Billy Mays was one of the most charismatic and funniest salesman around and he sold some pretty decent products.
Its shocking and sad to see him die.

He wasn't so much a celebrity as a really loud salesman.

Re: The billy mays guarantee is no more.
we knew who he was, I think that's enough, you doesn't have to be appealing to be a celebrity.

I had the theory that the classic celebrities were getting to the decade where they just died of old age and illness
But then Troy Dixon...

Or to be human? Being a celebrity does not sheild you from things like heart attacks, kidney failure and old age. People die everyday. Yes, when someone from the media has died unexpectedly, it's shocking and sad. When a celebrity has gone public and died from a life illness it's sad. Grieve and post and do what you need to do. Just stop acting as if death never should have touched someone you've immortalized in your heads.
P.S This post is not directed at you, Frog. I know your post was in jest. I'm just sick of seeing WOE IS *insert celebrity here* WHY OH WHY THEY NEVER SHOULD HAVE DIED.
People, I can promise you, if you live long enough you will see many, many celebrities you grew up with pass away.

Re: The billy mays guarantee is no more.
Just think of it this way though. When the celebs you love pass on, it gives room for new talent who you could love just as much.

Or crappy talent that you always compare to the original and they never live up to.

Re: The billy mays guarantee is no more.
It also gives me another historical marker for the period before I was 2 decades old. In fact, for the most part a lot of those markers are entirely contained within the second decade of my life.
Now, imagine, when I'm 80, I'll be able to say the following happened, in no particular order, in the first 2 decades of my life:
And the list continues to grow. I'm gonna feel freakin' oooold
Now, imagine, when I'm 80, I'll be able to say the following happened, in no particular order, in the first 2 decades of my life:
- The Twin Towers collapsed
- George Bush's presidency
- The first black US president
- Hurricane Katrina
- Michael Jackson died
- Both creators of Dungeons & Dragons died
- George Carlin died
- The Millenium Dome opened and closed
- Woolworths collapsed
- Wikipedia and Google were founded
And the list continues to grow. I'm gonna feel freakin' oooold

Yet, at least Billy Mays looked healthy. MJ wasn't as much of a surprise to me.

What the fuck are you on about? He's simply stating that an unusually high number of well-known people have been dying lately, he's not saying that it makes no sense how the people who got to bathe in Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth are suddenly dying of seemingly natural causes. Stop looking for someone to explode at and channel your anger elsewhere.

I did. That doesn't make the fact that Siobhan quoted your post and used it as a catalyst to go on a rant about how we glorify celebrities as more than people any less obnoxious.

Remember that time on Unskippable when the pot called the kettle black? That was funny... Just thought I'd bring that up for no relevant reason whatsoever...

Aww, good thing I'm in a country where I'm allowed to voice an opinion on a subject matter! I don't care what you think about my posts, Nevrmore. It's not likely that I ever will, either.
