made me physically ill when I heard his voice. John Tesh made me hurl as well. :astonished: Now John Phillips does has the same affect on me! He’s a local radio talk show host on Kabc 790. I love how he pronounces “because” as “Be-coys”. What a pretentious jerk who just loves the sound of his own voice. PUKE!
