The point is, the SHAMWOW! guy has the spotlight now.

this time next week itll be Billy who?

They found JADA, how about that instead, girl murdered, toddler, encased in cement in a tub, thrown into a field by her aunt in sparkys neck of the woods.
Murdered over some herion, a innocent child by her own aunt.


Thats right it wasnt someone famous you didnt really hear about it.

Here is another one.
Children dying in Chicago a 'national catastrophe' - CNN.com

begging for national attention and getting crap in return, I think its over 100 CPS kids dead already and rising daily. These are kids from poverty neighborhoods in chicago, not many if any are white kids, this is why you dont hear about it. I live in a chicago neighborhood and have two kids starting school, this kind of stuff needs the attention of everyone. The Mayor is anti-gun however the law abiding cant protect themselves from the criminals with stolen weapons, that isnt the answer to this problem.

Think about it, look at every major city, they all have kids dying and not a single voice gets heard nationally, I hope hollywood dies then things that really matter in life will become the center point again.

/rant


I do have feelings and do feel for his family and friends loss but he is just a human after all, natural and accidentals do happen its a part of life, the only guarantee we got in it.

Wow.. How sad for you...

I bet everyone here would be sad if he sold a aquarium safe sort of oxyclean for salt creep and such. xD

Or maybe if he was selling MH lights that don't generate tons of heat!

Oh well... I'm glad I'm not 50

Nobody's suggesting building a statue or canonizing him. Just commenting on some commonality. It's one of the things that makes us human; the ability to recognize commonality and empathize.

Wow... I had no idea what I was going to find when I clicked on this thread. I thought maybe he went to jail like that other infomercial guy. I was shocked when I read he was dead! This has been a bad week for celebrities! RIP Billy

It is but its not aimed at Mays at all its aimed at what the media does to people and its only a matter of fame and money.

Im not pointing fingers or being juvenile about this, I am just wondering what happened to america. We are a bunch of cattle, no one thinks for themselves, no one does anything to help their fellow neighbor let alone fellow man. We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on relief aid to foreign countries yet the average blue collar worker( the backbone of america) cant afford to see a doctor, cant afford to feed their family properly. It just makes me sick to my stomach to know society has gone to the level its at.

Its jsut that if you dont have money in this society you equal nothing. Not my opinion just my observation for the past 15 or so years that ive been really paying attention to the news and what its done to the people.

Im not a conservative or democrat, this isnt political by any means its strictly from my own opinion.

I can't wait for this year to be behind Me, I've had 3 personal losses within the past 2 months and to constantly hear of all these other poor soles passing reminds you of how precious life is and how short it can be. You never know when your number will be called. May they all rest in peace. Enjoy life today for tomorrow may never come.

WD- American's aren't the only ones that idolize celebrities. Every nation in the world does. It is a break from the reality of our lives to talk about celebrities. Some people look up to celebrities as role models. Others view musicians as life savers because of a song that they wrote. What does it matter? Billy Mays is a national celebrity who happened to die. People "knew" him because he was in the limelight. The difference between the people you mentioned and Billy Mays is that Billy was known by millions of people. Can't fault people for knowing who he is.

It's too bad because he seemed like a nice guy. Short supply of those in the world.

And can we stop talking about the 50 thing... I just turned 46, don't need that big 5 - 0 staring at me
