Billy Mays, the television pitchman known for his boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean, has died, according to police in Tampa, Fla. He was 50.

There's no joke here. Let's all mourn Billy Mays as he was famous "celebrity", most noted for his yelling on television.

R.I.P Billy Mays.

Perfect, but loud, voice. He was actually a generous man from what I heard.

NOOOOOOOOO! What the HECK??? What is with all these celebrity deaths lately??? I am truly sad about this. Man... he was an icon! I am more sad about this than Jackson actually. He will be missed.

My friends and I think someone has a Deathnote Journal If you get the reference, +100.

I personally couldn't stand his voice, but that's not to say he wasn't good at what he did. He was very good considering he's on 90% of the infomercials at night. Sad that he died so young(I consider 50 young at this day in age).

That's sad and weird that he died at 50! Now if he died of heart failure it would truly be strange.

Billy Mays isn't here anymore .

THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT TO ME THAN THE DEATH OF MICHAEL JACKSON.

I'm deeply saddened. I'll go buy some oxy clean in his honor.

Also, RIP OxyClean guy. Kinda weird that he was the same age as MJ, and died only a few days later.

I joined the group as well, he was one of the coolest people ever. Anyone else besides me love his show Pitchmen? I guess that's one show that's going to be cut short.

Out of all the deaths recently, this one saddens me the most.

RIP Billy Mays.

My favorite television salesman and one of my favorite shows (Pitchmen). This one saddens me the most (more so than MJ and I was pretty upset over that).

RIP Billy Mays.

My dad was telling me Billy landed in Tampa and the landing gear snapped, luggage hit him in the head. Wonder if it is a similar to what happened to Denise Richards some sort of internal bleed.

"THIS IS BILLY MAYS FOR THE MIGHTY COFFIN!!" he would so do this if a ghost could get on camera.

Here's hoping for another celebrity death soon. *glares at Britney Spears, then at Lindsey Lohan.*

But seriously. This sucks. Who's gonna yell at us on TV except for (ew) Vince Shlomi? Did you know he almost got his tongue bit off by a prostitute once? What a noob.

But you need to get into jail if you want to assassinate him!
Therefore he bought a Hooker for $1,000, got his tongue bitten during a kiss and got into a fight, now he's been jailed for a few years...
