Wear BLUE on Monday in honor of Billy Mays

More sad news on the celebrity front...  Famous "Pitchman" Billy Mays Jr. was found dead in his home Sunday morning. (No foul play suspected!) What a rough week for celebrities!! *lets out a sympathetic sigh*

Mays had been hit in the head by some stuff from overhead compartments, in a bumpy airplane landing, as per the article linked above. (This may or may not have been the reason for Billy's untimely death... autopsy still to be conducted!)

Billy had posted on his Twitter account at 3:01 p.m. Saturday that he had about the flight. "Just had a close call landing in Tampa. The tires blew out upon landing. Stuck in the plane on the runway. You can always count on US Air."

His son, Billy Mays III, announced on his Twitter page: "My dad didn't wake up this morning.. I'm sure you'll all hear about it. It hasn't yet hit me but it's about to." ... My heart goes out to him & the rest of his family. He also asked that we wear blue tomorrow (Monday) ... "Wear blue tomorrow in memory of Billy- I didn't come up with this but it made me smile and my dad would surely be honored."

Discovery Channel had already programmed a marathon of Billy Mays' new reality show "Pitchmen" on Wednesday... So, if you're at all interested in seeing what it takes to put together an infomercial... tune in starting at 11a.m. (ET)

I believe this stretch was set up due to the new episodes that is being aired at 10p (ET) about how Billy & his fellow Pitchman Anthony "Sully" Sullivan goes after another pitchman... let's just say, because this other had "stole" one of their products & was trying to make it his own. (It maybe the season finale episode as well... that's more likely why they had it programmed.)

I already had that episode set on the DVR... so, I recently went back & set up all the others that I hadn't seen yet. It's a reality show I can actually not get "ill" watching. The show can actually be funny at times.

Could this the "King of Infomercials" last interview? One last link to share about the incredible salesman of the century... A tribute cartoon.

May Billy, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, & Michael Jackson all Rest In Peace!!!
