I never heard of him before so I checked him out on youtube:

I wouldn't wish Billy Mays dead or anything, and I extend condolences to his family and friends. But if plugging OxiClean at anti-social volumes is a fair representation of his life's legacy, then why does he rate a thread? Possibly he had a greater cultural impact than I realise?

No, you've pretty much got the picture.

Tabler, this was like a year ago, where have you been?

It was just the ridiculousness of it that people thought was amusing. same reason people like Mr. T or Chuck Norris.

Also, this played a large part http://www.youtube.com/user/Jabo0odyDubs

RIP DIO

I just read this about ten min. ago, I had no Idea he died. He was a true legend and pioneer in metal. Even though he he is gone His music will keep him alive forever.

Yes, bands like Black Sabbath and Rainbow . I heard it was stomach cancer . I liked Dio because he looked the part, not like a lot of Metal bands that look more glam and hair.

Gary Coleman died of some kind of different stroke.

RIP but he was scary. He reckoned the character he played in Blue Velvet matched his own closer than anything he'd played before...

Tony Curtis, the veteran Hollywood actor, passed away on Wednesday 29th September. He was 85. He claimed that he sought stardom for the sake of the money and the girls, showing a certain refreshing honesty about his louche and hedonistic lifestyle which you have to respect, even if you disapproved of the man himself, as many people did. Yet there was also a warm and compassionate side to his nature, revealed for example in his efforts to promote the welfare of horses. He was also a gifted painter, whose canvases sell for very high prices.

Despite his own sardonic assessment of his career choice, he was a natural actor who will be long remembered for a number of critically acclaimed performances. He was particularly notable for his role opposite Burt Lancaster in the superb noir Sweet Smell of Success, for playing the white racist escaped convict Joker Jackson in The Defiant Ones and Joe/Josephine in the great comedy Some Like It Hot. There are a number of other good films in his filmography: his job was to entertain the audience and he was very good at his job.

RIP Tony Curtis.

Lisa Blount passed this past week on October 27th. If the name doesn't sound familiar...she played opposite Debra Winger in Officer and a Gentleman. Yep that's right the disgusting girlfriend who faked being pregnant to get the guy to marry her. Lisa Blount was only 53....way too young.
