Now Billy Mayes is dead?

Post by Der Kommissar »

I guess bad things do happen in three's. First Ed McMahon, Farah, Michael, and now Billy? Oh wait, that's four. Doh! RIP to the infomercial king.

he was on that flight in florida (i think) that blew out a tire during landing.... or something like that on saturday. from an interview he did with local news, i guess he was hit in the head by stuff that was falling from the ceiling. apparently he felt alright at the time, but went to bed not feeling well that night, and never woke up the following morning. he must've had some type of head trauma.
