A Tribute To A True Genius



So I know it's overkill at this point, but it's worthy of a mention at least. The world (or at least Floridians) were shocked to learn that a 21st century icon passed away recently. Billy Mays, of OxiClean fame (amongst others), was found unresponsive at his Tampa home Sunday. I was actually a fan of his new show, Pitchmen, on Discovery Channel. His loud persona was easily recognizable to millions of people from his As Seen on TV products. Not trying to make light of the situation since we've recently experienced alot of tragedies recently, but this clip was found on YouTube. Just thought a little laughter might help. It's brilliant.

Oh and Tito (or was it Jermaine?) passed away, too, in case you haven't heard...

You got the wrong dude. It wasn't the Shamwow dude, it ws the oxyclean. Big guy with a full black beard, uses his hands a lot when he talks:www.myz99.com

I know this is the ShamWow Guy. It was meant as something funny cos he is also a As Seen on TV Guy and it was a parody of those type of commercials.

I don't know what else to say...
