TV pitchman Billy Mays found dead / What A Freaky Death Filled Week
May he too Rest In Peace..
and now the infomercial world is dominated by the annoying Sham Wow Vince, who’s most recent foray into the news was for biting the lips of a hired prostitute we talked about here a few months back.
Although it sure seems like he’s been around forever, he, like Michael Jackson, was only 50 years old and sure leaves this world far too soon.
Strangely enough he was involved in a rough US Airways plane landing in Florida just last night and was actually interviewed by a local Florida TV station as the flight landed shown here below:
U.S. Airways confirmed that Mays was among the passengers on a flight that made a rough landing Saturday afternoon at Tampa International Airport, leaving debris on the runway after apparently blowing its front tires.
Tampa Bay’s Fox television affiliate interviewed Mays after the landing. ”All of a sudden as we hit, you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping,” MyFox Tampa Bay quoted him as saying. ”It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head.”
It’s highly unlikely the two events are related, yet authorities are ruling nothing out since the death is such a surprise as he was returning from signing a long term contract to do some more infomercials and television series
Talk about a freaky couple of weeks as far as Hollywood pop culture stars deaths go to say the very least….\\
