DEATH OF A SALESMAN by Mullah Omar	Jun 29th, 2009 11:28:36 AM
Billy Mays was probably the only TV pitchman I ever saw that came off as a truly decent guy. Reading up on him now, it's clear that he was also a total pro who really cared about his craft - and I never thought I'd considered salesmanship a "craft", but this guy was so good that he made me reconsider.
Damn people by Blade_Runner	Jun 29th, 2009 11:28:52 AM
Get over the McMahon thing. Did you not read the end of the article? AICN screwed the pooch. Get over it.
Now has product cleaning pearly gates! by Rolling_Stone	Jun 29th, 2009 11:29:27 AM
Billy Mays here....Step a little closer Saint Joe and let me show you something that will clean and protect the pearly gates and make them shine like they were when you first came through. Cleans not just pearl but brass on the harps and gold on the halo's look so shiny even Christ the Lord will claim it is a miracle. Order now and we'll double the offer so you can send it to your Jewish friends so they can try it over in Jew Heaven. But you have too order now!

"Please, let's try not dilute memories of Billy in this Talkback by hammering AICN about failing to note Ed McMahon's passing last week. The omission was a failure on our part, pure and simple. We fucked up." Dilute the memories of Billy? WTF? He was a late night pitch man. He's not an actor. Man this site has gotten so fuckin lame.
If you truly feel so bad about no Ed McMahon Talkback then creat by DrunkenBusboy	Jun 29th, 2009 11:38:42 AM
It's never too late to create one. I also believe it won't cost you any money. Jesus, Ed had more relevance and influence on the TV medium than Mr. Mays ever had or will. According to my parents my first words were Budweiser due to his commercials back in the late 60's. My mother bought Alpo for our dog simply because Ed would plug it on the tonight show. Give Ed some love!
Anyone know where the Sham Wow guy.. by Alkeoholic77	Jun 29th, 2009 11:39:22 AM
was during the time of the death? I bet he's behind it and the police showed up before he could Slap Chop his body.

Do you people really think his family and friends care if there is a post on Aint it Cool News about his death? Do you think a site like this even matters to a family who has lost someone? Christ, they didn't think to write a couple of paragraphs about someone who passed away, it's not the New York Fucking Times.

thousands of people die in USA! by babblerouser	Jun 29th, 2009 11:49:39 AM
yup..happens all the time. Seriously, all this celebrity worship might be coming to an end with the overwhelming stupidity at the amount of focus for a pretty blond, an old sidekick, and a washed up pop singer. Cap and Trade bill gets passed in the house last week, yet another nail in the coffin of what was America. That will impact everyone who reads this living in the US if passed in the senate, but all the dumb masses get is what they deserve...
No longer powered by the air we breathe by RKDN	Jun 29th, 2009 11:50:08 AM
Viewers of Pitchmen came to know Billy Mays as a genuine guy. A mench. He wasn't putting on a role in his commercials - he was just being himself dialed up to eleven. And he personally used and endorsed every product he pitched. If it sucked, he didn't pitch it. Thus passes a really nice human being.

When someone of no importance whatsoever dies we just love to know. Sure it's sad he had a family but LET THEM DEAL WITH THIS. Why is it any of our business? Why the fuck does AICN report on this? It's not even like he was a cult actor or something. He was an insanely annoying pitchman for products that don't work so once again, why is this news?

Billy Mays deserves a talkback... by xXxJamiexXx	Jun 29th, 2009 11:57:39 AM
And let me tell you why. This site covers all things tv and movie related so yes Mr, Mays does fit in as he was a tv personality. It has covered reality tv before and you cannot tell me this site only caters to actors because if you can call even a percentage of those scumbags involved "actors" in that trivial bullshit you are clearly off your fucking rocker. As for those who complain in this talkback about Ed McMahn show some fucking respect. Yes he did die unfortunately and he did deserve a talkback but don't complain about it in the one for this guy. Because it is the epitomy of douchebaggedness to do such a thing. You probably wont be considering the type of person you are if you are low enough to do such a thing but you should feel deeply ashamed of yourselves.
So correct the goddamn omission! by Harry Weinstein	Jun 29th, 2009 11:59:16 AM
Seriously, what the fuck is the matter with you guys? Just put up a brief "In Memoriam: Ed McMahon" post, talkback attached. Better late than never. You can waste space on Script Girl (for the love of Christ, get rid of that garbage already), but not Ed? Fuck that shit.

and this Billy Mays thing is messed up. He's tweeting and then dead. It sounds like the same thing that happened to Natasha Richardson. Why they're trying to say it's something else is beyond me. He got hit on the head went home and died. I mean I know they want to take blame away from the airline but how convenient is that? He got hit in the head but coincidentally went home and died of heart disease? Come on.

