Why? He contributed nothing to society, besides making people want to buy a cleaning product that hardly even works.

I found him to be quite entertaining overall and now cannot look forward to a lifetime of great commercials for bad products.

Jun 28, 2009 15:16:12 This sucks, Mays was an icon in advertising. And just like Jackson, he was only 50; pretty young. At least Fawcett was 62.

you mean his stuff was actually good? I thought he just screamed about the product he wanted you to buy over and over and over. OXYCLEAN! IT MAKES YOUR WHITES WHITER, AND YOUR BRIGHTS BRIGHTER! OXYCLEAN! OXYCLEAN! OXYCLEEEEEAAAAAN!!!

Better than MJ's stuff.

Michael Jackson made some really good music: and music is always better than random yelling about a product. He didn't even scream, he just yelled. See, some music that is pretty good has scream vocals in it. So, to say that he screamed would be putting him up hyah -------

when his commercials were really down hyah -------

he just shouted and yelled.

Michael Jackson made some really good music

And that is a matter of opinion because I think that all he really accomplished was the making of a few mildly OK songs.

turalisj
Jun 28, 2009 15:34:08 Same.

And Billy Mays didn't just shout and yell about a product. There's this thing in acting and singing called projecting your voice, which is what he was doing.
#20
Mechalibur
Jun 28, 2009 15:36:46 Maybe I'd care more if he were projecting a little less loudly (he comes off as annoying when he's that loud), and maybe didn't lie about the product he was advertising. (OxiClean. Does. Not. Work.)

Jun 29, 2009 2:16:49 One of my friends said he's going to buy a can of Kaboom in salute to Mays.

I wasn't a huge fan of Mays. Now, Vince, scuz that he may be, can sell a product. Mays just made me mute the TV.

HOW DARE YOU. HE HAD A VOICE RELATED MEDICAL CONDITION. HE SUFFERRED FROM VOICE IMMODULATION. HE WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE PITCH AND VOLUME OF HIS VOICE. ALSO KNOWN AS VAN HORTON'S SYNDROME, VI IS A RECOGNIZED PSYCHO-MEDICAL CONDITION WHICH YOU MAY HAVE READ ABOUT IN NEWSWEEK OR CRACK MAGAZINE. NUMEROUS PROMINENT AMERICANS SUFFER FROM THIS DEBILITATING DISEASE MECHALIBUR, INCLUDING THE GUY WHO PLAYED RODGE ON "WHAT'S HAPPENING" AND TENNIS GREAT PETE SAMPRAS.

Jun 29, 2009 11:57:26 I liked billy mays a lot. he was very iconic. If you watched his show 'pitchmen' he was pretty much the brains behind the selling of the product and pricing. The guy was a selling mastermind. He will be missed. For some reason i actually enjoyed his infomercials, i don't know what it is about him, but i had a hard time switching channels.

I'm wearing my Blue shirt today in honor of his passing.

EDIT: oxyclean really IS an amazing product btw
