This is sad. I saw his commercials, and the products he sold were pretty good. I’ve used OxyClean in my laundry. He’ll be missed by many.
RIP

This thread isn’t locked as mine was. What gives? I properly attributed the article and the other 3 posts look identical to mine.
WTH?

Vince was either fighting a prostitute or crashing his car into a tree or both at the time of the alleged incident!

I can only guess that we all posted it at nearly the same time.
I did check the title of this article. In retrospect, I should have only checked the name Billy Mays.

I actually rather liked Ole Billy, he looked like he was having fun and wasn’t taking himself too seriously. And he was well groomed and neat, not like some of the characters on commercials that look like they just woke up from a week long drunken stupor.

Most of these guys are hucksters but, I did buy P90X, the excersise program. I bought thinking, I want to try a different excersise routine.
Well, let me tell you..., It was not some new routine. It turned out to be a routing that will absolutely kick your butt and change your body.
After 6 weeks I had lost weight and felt better than I had in years. It was also fun to do something else besides go Stairmaster and lifting weights.
It is very difficult and would recommend to it anyone who would seriously use it.
BTW, I was in pretty good shape before I started but I am better shape now.