I always loved seeing his commercials. When they first came on, I thought for sure he was the inventor of Oxi-Clean and Orange-Glo. I hope this TB can stay classy. Come on AICN, let's give it a try.
you missed a lot of people who died last week... by jofex	Jun 29th, 2009 12:18:52 PM
... none of whom have anything to do with AICN's usual topic list. Maybe the real idea is to create a sight that hilights passing of notable people of all interests and accomplishments. Oh wait- New York Times Sunday obits has that covered!
This guy isn't even a celebrity! by rfid	Jun 29th, 2009 12:22:09 PM
Are you kidding me? This guy's not a celebrity--he's a fucking salesman, for crying out loud. A salesman--that's it. Not anyone of importance, and certainly not anyone worth mentioning on an entertainment fan site. I'm sorry he died, just as I would be sorry that anyone died, but really--what does that have to do with AICN? What the hell is going on with this site lately? Who's running the show? Why are you even mentioning this guy's death? I fail to see the relevance to entertainment. Are you going to start celebrating the deaths of lawyers, grocery store clerks and pool cleaners as well? A salesman? Seriously? For fuck's sake, guys.

xXxJamiexXx by rfid	Jun 29th, 2009 12:28:01 PM
The point is, this site SHOULDN'T be covering so-called reality TV. Reality TV is the infomercial of entertainment--it's no more intelligent or entertaining than the crappy, annoying Oxi Clean ads this late pitchman put together. This site used to be about cool news, but somehow, it has become very diluted by the completely pointless addition of articles about the shit that is reality TV--and, apparently, now about the even shittier shit that is infomercials. It's unreal.

Damn, those secret-keeping ninjas have been busy! by ebonic_plague	Jun 29th, 2009 12:28:38 PM
Carradine must have been about to uncover some nefarious Ra's Al Ghul-type plot with the help of Billy Mayes, Ed, Farrah and MJ, and after silencing the whistle blowers, now the Foot clan is tying up the last few loose ends. I bet Corey Feldman will go all Rorschach on the washed-up celeb-killer theory. But at least they didn't lash Billy to his willy and stuff him in a closet.

Repost: The tragedy of Billy Mays by ViolentN8	Jun 29th, 2009 12:30:24 PM
Is that he spent his whole life working. First just learning his trade then as he plied said trade as a young man, he lost his first marriage to his craft just trying to provide for his initial attempt at a family. I like that he had his son working with him and seemed to have a good relationship with his father. I hope that (being as successful as he was) he had more time to share with his new wife and adorable daughter. I hope he rests fulfilled with the life he lived and that his family keep his memory close. He seemed very genuine and vital. He will be missed. tldr; I hope Billy Mays lived a life he was happy with. RIP Billy Mays PS Fuck that ShamWOW Dick. In the Butt.

It's Not to Late for an Ed McMahon Talkback by kevinwillis.net	Jun 29th, 2009 12:32:47 PM
Just saying. R.I.P., Billy Mays. The Michael Jackson of direct telemarketing. The odd thing is, I associate him the the Sham-Wow, but I don't think he ever sold the Sham-Wow. He did sell Oxi-Clean, though, didn't? Or Oxi-something.

