RIP Billy Mays
He was the best sales pitchman of our time. He advertised freaking Oxiclean detergent. A great American hero, he did not deserve to die at the age of 50. We will all miss him.
RIP Billy Mays (1958-2009)

It's more of Alka being "We are NOT going to mourn Micheal Jackson"

It's like you're reading my mind or something!
And I don't see a Billy Mays memorial anywhere, do you?

Re: RIP Billy Mays
Could it be because he's just a TV salesman...?

He's just a TV salesmen but television in the states have been so inundated with his ridiculously bad, and yet so recognizable form of pitching a product. He's taken on a cult status.

Re: RIP Billy Mays
So he gets recognition for being bad? i dont see a difference between him getting tons of time on TV and the internet and MJ getting the same thing. They both suck at what they do, and get recognition for it.

Re: RIP Billy Mays
You all can go cry in a pity corner over MJ, but Billy Mays was an idol! He was a great Salesman, but his preferred job was a Pitchman, where he would show a product that some NORMAL person made and hope to sell. Like the Dual Action Saw.. Watch Pitchmen, and you'll see. MJ may have been the King of Pop, and created his own dance moves, but still.. he had too much of a bad reputation to really deserve a memorial.

Vince Offer, whose only claims to fame were his "You're gonna love my nuts" line on the Slap Chop commercial and being arrested for punching a hooker.

The ShamWow fellow is even less talented than Mays, and hardly does as much work.
Here they are duking it out, offering similar products:
Offer Shlomi (his real name, he's from Israel) is a comedian and writer, who came out with a huge flop in 1999: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Underground_Comedy_Movie
