BILLY MAYS HERE......or not :/

I hope this isn't legit....but I'm seeing it all over the place.

I was browsing the chan of four and kept seeing the whole 'goodnight sweet prince' thing for Mays. They do that once in a while to troll people but it was taking over almost every thread on /b/ so I did some searching. Even his Wiki has been updated to include his death (though I know Wiki is sometimes unreliable) If it is a hoax then holy crap people need some better hobbies. I'm gonna miss him yelling at us all from the t.v.

Not a good week to be famous @_@ Ed Mcmahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and now Billy mays @_______________@



EDIT
Ok, it's official. It's on the Yahoo front page now. It's almost disturbing that I found out via four chan first ~_~

damn all these icons dieing and they are all around 50! WTF?!

that is sad I liked billy mays!

[wondersaiyan]

Yeah, my mom and I kinda liked him at first (though she hated the oxiclean cuz it made her feet burn ) But we both started to get annoyed with how often we got shouted at whenever we were watching t.v.

IT'S MESSED UP... SERIOUSLY MESSED UP. ALL THESE CULTURAL ICONS, AND NOW THE BEST ONE OF ALL...

ALL-CAPS DAY IN HIS HONOR.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT... HE WAS AWESOME...

AT LEAST WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME REGRET AS OFTEN HAPPENS WITH ICONS WHO DIE. WHERE YOU DON'T REALLY TALK ABOUT THEM UNTIL THEY DIE, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU TALK ABOUT HOW GREAT THEY WERE OR QUOTE THEM.

BILLY MAYS, WE ALREADY QUOTED HIM ALL THE TIME, IMITATED HIM OFTEN, AND KNEW HE WAS AWESOME. HE WAS LOVED BY ALL OF US ALREADY, AND AMIDST THAT LOVE HE TOOK FLIGHT. STILL STRONG AND LOUD, RATHER THAN OLD AND GRAY AND RASPY.

ISN'T THAT THE BEST WAY TO GO? AS THE MAN WE LOVED AND WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIM AS. NOT AS A WASH-OUT THAT WE FONDLY MISS, BUT AS A STANDING ICON WHO WILL STAND (AND SHOUT) FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS.

[wondersaiyan]

IT IS INDEED ALL CAPS DAY! R.I.P. BILLY! HAVE FUN SHOUTING ON THE OTHER SIDE CUZ THAT'S THE POWER OF.........ER.....BILLY MAYS! I ONLY GOT TO SEE ONE EPISODE OF HIS DISCOVERY CHANNEL SHOW. HE WAS DEFINITELY AN IN-YOUR-FACE KIND OF GUY, BUT NOT IN A BAD WAY.

In heaven, all was peaceful and quiet. Until suddenly the pearly gates were flung open, and a strong voice called out, "HI, BILLY MAYS HERE!!!"

REST IN PEACE YOU GLORIOUS BEARDED WONDER.

WE ALL KNOW THAT IT WAS GEORGE ZIMMER WHO SECRETLY SLIPPED CYANIDE IN YOUR ORANGE GLO. HAVE NO FEAR. I'VE SENT VINCE AFTER HIM WITH A SLAP-CHOP. HE'LL LOVE HIS NUTS.

[ForeverZeroUltima]

Okay, I've had a day to grieve.

RIP BILLY MAYS. YOU WERE AN ICON TO ME. SEEING INFOMERCIALS ON TV WILL NEVER BE THE SAME TO ME EVER AGAIN.

remixed: Lol @ "BFM"

[wondersaiyan]

I do have a theory on why this happened.........













































































It was VINCE!

[remixedcat]

OMG VINCE I'M GONNA KILL YOU! I GOT ANOTHER DEATH NOTE!

[AltruisticCrono]

My question was answered a few days ago... Since he's kinda no longer here, I wondered if they'd pull all of his commercials / advertising?

Guess not... the Awesome Auger is slightly less awesome now... and mostly creepy.