Uh...you completely missed the point of why I posted those names. I wasn't saying dead soldiers SHOULD be covered here...my point was that a dead salesman is not relevant to AICN, any more than dead soldiers would be. You douche.
rfid, at first I thought that was a list of all obits over... by FlickaPoo	Jun 29th, 2009 12:47:15 PM

A Talkback? For Billy Mays? by Hervoyel	Jun 29th, 2009 12:49:41 PM
Billy Mays died. So what? Who outside of some people who actually knew him cares? Why don't you just go through the obituaries and fire up a page for every motherfucker who died today and then repeat that until the end of time? Look, Billy Mays sold stuff on the television. If he "touched you" in some manner I pity your empty world because he was about as significant in most peoples lives as that guy who stands outside the titty bar in the French quarter of New Orleans handing out cards advertising the next show when Kitten Vuvlanonich is going to blow bubbles with her vagina. In this day and age you would think that above any other website online this one would know that the act of appearing on television does not make you a celebrity, noteworthy, or even talented.
rfid, point made. by Flyingcircus	Jun 29th, 2009 12:50:01 PM
Oh, okay. I'm the asshole. Please continue your liberal use of the cut-n-paste tool. We're all enjoying it.

Shut the fuck up. Who cares about them?? Were they entertaining TV personalities...? NO! If they were, then they would be on AICN. Douche.
This is a lot sadder then those other three by Series7	Jun 29th, 2009 01:01:50 PM
Those other three, while sad, could have been seen coming for a while now. Billy was just about to be mega huge with Taco Bell, and his show was a lot of fun. On one episode they showed him, his dad and one of his sons. And I was thinking how old his dad was and how we will be seeing a lot of Billy for a long time.

Series7 by rfid	Jun 29th, 2009 01:13:51 PM
Get over yourself. I've done nothing worth being banned over--merely expressed my opinion that it's ridiculous that AICN is making such a big deal out of the death of this non-celebrity, when thousands more die every day.
Billy Mays - yes, Ed McMahon - of course not! by BillboeFett	Jun 29th, 2009 01:14:05 PM
So we get the Billy Mays sendoff, but not Ed McMahon. Ed McMahon, the sidekick of Johnny Carson on the tonight show for what.. 40 years or something? The host of Star Search, etc... vs. a loud Oxyclean pitchman who also pitched a few other products. On any other website, this would be ridiculous. on AICN, it fits.
Totally irrelevant by Zandunga	Jun 29th, 2009 01:14:48 PM
Give me a break. Look - it's a shame when anyone dies...I'm sorry for the guy's family and I'm sure those who knew him are sad to see him go. But what the hell is this doing at AICN news??? Exercise some restraint guys, not every death of a semi-celebrity out there needs to be covered here.
rfid by Series7	Jun 29th, 2009 01:18:49 PM
yeah I get that, but this is a website dedicated to all things entertainment. Billy Mays is part of that world. Wasn't like you went to Solider of Fortune's web city or something. I mean if thats your argument then why don't you call CNN up and tell them to stop running special reports about MJ since other people have died since then. And your just being a douche.

rfid by mad_taffer	Jun 29th, 2009 01:30:05 PM
Billy Mays was a celebrity because most people know who he is. He is on this site because of the Coaxial aspect and because of the show Pitchmen, which had just been renewed for a 2nd season. Apparently he drew a crowd at public appearances and signed autographs...like a celebrity. I don't get your hangup or why it angers you so much. Maybe it's because you know you will never be known for anything more than being a douche on AICN. RIP Billy Mays, thanks for making the beard cool again.
Series7 by rfid	Jun 29th, 2009 01:30:09 PM
Bill Mays is NOT part of the entertainment world. He was a salesman, nothing more. That was my whole point--the death of a salesman, while sad, is no more relevant to this site than the deaths of soldiers. Your comment about CNN completely misses my point--I'm NOT saying celebrity deaths shouldn't be covered on this site. I'm saying this guy wasn't really a celebrity--he was just an ad man. Why anyone would see him as part of the entertainment world, let alone a subject that should be covered on AICN, is beyond me.
Seriously? by Subtitles_Off	Jun 29th, 2009 01:30:23 PM
We're supposed to mourn this guy now, or we're bad people? Utterly ridiculous. P.S. BMac, I'm tore up about your dog, friend. That hurts. I'd go out on to the streets and burn a candle, but I only got three to a pack, and they're insisting I burn one for this dead pitchman dude.
AICN obits are pretty stupid. Its unneeded by BMacSmith	Jun 29th, 2009 01:30:43 PM
Obits should be posted only if its some guy you know, or if its some filmmaker who had a big impact on your life. why should you feel the need to post one for every single minor celebrity, or even major celebrity? i'd rethink this if i were you.
mad_taffer by rfid	Jun 29th, 2009 01:32:36 PM
Just because people know who someone is doesn't mean he's relevant to the entertainment world. Most people know who Osama Bin Laden is. Should this site start covering world news events? In any case, your last point is just stupid since you know nothing about me and have no idea what I do for a living, or if I'm someone you'd know by name. Perhaps I am.

