Now I won't have to mute my tv everytime I hear his obnoxious voice.

RIP Billy. Go yell somewhere else.

Regardless of whether you liked his voice or not....the man had a wife and family. They lost their loved one. That remark seems rather tasteless in light of that.

Glad he can stop inconveniencing you with his voice now...although his wife probably doesn't feel the same way.

Yes, he had a wife and a young daughter, 3 years old I believe. That poor little girl doesn't have a daddy anymore.

And like I posted in one of my other posts, he didn't always talk like that. That was his act, no matter how annoying anyone thinks it is. And I am one that thought it was annoying, but I'm not glad he's gone.

I also agree with Rachel's post. There is a time and place for jokes. I'm all for jokes, but not in a thread talking about someone's death.

I agree, and feel the same way. It makes me feel a bit sick to see/hear disrespectful jokes about people who have passed and left behind grieving family and friends. I guess if people have to joke about them, I hope they do it elsewhere than in threads discussing their passing.

Well, it wasn't an injury to his head that caused his death. The coroner said all signs point to heart disease. Billy Mays had no known symptoms of heart disease before his death.

According to CNN, he had a hip replacement last year. And I would bet he had a full cardiac work-up before the surgery. So whatever it was, there seemed to be no early warning signs.

According to what I heard today on the news, whenever there's a sudden and unexpected death, that's usually the "symptom" (their word) of heart disease. It's very sad. He had a 22 yr. old and a 3 year old plus his wife, of course.

This morning there was a radio station on at the shelter with one of those morning shows featuring a couple of young smarta*s guys making their yuk-yuks about current events. Well, today these two guys were going on and on about Michael Jackson, making all kinds of wisecracks and telling jokes and laughing away. I thought, hey come on, the guy just died suddenly and unexpectedly. At least let him be buried and rest in peace.

There are all sorts of comments one could make about Michael Jackson and the way he lived his life, but what on earth gives these two jokers the idea that they are any better?

Just saw two of his ads....Is it right to keep playing the commercials?

I thought of all the BM commericals that would be taken off the air.

What would we watch then????

RIP Billy Mays.

It is truly pathetic when "adults" can make jokes and insults on a thread about someone's death.

**lvpets2002** · 06-29-2009, 01:39 PM

I so agree.. RIP Billy Mays

Excuse me.

I do feel bad for those loved ones who lost these people who recently passed away. I know there are more than one reasons not to like Michael Jackson, Billy Mays, Farrah, or even Ed. But please, at least, don't sound so cold when it comes to talking about these people. They did have a family, a group of friends, I am sure, who are going to miss them a great amount.

Anyways, I hope they all rest in peace. They are all in a better place. Just remember, God gave them a reason to be on this earth to have the life they've had.

I guess I am just surprised by others' reactions about this. Maybe I am just being very moody since this week/weekend is the first year after my grandfather passed away,and it will be 10 years for my grandmother. Yeah, time goes on, but I will never get over losing them, as they played a big role in my life. Anyways, I felt like I had to say something.

Thanks.

Very well said. Thank you for taking the time to post this.

And no - you're not being moody - you're just being a compassionate young woman!

I was going to type something along these lines but that isn't nessacary anymore. I think you summed it up perfectly, CountryWolf

RIP Billy Mays.
