calliopes_pen | RIP, Billy Mays

This is a bad week to be a celebrity. Billy Mays—best known as a very loud pitchman (even with the volume turned down, you can hear him clearly) for products like Oxy-Clean—has passed away today. He was 50 years old. May he rest in peace. His wife found him to be unresponsive this morning, and soon after he was pronounced dead. Apparently, he had been on a flight recently, and some luggage hit him in the head. If the two are connected, then it was a delayed reaction—like with Natasha Richardson.