Subs_off by ebonic_plague	Jun 29th, 2009 01:40:57 PM
You don't have to mourn anyone. And, judging from your posts, you won't, but will instead post repetitively about how ridiculous it is that you're being "forced" to show respect. But yeah, some people are going to take this opportunity to write sympathetic sentiments about a public figure that died. You should be grateful, as this allows you a platform to show how much you don't care. Everyone wins! Except Mayes.

One for the Angels by oisin5199	Jun 29th, 2009 01:52:10 PM
Does anyone remember that old Twilight Zone episode with Ed Wynn as a pitchman who tries to make the best pitch ever to Death, to save the life of a child? For some reason, I'm reminded of this. The guy may have been annoying, but he was a working stiff. An everyman on the television. So quit bitchin' whiners.
Series7 by rfid	Jun 29th, 2009 01:53:04 PM
I do know how popular he was--but not as someone in the entertainment world. He was a pitchman. Pitchmen are not entertainment. They're advertising. I work in editorial and advertisement, so I'm well aware of who he was. But he was not an entertainment celebrity. When push comes to shove, he's just a well-known encyclopedia salesman.

rfid by mad_taffer	Jun 29th, 2009 02:00:59 PM
Look dude, he was someone that a lot of people liked, what about his skits on the late night talk shows? He did become a celebrity from doing nothing more than hocking products, but being able to get his own tv show means he was more than that. Also, do you think a chain like Taco Bell would hire him if he was a nobody that nobody cared about. As for my 2nd response about you, that's general psychology. If you are an important person with self esteem, you would not need to get on a website and make fun of other people just to get noticed.

Hey_Kobe_Tell_Me_How_My_Ass_Tast es by rfid	Jun 29th, 2009 02:44:05 PM
Wow...congratulations, you've COMPLETELY missed the point of why I posted the lists. I wasn't making any military statements or honoring the dead, and I'm amazed that THAT is what you came away with. As it happens, I'm very much NOT in favor of the military, and would be the last person to go about making pro-military political statements since I believe the U.S. military is currently engaged in illegal wars. But that's irrelevant. I used those lists because they were the easiest lists of non-famous people I could find online. But again, good job completely missing my point--well done. Series7...dude, why would someone be jealous of a guy who spent his life hawking products? No, thank you. I'm not trying to disrespect the guy--as I have already said, I am sorry he died. But I just...ah, never mind, there's no point in my continuing this point. It's already done to death. Mr. Mays, I hold no ill will against you and am sorry you died. If there are people here who considered you a celebrity whose death was relevant to an entertainment fan site, than who am I to say otherwise? Rest in peace.
benito by rfid	Jun 29th, 2009 02:45:33 PM

You really are such a loser that you have no hope or expectation of getting a response because you feel so pathetic (and you are) that you can't imagine anyone would pay attention to you. So you post ignorant shit and check forlornly hoping against hope that someone might respond, and lo and behold, your most fervent wet dream have been answered! Now that someone did, it makes your ass wet.

BMacSmith, calm down by ebonic_plague	Jun 29th, 2009 03:16:24 PM
You think it's retarded to run an obit for a television personality-- fine, your complaint is registered in the annals of talkback history. But understand, many of us think it's equally, if not more, retarded that you're in here repeatedly complaining about the decision to run an obit for Billy Mayes. And, being a talkback, the fact that you're SHOCKED that someone would criticise your pointless criticism is, well, retarded. But, then, maybe this is less to do with Mayes' obit, and more about your stated desire to have guys taste your ass. Good luck with that.

He'd spent most of his life on the road, working hard to earn a living. He wasn't given a billion dollar empire, this guy earned every penny the hard way. Though he got divorced from his first wife, he did reconnect with their son who seems like a real nice as hell guy. He worked as a grip for Sully but is now directing. He's got that same Mays work ethic. He's good people.

