No One Said I Was Nice
Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and Billy Mays died. Not that this is new or anything, but I would like to note that when I heard about the first two I couldn’t have cared less. However, when I heard about Billy Mays I was truly upset.
I have no idea why, though I’m guessing it has something to do with my deep-seeded hatred of the 70′s as a decade and Michael Jackson’s face.

Recently, I was watching TV and a Billy Mays advertisement came on. At first I thought “Well, I think this might be mildly inappropriate, to continue to use a salesman’s selling power even after he’s died. Isn’t that kind of extortionist?” But then, at the end of the commercial, there was a one-second black screen with the words “In Memoriam: Billy Mays 1958-2009.” Really? I feel like that may not be enough to justify the use of a dead tv-personality to make money on late-night television…
