    This week has sucked so much. My morning was completely ruined because of this.

    R.I.P. Billy Mays. :(

    ....it's gotta be a hoax, right? I mean, right? 4 in one week???

    It's obviously a secret terrorist plot to kill our morale by wiping out our pop icons, one by one. Who's next? >___>

    Okay, but seriously, this has been a pretty bad streak of deaths. RIP Billy Mays; no one will be able to sell products by literally yelling at his audience like him ever again.

    No no no... the Shamwow one is the one who slapped his hooker around (his name is Vince Shlomi). The one who died was the one who yelled about OrangeGlo and Oxyclean:

    I actually just saw a few minutes of his pitchmen show today, is was pretty bad.
    Still a shame he passed so suddenly and so young, hope the family is doing okay.

    I liked Billy Mays, he seemed to possess a wide variety of knowledge and an eagerness to share it. I found his beard to be inexplicably disturbing and ultimately, he just knew far too much...
    Too bad it wasn't that sham WOW guy, what the hell is on his head anyway? His hair looks like it is hiding something akin to "Klingon" ridges. Is there a name for that hair cut? I declare it to be the next mullet.

    I know the difference between the two, I was more entreating God not to take Shamwow guy away from us too, since this seems to be the week of doom.

    Fred Travalena has died too.

    Now, I know many of you youngans will not know who he is. I remember him as a poor man's Rich Little.

    Geezus, they're dropping like flies.

    I have a spray bottle of OrangeGlo in my room I use for my desk. Everytime I look at it now, I get kinda sad.
    At least we can rest knowing that the Afterlife will soon be far cleaner than it ever was before.