I will type slow so you can understand. There are mulitple TB's on this site. Do either of you post in all of them? Most of them? Half of them? Do you post in TB's that are of absolutely zero interest to you? Then why the fuck would you post in an Obit that you have no interest in other than seeing your name come up and having someone respond? You are simply trying to draw attention to yourselves. Ok, you don't like Billy Mays. Dtay the fuck out of the TB. No one is forcing you to post. If it is no interest ignore it! and rfid, posting military names, especially when you said yourself that you think the war is illegal, is damn sure a political statement. Whether you are too retarded to understand that, is another matter.

Why do you care? Obviously there are those of us that did feel he made his mark in society. How many pitchmen aside from Mays can you name? How many actually had a reality show based around them and their technique that did well enough (because I dunno, I guess people liked it), to not only get a 2nd season but also got him a gig with Taco Bell (if that is not Americana I don't know what is). The website is AintitCOOL and that is what I thought Mr. Mays was, cool. What you are doing in here, purposely trying to stir up negative comments is the opposite of that. Get a life.

He and Mays both seemed like nice people and i hope the best for their families, but they werent 'legends'. Doesnt that sound condescending to you? save the write-ups for dead people you actually care about, dont cry fake tears and pretend to be in mourning everytime some guy on TV croaks. it makes you look like an asshole.

You know, I was going to make a point about the purpose of AICN and talkback itself, but I've ceased to care. RIP Billy Mayes is the only thing left to say. Except for one thing... you register a name like that and expect that we're just going to let it pass WITHOUT mockery? And where's Subs_Off to point out the irony?
The only reason this guy has an obit on this site by RobotKing	Jun 29th, 2009 03:45:33 PM
is to dispell the overreaction that our (pop) culture had to the death of Michael Jackson. It is sad that people die, but Billy Mays is no better than Michael Jackson who is no better than Neda from Iran who is no better than Joe/Jospehine Blow who died anonymously in a gutter somewhere in anywhere USA. Get over it. I'm dying in a cancer ward this minute, and all you people are worshipping millionaires. God help you all!

I didn't even know this guy's name until he appeared on Conan the other night. When I first heard about it, I thought Willie Mayes had died. Now that would've been newsworthy.
here's an obit for you, RobotKing by RKDN	Jun 29th, 2009 03:50:44 PM
today we mourn what is hoped to be a quick exit for RobotKing. Fans recall how he posted to talkbacks and basically said asinine things for attention, and generally contributed nothing to anything. at least he didn't show off his boobs every friday.
But, BMacSmith... by ebonic_plague	Jun 29th, 2009 03:51:06 PM
...who decides who is worthy of an AICN obit, then? Harry and Co? Talkbackers? Carradine gets one but not Billy Mayes? Why? Mayes is more recognizable to television viewers today, but Carradine's more of a fan-favorite among movie geeks. What sort of criteria qualifies or disqualifies someone? And what are these "standards" that AICN has you think are in jeopardy of being overrun by unwarranted obits? The same standards that brought us GONE and ScriptGirl? I think if you make the conscious decision to visit AICN you should know what to expect by now.
priceless. by palewook	Jun 29th, 2009 03:52:31 PM
aicn often overlooks obits for famous people or even people that contributed famously in the industry. yet when an infomercial shill dies, aicn covers it. lol.
Seriously??? by ScOttRa	Jun 29th, 2009 03:55:46 PM
Is AICN going to be "mourning" every two bit celeb who was ever lucky enough to be on tv? Will we get a special retrospective look at Paris Hilton or The Biggest Loser when their times come?

We're like the fucking Avengers!
I hate Salespeople by CrazyGnome	Jun 29th, 2009 04:01:08 PM

They have to convince themselves that they are also providing value to the world, and by making big money (that they do) is some type of validation. Wake up, you are an over paid trash man. Society can survive with out you, and would be better off.

RON POPEIL IS AN AMATEUR COMPARED TO BILLY by AyatollahSexyBack	Jun 29th, 2009 04:03:13 PM
Billy talked to you directly. Popeil relied on fake audiences, fake hostesses, editing tricks and multipayment schemes and hyperinflated handling charges that would have you paying 2 to 3 times more than if you bought his POS at Walmart. With Billy, you spent $19.95 plus reasonable handling charges.

