R.I.P. Billy Mays
> Posted by Kathy Bushouse on June 29, 2009 08:06 AM

His untimely death at 50 didn't take over cable news and the Internet like Michael Jackson's did Thursday, but that doesn't mean Billy Mays -- the celebrity pitchman who sold OxiClean, Orange Glo and countless other products -- doesn't deserve his own Watch This Now tribute.

Here are two of my favorites.

First, the Billy Mays blooper reel:

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

Second, Billy Mays at the McDonald's drive-thru as part of a morning show stunt. What a good sport.

I bet he had a brain bleed from the hit on the head. I know too many people and stories about the same situation. Hit on head by something and within a month or just days, they die. Get checked out at the hospital if you hit your head.......... Mandatory people..... http://billymayes.blogspot.com/
