I came home tonight to the news story that Billy Mays was found dead. Now, for those living under a rock, Billy Mays was the pitchman for products like Oxy Clean and stuff that they sell on late night television infomercials. He was the one who stood outside in the wind to prove that Mend It works. It’s sad and he’ll be missed, but I’m absolutely horrible. When I read the story, I couldn’t help but wonder if he was testing some new edible plant based product that turned out to be poisonous.
I know it’s a fucked up way of thinking, but I’m tired tonight and when I’m tired, I come up with whacked out theories about life and stuff. I mean, it’s not overly far fetched, since he’s always on television hocking some new great product. But, unlike a lot of other infomercial pushers, he tests the products and makes sure they do that they say. So it wouldn’t be hard to believe that one of the products killed him.
Hopefully I’m wrong, but you never can tell.