Father Geek here to let everyone know that the great Gale Storm has passed on. Harry and I met her at a autograph show back in '79 and she was the warmest, most generous person you can ever imagine. I actually never watched My Little Margie, but I caught The Gale Storm Show when it was called O Suzannah in syndication, and I always had a warm spot for Ms. Storm.

Lohithadas was only 54 years old and died unexpectedly. Prayers and condolences to his family.

Sad news coming out of Korea: Yu Hyun-mok has died.... by CerebralAssassin	Jun 29th, 2009 04:28:50 PM
Hey folks, Capone here with some blisteringly sad news to report. Yu Hyun-mok, the legendary South Korean filmmaker, is pushing up the daisies. I remember the first time I saw Yu's work was at the Chicago Underground Film Festival back in 2003 when a pristine print of Yetnal Yetjeok-e, Hweo-oi Hweo-i was screened to universal adulation. Yu was there for a Q&A afterwards and to bask in the applause of the appreciative audience. It was a moment I'll never forget. Godspeed Master Yu. You were truly my favorite South Korean filmmaker born in 1925.

The guy came from nothing..and through sheer will, determination and hard fucking work rose to the top of his game. People the world over know Billys face and his products. The guy took the infomercial and made it more than just a boring demonstration with a canned audience...he made it an event, a spectacle. For $19.95 the guy fucking changed lives...for the better. How many of you can say that?

Just a comment and question by dogrobber	Jun 29th, 2009 06:12:40 PM
I enjoyed Mr. Mays 'Pitchmen' show and was both surprised, then moderately sorry, to hear of his passing. Question - and please don't take offense but I genuinely don't understand the following taken from the write up; 'But the Discovery Channel's television series PITCHMEN, not surprisingly, Mays to have been so much more.' I'm not trying to be a smart-alec, but what does that mean?

Some of Billy's products by DennisMM	Jun 29th, 2009 06:33:11 PM
were crap. OxyClean onlyh worked if you let it sit for ten hours, in a much stronger concentration than expected. Some were misguided - Awesome Augur needed a bit more juice than some household drills offered. But he did his job, tried to make the products inexpensive, and sold a lot of material for a lot of inventors and marketers. He was a loud bastard, but I hear he was a nice guy.
dogrobber by DennisMM	Jun 29th, 2009 06:35:39 PM
The sentence was supposed by to, so far as I can figure, 'But the Discovery Channel's television series PITCHMEN, not surprisingly, [shows] Mays to have been so much more.' It's far from a perfect sentence, but at least it makes sense, now.

Guys, AICN isn't just a film site. If you think it is, you must have missed the articles about comic books, and tabletop and video games. This is an entertainment news site. He may have been a salesman at heart, but Billy Mays was on TELEVISION and was a minor celebrity because of it. To the guy who posted the list of dead soldiers... get over it. This isn't Ain't It War News. People like you aren't happy unless we're all walking around with the goddamn Vietnam Memorial tattoo'd on our foreheads. We get it, soldiers died. We respect their sacrifice. News of it is already posted where it is appropriate. THANK YOU. And yes, AICN did fuck up when they overlooked Ed McMahon.
'Scuse me? by mbeemer	Jun 29th, 2009 07:14:51 PM
Nothing personal against Mr. Mays, but... we're really lamenting the passing of a huckster? Everything he sold was crap product designed to generate profits from the non-refundable shipping and handling. In essence, he was a con-man. A charming con-man, perhaps - maybe even a nice con-man, but a con-man nonetheless. (Is it really so offensive to state the obvious?)
If we're going to complain by DennisMM	Jun 29th, 2009 07:29:06 PM

We've had to endure enough over-hype of this NON-NEWS NON-EVENT on the other wasteful chunks of the electromagnetic spectrum that still pretend to call themselves news organizations. If you're gonna start posting about the death of every tabloid slime level of psuedo-celebrity on the homepage, I'll stop visiting this site altogether. We visit this slice of the media world as a respite from all the noise of pointless crap, the latest serial obsession.... now you're starting to follow the herd on this crap too? We're in a DV-R world, commercials are a relic of the past. This fuck was a nobody. I'd honestly never even heard of this fuck until yesterday. I wish I could've kept it that way. But no, all of you gossiping turds with nothing better to do have turned this fuck into some sort of psuedo celebrity. Unless AiCN is going to turn into a fucking obituary section if you keep this up. Who's next? "AiCN mourns the loss of Bobby Slackpenis from Big Brother 3 (UK).... breaking news... AiCN regrets to inform you that the guy in the purple shirt who spilled a beer in the 3rd row at Wrigley Field during a Cubs/Reds game broadcast on ESPN in 1993 has succumbed to his battle with toenail fungus" ???

