R.I.P. - Billy Mays

Another death I missed...

Billy Mays

He was loud, excited, and pitched for a few products on television, the most notable being OxyClean. I'm not normally fond of television pitchmen, but despite his loudness and assertiveness about the product, he seemed like a nice fellow. His enthusiasm seemed contagious and real.

It's just been a month of one television/film/entertainment loss after another, some classic, some more notable than others, and some so young.

Rest in peace, Mr. Mays.
