They say that there were no signs of foul play, but if a killer had instant access to oxyclean, orangeclean, and a myriad of other cleaning products to cover his tracks with... who knows? But let's hope that this wasn't due to a demonstration involving a new kind of bullet proof vest they are selling otherwise I'll never buy anything "as seen on tv" again.


But seriously, I'm shocked. I always liked the guy and how he was able to sell anything. My condolences to the family. (and if you order in the next 5 minutes, every condolence comes with a carrying case and a free supply of sympathy)

When I worked in TV his infomercials were always fun to watch.  Not only could he sell anything, he sold stuff that WORKED.

I always wanted to cut his arms off with a bow saw. He was annoying as hell to watch, always talking way way way too much with his hands. Fastforward any of his infomercials, I bet it looked like he was trying to flap his arms and fly away.

Other than that, he looked like a nice manly man that I'd trust to give me advice about power tools. Maybe because he looks a little like Bob Villa and Al from Home Improvements love child.

I wonder if the Sham-Wow guys had anything to do with his death

You might be on to something there. Back in the 90's we had the big east and west coast rappers at war with one another. Maybe this decade is the decade of infomercial guru violence. Billy Mays sleeps with the fishes... probably on either a Craftmatic adjustable bed or a Sleep Number bed.