It's rather subjective whether you choose to post memorials about McMahon, or other celebrities, but even in the age of the internet, where 15 minutes get doled out all too easily, one thing I do know is that a pitchman such a Mays who created nothing, wasn't an entertainer, and generally had nothing to do with good movies and TV gets a fucking memorial post. How far the standards for this site have fallen.
The reason Mays gets more respect than MJ by smackfu	Jun 30th, 2009 04:12:03 AM
is because the only thing he put his fingers in was a bowl of OxyClean.

The only 12 year old he ever molested was a bottle of Scotch
Mays who created nothing, wasn't an entertainer by smackfu	Jun 30th, 2009 04:17:50 AM
Oh, I think you'll find if you ask around that he has been a great source of entertainment for late night potheads. On a broader note, he was a TV personality who's face we all recognize, hence the nod is appropriate.

But no Ed McMahon!! Once again, fuck you guys. You guys suck. Ed would say to that "You are correct sir"

Johnny's sidekick, Ed produced so much stuff it isn't funny. He and Dick Clark's TVs bloopers in practical jokes were great. So he doesn't get one, but some dude who hawks detergent gets one. This is utter crap.

"Billy talked to you directly" by Subtitles_Off	Jun 30th, 2009 01:52:15 PM
It's called, copying Martha Stewart or Julia Childs or whoever else originated that schtick decades ago when they first filmed a pitchman and a product. Jebus. Jebus chrissy! The world lost such an innovator. No wonder we grieve!!

Jack Elam died before by Subtitles_Off	Jun 30th, 2009 02:05:29 PM
it was fashionable to wear faux-mourning like a charity ribbon. Besides, Jack Elam was actually a film icon. But, that "icon" word gets pissed around so much it hardly means anything any more. And, he never appeared in a Batman movie or one with cgi robots. As far as I know, he might never have appeared in anything produced for the direct entertainment of idiot twenty-somethings, so they might have missed news of his death altogether.

Thanks, man, Hope you're having a decent non celebrity death filled day
Mays passing is noteworthy because... by Hikaru Ichijo	Jun 30th, 2009 04:20:22 PM
he reinvented the television sales pitch by taking it back to basics. His style was a throwback to a simpler time and it was extremely effective. Anyone who comes here posting opinions in the hopes of appearing clever is pretty much falling on his/ her face because that is not how you approach Billy Mays or the function he performed. Even though he isn't a celebrity in a classic sense, he was on TV and at the top of his game. He is the first recognizable pitchman in over twenty years, and since everything we come to AICN for involves serious advertising, it is appropriate to mark the occasion of his death. Ed McMahon was clearly overlooked, but that another argument altogether.
WTF! by Subtitles_Off	Jun 30th, 2009 04:47:39 PM
Nobody semi-famous died today?!!? Lazy young Hollywood! STEP THE FUCK UP, SHIA! TMZ just announced that neither Jackson nor Rowe were biological parents of Blanket or his sister. And, since TMZ were first with the death scoop, we have to treat them like serious journalists now. I'd love to see Grandma Jackson dragged into court to answer the "who's the daddy?" question. Freak shows, like Billy Mays' facial hair, never die.

Subtitles_Off ... about Elam by leftofcentristdotcom	Jun 30th, 2009 10:58:01 PM
I think he died about 6 years ago. What bothered me at the time was they were reporting some really obscure deaths. Elam had more than 200 acting credits in his career and actually is a film icon - unlike so many others. I wrote to several AICN people and asked them to right the wrong. They all fell on deaf ears. I have a feeling they're doing the same with others regarding Ed McMahon.
